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 […]

La Mesa
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 […]
