The Krikorian Theatre’s Problem

I love going to the movies. I especially enjoy the Krikorian Metroplex 15 in Vista. It’s convenient and clean, and the people who work there have always been cordial to me and my family. What’s more, the chairs are very cushy, comfortable and tall, and spaced so that you can easily see over the people […]

Shark Attack!

This morning, 66-year-old retired veterinarian Dave Martin was swimming off the coast of Solana Beach when he was attacked by a shark. It is believed that it was a great white shark that is still on the loose.
After the attack, Dr. Martin was dragged from the water by fellow swimmers, but died from the […]

National City
Oceanside
Poway
San Diego
Solana Beach

These smoking bans are due not only to concern for the effect of second-hand smoke, but the awful litter left by smokers.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but it seems […]
