If 2020 has proved anything, it’s that La Jollans don’t lose their fighting spirit.
As the world battled the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, locals hopped online or otherwise did what they could for various causes whether it be neighborhood character, racial justice or adapting to ever-changing public health restrictions to keep their businesses open. All of this without in-person entertainment, meetings and events and while staying masked and socially distanced.
Through Dec. 26, residents of La Jolla’s 92037 ZIP code had registered 833 cases of the virus. San Diego County’s cumulative cases stood at 145,779 as of Dec. 27, with more than 1,400 related deaths.
My Life with Charley Pride
OPINION I had been in Nashville for six long years I started as an agent forThe Hubert Long Agency, then hired on as a tour consultant for two years with Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn. As that tour came to an end I got a call from Tom Collins, a well known producer and head of Charley Pride’s Pi Gem music. Could I meet with Charley next Tuesday? Of course.
Pride was relaxed in a golf shirt and jeans. He immediately went straight to the point. His intention was to establish a booking and management agency headquartered in Dallas. Would I run the operation, he asked. In just 24 hours I was packed and headed home to Texas.
Nonprofit group deems five historic sites across county “endangered” [The San Diego Union-Tribune]
A local group focused on preserving historic buildings is adding five new sites to its annual “endangered list,” which aims to raise awareness of the old buildings and prevent demolition or major renovations that alter their character.
The five new entries this year are the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, a Chase bank in eastern Pacific Beach, a Victorian house in San Marcos, pepper trees in Kensington and auto cottages on the beach in Oceanside.
The other seven sites are Presidio Park, the Hillcrest historic district, Barratt Ranch in Jamul, Granger Music Hall in National City, the Big Stone Lodge in Poway and two sites in La Jolla: Pottery Canyon Kiln and Red Rest & Red Roost Bungalows.
