On to the Next Major Reform by J. F. Kelly, Jr.

A commentary by J. F. Kelly, Jr.

While job creation and job stabilization is what Americans need and want most now, what they are likely to get next is an attempt at a massive overhaul of immigration policy.

Amazing Photos: Tide, storms expose gaming ship



CORONADO — At low tide, in the sands beneath the towering Coronado Shores condominiums, lie signs of buried pleasure.



Recent storms have temporarily washed away layers of beach that usually entomb the remains of an old gambling ship called the S.S. Monte Carlo, which ran aground 73 years ago. Portions of the 300-foot vessel now lie exposed to sun, surf and sightseers. A Coronado city crew examined the wreck yesterday, removing… Continue

CORONADO: Coronado officials are warning swimmers and surfers to stay clear of the wreckage of the S.S. Monte Carlo, an old gambling ship that ran aground near the Coronado Shores 74 years ago.

A typical SEAL? Think 007, not Rambo



By Chris Jansing, NBC News Correspondent



The world looks very different from 40 feet up, hanging onto a rope wall. My advice? Don’t look down.



A lot phenomenally fit people, including world-famous athletes and Olympians, have frozen at the top of the wall, which is part of the legendary obstacle course on the Navy SEAL base in Coronado, Calif. Who knew that vertigo routinely kicks in at 40 feet without a safety… Continue

Coronado's Whitney Benzian Featured in "35 Under 35" SDNN Article

It’s often the case where a truly inspiring human being is asked “who inspires you?” With our 35 under 35 community leaders, we asked the same question. The answers were an array of sorts. From a former basketball player to the county’s district attorney, to a 12-year-old who gave a noteworthy speech to the United Nations, to simply, everyday volunteers who allocate a certain amount of time each week for the greater good.…

A Visit To Castello Banfi Estate In Montalcino, Italy

Orange and Park: Goodhue Square

The North Island Naval Air Station (NASNI) military base is off-limits to and, sadly, remains a mystery for a great many civilian residents of Coronado.
