The San Diego Special Edition

The San Diego Special Edition - August 18, 2008

by Carole A. Lane on August 18th, 2008

Welcome to the August 2008 issue of The San Diego Special Edition! We have an excellent mix of bloggers participating this month, with articles ranging from arts to sports. I hope that you enjoy reading this compilation of some of San Diego’s best blogs, and show the writers some love by leaving your comments on their sites. Enjoy!

arts

Starting off this month’s offerings is Kevin Freitas’ excellent article Rubber Rose est mort. Vive Rubber Rose. posted at Art as Authority. If you want to know anything about the art scene in San Diego, this is the place to find it, and when you read this article, you’ll understand why.

business

Turning to business, Maria Palma presents An Interview With Andrew Arroyo of Andrew Arroyo Real Estate, with some advice for real estate buyers and sellers. This is posted at Home Solutions San Diego Blog.

Then, for an in-depth look at adjustable rate mortgages, see Can Option ARMs Be The Solution? posted at World Wide Wealth Advisors by Brian Brady.

economy

Continuing in this vein, Dan Melson makes a real case for buying real estate now, as he presents Is San Diego Market Underpriced or Overpriced? - A Thought Experiment for August 2008 posted at Dan Melson’s La Mesa Real Estate and Mortgage Website.

entertainment

Writin’ and Rockin’ in the Desert is presented by Larry Hogue at DesertBlog. Read about San Diego’s 2nd Annual “Protect Our Communities Benefit Concert,” which looks like three days and nights that will totally rock - for a good cause!

Then T. Dalia presents I’ll get you my pretty posted at Daily Dalia. She makes me want to curl up in front of the TV with some popcorn to watch it all again.

family

For more family fun, Sage presents San Diego : New Children’s Museum posted at RandomSanDiego.com, saying,

“San Diego’s New Children’s Museum opened its doors in May of 2008 and has quickly established itself as one of the best kid-friendly things to do in San Diego. Read More about the New Children’s Museum, including a link to Free Admission Days.”

food

By now, you could probably use a bite to eat, so amanda s presents a review of two sushi restaurants at Staying Classy in San Diego, with her post Sushi Deli One and Two.

other

I don’t want to freak you out, especially if you’ve just eaten, but Steve presents a startling image Hairy Man in My Backyard! posted at BinaryWolf. This cactus must be quite the conversation starter at backyard barbecues!

Next, Melissa Hedwall presents Beauty Battle: AVON vs. Shiseido posted at Oh! San Diego. Melissa admits that this is a “shameless plug,” in view of the fact that she sells Avon, but I imagine I’m not the only sun-loving San Diegan that could use a little help, so why not check out these products?

If a makeup isn’t quite enough…

“For people interested in laser treatments in the San Diego area, this is a list of centers where they can seek for treatment,”

says Simonne, presenting San Diego Fraxel Laser Treatment at San Diego Laser Treatment.

politics

On to politics. Tim Schenck presents Compare San Diego Civic Center Complex Proposals posted at The Best Places In San Diego!, saying,

“Get involved this month with the redevelopment of San Diego’s Civic Center Complex. One of the proposals seeks to redefine downtown with a high-rise urban village.”

Walter Davis presents ******Important*** Bob Filner States Why we need to unite as grassroots organizations posted at San Diego Mega Progressive Community Coalition, saying,

“Congressman Filner discussed the importance of community unity with me on my video blog.”

(Page down on this site to the Friday, July 18, 2008 post to view this Google video.)

Ryan Hazelton presents what he describes as an “Informative article about local San Diego business and California state politics,” in Boycott Called Against San Diego’s Manchester Hyatt posted at The Ryan Thomas Collection. What do you think? Get involved!

san diego

Matt Browne has created a place for San Diego Bloggers to connect, which he presents at SDBloggers Connect on FriendFeed posted at Matt Browne. What a fun read, or should I say feed?

sports

Last of all, hoping you’re enjoying watching the Olympics as much as I am, I’ll contribute my article Take a Tour of the Olympic Training Center from right here at The San Diego Traveler.

That concludes this edition. I hope you enjoyed visiting all of these blogs, and bookmarked the ones you liked for return visits.
