New Police Trailer Message: Watch for Feds? (VIDEO)

We spotted this flashing sign coming back from the beach on Ocean Blvd earlier today.  It's supposed to say:  "WATCH FOR PEDS" as in "pedestrians", but thought it was video-worthy that it said "FEDS".



Earlier in the week, it said "PEDS".  Not sure if the "P" is partially burnt out, or just an error.  …

Robb Huff Recalls Announcing the 4th of July Parade for 20 Years



"My wife and I have been announcing this Parade for 20 years and we’re not even half way to the time our predecessor's did it!"

 

You see, Mr. Al Laing held court in front of the library for over 40 years.

 

Back in '88 (when I had just turned six) my wife signed us up as Fifth Street Announcers.  Back then each block had an announcer station and the script was simply read aloud. …

Review: Joe vs. the Volcano at Lamb's Players

My husband and I just saw the curent play at Lamb's. My advice is to hurry and get a ticket! "Joe" is very entertaining. We laughed out loud and had a great time. Intermission at Encore Cafe added to the fun. We are so lucky to have Lamb's and its talent in Coronado!

Photo: Coronado Residents Take Their Parking VERY Seriously

Chris Searles sent this photo and these words to eCoronado.com:



Between chalk signage on parking places, putting miniature parking cones in front of the house, and that one guy who pulls out two SDG&E signs from his trunk and leaves them on the curb when he drives off to work in the morning, parking in Coronado is serious business...  and the summer is just getting started!  



Cheers and here's to good Coronado parking…

VONS Enforcing 60 Minute Store Parking - Violators will be Towed

Most locals know the rules when it comes to parking in the VONS lot.  Just a reminder to visitors and locals that parking is being enforced and your car will be towed if you park in the lot for more than an hour.

LOST iPhone at 545 I Avenue, Coronado

My daughter dropped her iPhone in front of our home on Tuesday June 26th at approximately 6:00 pm. She was on her way to drive her sister to work.  If any early-morning walker or jogger found her WHITE iPHONE 4-S with white leather case please drop it back to our home at 545 I Avenue or call my cell phone and we will come pick it up.  It was only 2 weeks old and it was her birthday present!

Thank you for helping!   Shelli @ 619-726-4931
