Tat City
I’ve never lusted to have someone create indelible drawings on my own skin. But I kind of enjoy looking at other people’s tattoos. And I have many questions about the larger tattoo culture, e.g.: why has it become so much more mainstream in … Continue reading

A Meal with a View

Powerless
San Diego is normally a glowing, buzzing, light-filled place, at night as well as during the day, so when the power went out yesterday it transformed the place. When it started, around 3:40, I assumed that the heat had caused … Continue reading

It took me four and half years, but I finally made it to the “new’ home of San Diego Hardware (the oldest family owned business in the city, according to the store’s website.) What a disappointment. Founded in 1892, and moved … Continue reading
The Eureka Zone
If ever there was a time to drive up to Chief Mountain in the Pala District, shell out $60, and spend a couple of hours washing rocks under the blazing sun, this is it. The mountain, which lies just down … Continue reading
