The La Jolla Parks & Beaches board will reconvene its Parks Master Plan working group to assess the latest draft of the city of San Diego’s “Parks for All of Us” initiative.
The working group intends to make a recommendation before the plan is heard by the City Council sometime in July.

The La Jolla Shores home of late oceanographer Walter Munk is eligible for and will be nominated to the National Register of Historic Places, according to a State Historical Resources Commission vote April 30.
The home, called Seiche (after a standing wave oscillating in a body of water), was built by Munk, known as the “Einstein of the Oceans” for his research at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and his second wife, Judith, who died in 2006.
Munk decided in 2014 to donate the home to UCSD. His third wife and widow, Mary Coakley Munk, lived there until February as part of a two-year tenancy that began after Walter Munk’s death in 2019.

The year 2020 brought more questions than most of us were prepared for: When can concerts resume? Did my favorite restaurant close? Should I wear a mask? The list goes on and on.
