Sleepy Encinitas

Not much happening in Encinitas these days. Mayor Jerome Stocks handed the reigns over to Maggie Houlihan. Nothing burned down. The Hall Park is still not built. No new El Camino Real business closures.
Sleepy Encinitas. Just the way I like it.

Hall Property Lawsuit

Here we go. It doesn't take Carnac the Magnificent to predict this coming. Petco Park took less trouble to build. Maybe the city should threaten to pull the park and build it in Chula Vista.

Carnac: When hell freezes over?

Ed: Ha, ha. When hell freezes over, Carnac.

Carnac: When will the Hall Property park be built.

Ed: (falls off chairs laughing).

Special Hall Property Council Meeting

There is going to be a special meeting of the city council to hear appeals on the Hall property proposal. Go and voice your opinion. I will try to get there in time to speak.

Vista Only Paid $12 Million

Vista's Hollandia Park just opened with a skate park, softball fields, dog park, picnic benches, playgrounds, and an amphitheater. All on 30 acres for the bargain price of $12 million. Is this park 3 times better than the Hall property proposal? I doubt it. Did Vista have a $24 million coupon?

Hall Property

The UT has a synopsis of the current Hall property situation. Dan Dalager is always good for a quote and this is no exception. He states the city can afford phase 1, as long as we redefine phase 1. Be he fails to mention how to redefine.
How about this idea for phase 1. Put grass in the entire park, mark out some trails and let people use the dang thing. It shouldn't cost much to do that and that way the space in getting some mileage while everyone battles it out about the soccer fields and lighting.
