If I'm a bit biased in my review I apologize. If I get the details mixed up it's because the events…read morethat took place happened when I was 6-17 years old. Please let me know and I'll correct. My father, Thomas Shess, started this little newspaper out of our home on 28th St. He wanted to give a unifying voice for the people of North Park and their homes to set forth positive change within the neighborhood. At the time (1993), many of the historic homes that give NP such character were in disarray. In even worse shape was "Downtown" North Park, with the blighted North Park Theater, and seedy 30th and University bus transfer area. Look how far we've come. In a time when this community was considered nothing but ghetto, a handful of residents maintained and improved their North Park homes. My dad put together the first issue of North Park News with the proposed plan of the North Park Sign on the front page below the green masthead, and he ran the paper out of our house on 28th Street until early 2000. This paper was a total family operation, and I can still see and smell the print that wiped off on my hands from stuffing fliers into issues or from dropping them on peoples lawn. I hated it at the time, but now I can't help but laugh when I remember picking up the 2000 or so copies of the paper from the printer. I remember our first color issue, and I remember when I was a staff photographer for a few years shooting Paesano's Customer of the Month. Me being a cute kid and family, my dad always used pictures of my friends and I as models for the front page. We always had a seat of honor during the Toyland Parade, and one year I remember we were loaned a H1 hummer to wave from. It was awesome. My dad sold the paper around 2002 I believe, and I'm happy with how it is today - the buyers are doing a good job. This paper was a part of my life, and now it's a part of the community. Take pride in your neighborhood North Park because people fought to revitalize it. What we see today is a result of the effort of a great number of great people coordinating and working together. To name a few : Senator Christine Kehoe, Councilmember Tony Atkins, Tom & Phyllis Shess, Don Convington, Jay Turner, and anyone who took or takes pride in what is the truly the best and finest neighborhood of San Diego.

I love this little community newspaper but it's so hard to find! When we finally do get our hands…read moreon a copy, it's read cover to cover. NPN, if you're reading this, I'd be happy to pay for a subscription if you made that option available.
