More density? We won't NEED to import hooded thugs on the trolley. We'll grow our own.

We ate there last weekend! Loved it. I had the Gingham burger. It was very tasty with the sunny side egg on it. Fries rocked it too! Great service not only from the servers but the busers also!

Sounds like it was a pretty good feed. I like the price Chris, although I think we will pay more when we go by.

That art show at Liberty Station was amazing! Ms. Carrera's imagination is astounding. Thank you for the tickets! I really appreciated it. That was a neat experience.

Chris: I was telling you at Cosmos about Lynn O'Shaughnessy, the author/journalist who writes about finding the right college at the right price. Her Book is called "The College Solution." She's got her own website by the same name: http://thecollegesolutionblog.com/ and she also blogs about college at CBS MoneyWatch web site. She's spoken to parents at High Tech High, Our Lady of Peace, Grossmount HS, La Costa Canyon, and she's looking for more speaking opportunities. She'd be a great resource for you at LJCD--and she lives in La Mesa!

Hello,
I have been enjoying reading about La Mesa. Thank you for developing this News Paper. I have invited my friends to joing. I do have a comment, it is my opinion that the sound that accompanied the video about Reggie Bush had inappropriate language.
Thank you

Yes, thank you for sharing, Sandy.  Unfortunately, unemployment has an invisible face to the employed. When my boyfriend was unemployed for 6 months, he was the butt of many a poor joke and snide comment from my family, who are all employed and…

I would love to see this happen.  Especially if we could get it to happen all over the city and not just at Grossmont Center.

LA MESA CENTENNIAL

A Call To Celebrate La Mesa's Centennial WithNoisy "Flash Mob" Car Alarms & Horns, Bells, Whistles!  LA MESA -- Wouldn’t it be unique to celebrate La Mesa's Centennial with a synchronized chorus of celebratory noise. At a pre-determined instant in time, every La Mesa loving resident and their pals would honk their car horns, hit those panic buttons, and/or turn on those obnoxious car alarms. We could even allow the kids, and the kids in all of us adults, to bang pots and pans, hit trash can…See More
