‘Il Duce’ of San Diego?
I’ve been enjoying my stay in San Diego with lots of rest and catching up with friends. In a few weeks I’ll be off to Fort Worth, Texas, but I’m loving our San Diego; it’s good to be home for a while. Mr. Luhnow, why GLBT over LGBT? I was truly taken back, when I…
LGBT Millennials are not their parents’ generation
They’re still young and they’re still not “entitled,” as so many of their parents’ generation are wont to declare them. They are the Millennials; they are Echo Boomers; they are Generation Y. If entitlement means a feeling that whatever I want, I have the right to take – regardless of whom the taking is from,…
Young Hillcrest style is funky and edgy
I’m about to make one of the biggest understatements I’ve made in a long time; I love writing about fashion, and as a photographer I love shooting hot new styles even more. However, these “hot new styles” typically come at ridiculously high marked-up prices. They also come with some uncaring faux bohemian in the store…
Bursting with fresh starts

San Diego’s real estate market is hot
There is no exact timeframe or science to real estate cycles, but this alternation has been going on internationally ever since there were landowners. Today in San Diego and in most of the world, it is a buyer’s market. It has been a buyer’s market for four to five years, as prices have continued to…
From late-night eateries to zombies, we cover it all
Melissa Etheridge rocked it like no other at Harrah’s Open Sky Theater, June 22. As we watched her perform on a stage set against a background landscape of mountains – all beneath a canopy of a star-filled night sky, the atmosphere became magical. The crowd was full of old and new Etheridge fans; nearly all…
