Or what did San Clementeans prefer to see on the vacant 250-acre Marblehead Coastal palisade, as developers were formulating plans?
What option should the city select to preserve and make use of the historic Casa Romantica, which the city had purchased to consider ways to preserve as a blufftop landmark?
How did San Clemente locals and the business community react to Beach Trains, aboard which Metrolink began shuttling hundreds of Inland Empire residents to our pier on selected summer weekends?
