My review is of the San Diego County Social Workers and the County System as a Whole…read more The social services system within the County of San Diego is, without question, one of the most dysfunctional and disheartening public institutions I have ever had to rely on. The structure in place is completely reprehensive--built on delays, miscommunication, and a lack of urgency that actively harms the people who genuinely need help. Recently, I submitted all the documents requested to have my food stamps reinstated under an emergency situation. Our household's food supply was set to run out in three days or less, and I made this explicitly clear. After turning in the paperwork, I called on Monday to verify everything had been received and to explain that we had an urgent need. Despite that, I was essentially given the runaround. The person I spoke with told me there were additional items required--items that the previous staff member never informed me about. Had I been told initially, those documents would have been submitted over the weekend along with the others. Because of this lack of communication and accountability, no one at the county was able to confirm whether we would receive our food stamp allotment before the weekend. As it stands, my children may end up having nothing to eat until they return to school on Monday morning. The fact that a system designed to prevent hunger can't even guarantee food for children over a weekend--after being notified of the urgency--is absolutely outrageous. This isn't just an inconvenience. It's a failure of basic responsibility and human decency. The county's lack of consideration for my children's well-being and nutritional needs is unacceptable. Families should not be left in limbo because information wasn't properly communicated. Emergencies should be handled within one business day--especially when children's access to food is at stake. San Diego County must confront the painful truth: its social service system does not serve the vulnerable. Instead, it traps people in bureaucratic loops that delay urgent help and create unnecessary suffering. I demand real, meaningful change--communication that is consistent, processing that is timely, and a system that recognizes the real-world consequences of its inaction. No family should ever have to fear a weekend without food because of preventable administrative failures.

This is a pretty nice park and community center area. It has baseball fields that sports teams play…read moregames at and the community hall where they hold events, and they even have a skatepark! They have lights at this place after dark but I still recommend only coming during the daytime. There isn't really anything else within walking distance of this area so keep that in mind. Luckily there are restrooms here but they lock them after dark. The skatepark is SUPER tiny and is meant for more experienced skaters as it has big bowl, but every time I have been here there are rude boys that make fun of girls and think they are cool. They also smoke w33d here unfortunately. I wish they wouldn't because there are children around.

I joined the Escondido Chamber of Commerce earlier this year. I have been a member of 5 different…read morechambers of commerce over my 15 years in business. I have never felt so welcomed! I was immediately introduced to several members on my first visit and was made to feel a part of the group even though I was just a guest. I joined that night and only continue to be more impressed with each event. The events are fun and always seem to end with a new lead for business in one way or another. The chamber has also referred business to me. There's a feel of camaraderie and family right from the first visit I haven't felt from other chambers. My time is very limited running a business and raising a four year old but the time I spend with the chamber always pays off.

The reason why I didn't give them 5 stars is because their front office staff double booked my room, making me wait an extra 20 minutes which was understandable I suppose, but when I asked to put my cell phone out by the front desk to send an important video on my phone as their rooms sometimes block the signal. I was told "i cannot watch your device". SMH. Bad enough you double booked my room, the least you could do is let me put my device down for 2 minutes to send an important video! wow.
