Those attractions found in the city of San Diego and its suburbs.
Perched on a hill overlooking Mission Valley is the site of San Diego’s first settlement—the Presidio—and the mission-like museum to Father Junípero Serra. When Spain finally decided to settle San Diego more than 200 years after Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo first landed in the harbor in 1542, they placed their settlement atop this hill just northeast… Read More Presidio & Junípero Serra Museum
Pearson Deli on Shelter Island Drive in Point Loma is something you’ll miss if you blink as you drive by, but you shouldn’t. It’s a small deli at the head of the Pearson Fuel Pier (an odd combination, I know) where many of the local yacht brokers and boat repair yard workers alike will stop… Read More Pearson Deli
Tucked between the San Diego Natural History Museum and the San Diego Zoo is the Spanish Village Art Center with its numerous studios and galleries. Just walking into the central plaza of the center is a visual delight, with the hand-painted concrete, displayed art, and, right now, the jacaranda and bougainvillea in bloom. The eye-popping… Read More Spanish Village Art Center
Petco Park is the 12-year old home of the San Diego Padres Major League Baseball team that can seat 42,445 fans. I’m going to preface this article with two personal tidbits about me. First, I’m not a huge baseball aficionado. In my life, I’ve been to two games at the old Comiskey Park and one at… Read More Petco Park
Playing disc golf at Morley Field Disc Golf Course can be fun and frustrating, just like real golf (without the bent clubs and roto-tilled fairway—at least the way I play golf). I had never seen disc golf in action prior to my visit here, and I came away with a new appreciation for the sport.… Read More Morley Field Disc Golf Course
Plum Pottery is a bright, airy pottery studio and shop where you can see local artisans hunched over a spinning potter’s wheel forming their next creation. I stumbled across it as I explored South Park last weekend and decided to pop in for a visit. Three artists were there plying their craft, and they educated… Read More Plum Pottery
No, not the television show—the San Diego neighborhood on the southeastern edge of Balboa Park. South Park isn’t perhaps as well-known as its bigger brother, North Park, or its cousin, Hillcrest, but don’t let that stop you from visiting this charming, eclectic neighborhood with a true community feel to it. The heart of South Park is… Read More South Park

For several years now, the city has been making a concerted effort to make… Read More Imperial Beach Pier & Farmer’s Market
Spring break will soon be upon us, and if you’re looking to engage the kiddos with some physical activity while they’re out of school, the playground at Pepper Grove in Balboa Park may be just what the doctor ordered. Of course, you don’t need it to be spring break to visit the playground—go any day.… Read More Pepper Grove Playground
