The area of Bay Park in San Diego is a much desired area in San Diego. There are some very popular businesses and shops such as Siesel's Meats, Starbucks, Sprouts, Bay Park Coffee, Local Krave, Bull's Smokin BBQ, JV's Mexican Food, Luce Bar & Kitchen, and Bird's Surf Shed. Having raised my kids in the area for the last 10 years I can attest to the fact that this is a very tight knit community. I see many neighbors helping neighbors and several businesses donating to local schools. In addition...

Last week I visited Cafe Bassam between Quince Street and Redwood Street in Bankers Hill.

Del Mar Beach is a central location for my kids and I to meet family living in Carlsbad. This beach is great for swimming, surfing, walking, building sand castles, playing at the playground, jogging, eating, shopping, and much more. It is lined with nice, expensive homes. Public restrooms are located under the stage area at the Del Mar Community Powerhouse building. We enjoy meeting friends and family at this beach/park for a day of fun followed by grabbing dinner at a local restaurant. This...
