Bayview Terrace Elementary School
Bayview Terrace Elementary no longer exists. The school is now Barnard Elementary.— January 3, 2014 1:29 p.m.
In P.B. the hotter you are the easier it is not to care
I am also a white collar professional who has resided in Pacific Beach for over 8 years. While I do admit that many of the senarios described do exist, they are not the norm and are easy to avoid. Pacific Beach is a wonderful place to live and stories like this one only perpetuate the negative stereotypes of this community.— April 23, 2013 10:37 a.m.
CIF playoff parings
1/3 (22) of the teams that made it into the playoffs had a below .500 record. Now 28 or so playoff games (going into the finals) were decided by 3 or more touchdowns. That's approximately 46% of the playoff games. Can San Diego CIF finally wake up and go to 4 divisions like every other sport? Competition is good for these student-athletes. Being rewarded for mediocrity is not!— December 6, 2010 6:21 p.m.
License Creep
The problem is not the businesses. The problem is two fold: 1) As property values in PB rose, many residents saw their properties as an investment rather than a place to live. As residents sold and/or rented their properties PB's transient population grew. Of course businesses that cater to a more transient population will flourish. 2) The rules are flawed. The state of California sets the rules for how restaurants/bars operate. The businesses in PB follow the rules. I think opponents of those businesses should be lobbying their elected officials to have the rules changed. Not only would it be more effective, but also less contentious and divisive.— June 18, 2010 10:33 a.m.
What are your thoughts on Alcohol in the PB/MB community?
I am vehemently against the beach ban. I am against open liquor laws in general. Everything that these laws are meant to combat is already illegal (drunk in public, minor in possession, etc.). I have been coming to Pacific Beach for decades, and have now been a resident for six years. I have seen the good and the bad of this community. As surrounding communities banned alcohol, the party got a bit more crowded here. So, I supported a more common sense approach of banning alcohol on holiday weekends and alcohol free zones on the beach. I feel the more common sense approach is to deal with the offenders rather than punish everyone. You deal with those offenders by increasing the penalties for alcohol related offenses, and perhaps licensing of alcohol consumption (losing it when you prove you don't deserve it). I don't know where PB is going. I think that if everyone respected each other, we all could live in harmony. Now if we could just get less vacation rentals around here...— June 13, 2010 6:21 p.m.
