This is another joint post. Please be kind include both writers in your comments. Thanks. First portion written by Soo I remember the orange groves and the green leafy vegetables. When I was a kid we drove through Escondido to get to the Wild Animal Park. Out the car window fruits and veggies grew in […]

Johnny Rockets – UTC
UTC is a short walk to get a meal for me. UTC is an attractive dinner spot as traffic in this area is terrible at dinner time so I don’t like hopping in the car. I tend to alternate between Red Robin and Eureka Burger when I’m in the mood for a burger. I was […]
Islands – La Jolla

Unofficial Yelp Event $6 Burgers at Balboa’s Tap House
I must confess I have a weakness for swag. It all started in grade school when the teachers started giving out swag for being good, getting to class on time, holidays, and doing well on tests. While the gold stars were nice candy was what I wanted the most.
