    Mar 13 2025
    Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for March 13, 2025.

    We're waking up to another rainy day in San Diego as the powerful storm that hit overnight continues to impact our region. The National Weather Service has issued both a Winter Storm Warning and a Wind Advisory for parts of the county until later this evening. Flooding and sinkholes are possible, so please use caution if you need to travel today.

    In breaking news, a fire broke out at an abandoned building in Liberty Station early this morning. Fire crews are on the scene, and we'll bring you updates as we learn more.

    Over in National City, the community is mourning the loss of a mother killed in a hit-and-run accident. The family is calling for the driver to come forward as they seek closure.

    On a brighter note, the San Diego Unified School District has unveiled a $37.5 million remodel of a 120-year-old elementary school, bringing the historic building into the 21st century with modern amenities while preserving its charm.

    In sports, San Diego State's men's basketball team claimed the Mountain West Championship last night in a thrilling triple-overtime victory against Wyoming. The Aztecs are now set for March Madness, and we'll be following their journey closely.

    Looking at real estate, the average home price in San Diego has stabilized around $850,000 this month. While still high, it's a slight dip from last year's peak.

    For job seekers, we're seeing growth in the tech and biotech sectors, with several companies hosting job fairs next week. Check our website for details on locations and times.

    In cultural news, the first publicly licensed cannabis festival in San Diego County is happening this weekend in Vista. The Farmers Cup at Moonlight Amphitheatre will feature local growers and products.

  • San Diego Fees Rise, Rain Returns, Reader Ends Print, UCSD Track Triumphs

    San Diego Fees Rise, Rain Returns, Reader Ends Print, UCSD Track Triumphs
    Mar 11 2025
    Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for March 11, 2025.

    We're starting with some breaking news from City Hall. The San Diego City Council has just approved a controversial measure to raise many fees and services by nearly 20%. This decision, made late yesterday, will affect everything from parking meters to building permits. While city officials argue it's necessary to maintain services, many residents are expressing concern about the increased cost of living.

    In weather news, San Diego is bracing for a shift back to rainy conditions. The National Weather Service is forecasting rain and mountain snow starting this evening and continuing through tomorrow. If you're heading out today, don't forget your umbrella, and be prepared for potentially slick roads during the evening commute.

    On the business front, we're sad to report that after 52 years, the San Diego Reader has ended its print edition. The alternative weekly is shifting to online-only publishing and laying off staff. It's truly the end of an era for local journalism.

    In sports, the UC San Diego track and field team had an impressive showing at the Ben Brown Invite last weekend. The Tritons broke four school records and picked up seven wins. Standout performances included Charlie Frank and Tate Meaux finishing first and second in the men's 3000m steeplechase.

    Looking ahead to community events, don't miss the 13th Anniversary Celebration at Lucky's Lunch Counter today from 7 AM to 3 PM. And for those interested in mindfulness, there's a 6-Week Short Course in Mindful Self-Compassion starting this morning at 9:30 AM online.

    In education news, congratulations to Sunny Sharma and Jiwoo Kim, who have been named UC San Diego's Athletes of the Week. Sharma excelled in fencing, while Kim helped lead the women's water polo team to victory.

    On a somber note, we're reporting the passing of San Diego's first Black city councilman and county supervisor at the age of 102. His contributions to our city's progress will not be forgotten.

    In public safety news, firefighters battled a storage facility fire in Lakeside early this morning. One firefighter fell through the floor but thankfully suffered only minor injuries. We're grateful for their bravery and quick response.

    Finally, some good news for our local environment. Eos Energy has landed an $8 million battery storage project at Naval Base San Diego, which will help advance clean energy initiatives in our area.

    "Rainy Commutes, CIF Playoffs, and North Park Farewell: San Diego Local Pulse for March 7, 2025"
    Mar 7 2025
    Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for March 7, 2025.

    We're waking up to a rainy day in San Diego, with showers expected to continue throughout the morning. The wet weather has caused some traffic delays, so allow extra time for your commute. We're looking at a high of 62 degrees today, with clearing skies this afternoon.

    In sports news, the CIF San Diego Section basketball playoffs are heating up. Last night, Sierra Canyon defeated Santa Barbara 78-45 in the Division I quarterfinals. JSerra also advanced with a 79-54 win over Carlsbad. The semifinals are set for Saturday, with JSerra facing top-seeded Sierra Canyon.

    Turning to local government, the Encinitas City Council introduced an ordinance this week to reimburse property owners for sewer main extension costs on El Camino Del Norte. The council will vote on adopting the measure at their March 19 meeting.

    In business news, we're sad to report that the beloved North Park Vegan Food Pop-Up is closing its doors after five years. But fear not, food lovers - they're going out with a bang. This Saturday from noon to 4 pm, they'll host their final event at the North Park Mini Park, featuring live music and all your favorite plant-based vendors.

    Looking ahead to the weekend, there's plenty happening around town. The California Center for the Arts in Escondido is presenting "Motown: The Groove That Changed America" tonight and tomorrow at 7:30 pm. Tickets start at $25. And for those seeking a livelier scene, Carnaval 2025 takes over The Rooftop by STK on Saturday night, promising samba dancers, DJs, and Latin-inspired bites.

    In real estate news, the median home price in San Diego held steady last month at $825,000. Experts say the market is showing signs of stabilizing after last year's interest rate hikes.

    On a somber note, we're remembering San Diego's first Black city councilman and county supervisor, who passed away this week at the age of 102. His legacy of public service and breaking racial barriers will long be remembered in our community.

    In public safety news, Oceanside police are asking for the public's help in locating a missing 15-year-old girl last seen near Oceanside High School on Wednesday afternoon. Anyone with information is urged to contact the police department.

    On a brighter note, UC San Diego swimmer Chloe Braun has qualified for the 2025 NCAA Women's Swim and Dive Championships. She'll be representing the Tritons later this month in Federal Way, Washington.

    Lastly, a quick reminder that daylight saving time begins this Sunday. Don't forget to set your clocks forward one hour before bed on Saturday night.
