Jeffrey Atencio commented on Joseph Ditler's blog post 'Anniversary of Demise of Small-Town Coronado'"Good for you. These homes have a lot of history just because they are here in Coronado.

Although it's not meant to be, it is a punishment to business owners that have worked hard to grow their business. There are miles of parking off street. Use that instead of a garage or several parking lots.…"

Jeffrey Atencio commented on Bianca Valle's blog post 'Update on Vacant 918 Orange Ave. Expanding Burger Lounge?'"The answer is obvious. I'm going to address a solution to Mayor Tanaka. Comments welcome. As I recall, the problem in Coronado has always been a lack of parking space, even in the 70's. It's time for the city to be proactive and build…"

- I loved hanging out at the beach of course but my greatest memories were going to the movies on Sat. afternoon or Friday / Saturday night with friends from school and watching movies.

Anyone that has ever had to sit and write a paper for school or a report for work knows the angst a writer has with each new sentence or a completed project.

In the 70's my wife and I, with our year old daughter, came over to the island to visit. I mistakenly missed the stop sign on Pomona where it intersects with Glorietta by the yacht club. An officer pulled me over. I had no excuse, other than being unobservant. He looked at my young daughter and then said "why don't you use the money this ticket would cost you to buy her a new pair of shoes? Drive safely." I never forgot it.
