This is one of the best kept secrets in San Diego! A beautiful city park that hosts a club of train…read moreenthusiasts. They are not an amusement park, but they provide monthly free rides on their track around the park. (they ask for donations, if you can afford a few bucks, they are non-profit organization, and all the money donated goes for track maintenance). They add great value to the park, and the city of Chula Vista is lucky to have them here. Their brochure says "Public rides second full weekend of each month, September-labor day weekend, from noon till 2-30pm. They, also, organize private rides for birthday parties. We went there last month, and today. (Will come again and be reserving a train birthday party in November for my kid). A bunch of friendly people of all ages, smiling, answering questions about their 1:8 scale trains and their club. It was very nice to see young club members helping at the station to load and unload the passengers. There are steam , gas and electric engines of different types. Some members made their own steam locomotives from scratch, using original plans! Wow!

Ridiculous! We got here September 2nd on a Sunday some young skinny guy was running the train he…read morelook lost first of all, more lost then Stevie Wonder in a dark room! Kids were asking him when the next train ride was & a dad ask too, he ignored it took off then half way on his solo ride he picked up some people that were not in line & he knew & ignored the line waiting for him. Ok cool what ever, he went around 3 times with them he made eye contact with us all 3 times. At these times he could of told us that was the final ride but never did. So we waited bout 30 min, why 30 min? Well the train is slow & he dropped them off before the line then talked to them for about 10 min hugged them then took his sweet time to get on then he drove by us only to tell us "That's it folks", his ass made us wait bout 30 min saw us 3 times & never told us the people he picked up that were not in the line was his final ride! That was a punk move & me & another dad were mad. Very unprofessional & rude he was lucky the other dad didn't chase him down & confront him because he wanted too but I told him it ain't worth it (that guy should thank me the angry dad was big) & he saw the kids & checked himself. That lost, slow worker needs to learn how to communicate & be better at his job. 3 times he went by us knowing it was the last ride (to his friends he knew & were not in line) & never said anything bout being the last ride & took his time after he dropped them off to come & just drive by us to say "That's all folks". Many kids waiting were upset waiting for 30 min, all this lost worker had to do was tell us "Last ride" when he picked them up & drove by us! Hellen Keller can communicate better then this guy. The only good thing is I saved the $5 I was gonna donate. Next time homie you see people in line & you know your on your last ride tell them don't make them wait as you make 3 turns by them, the train is slow enough to tell us you ain't on a jet bro you on a slow very slow train. I won't be going back I rather have Stevie Wonder drive me on a train then go there.

While I was there, I renewed my membership with the Post and I plan to help the VFW in July during "STAND DOWN" San Diego. Stand Down San Diego is one part of the Department of Veterans Affairs' efforts to provide many different services over an entire weekend at San Diego High School (July 15-17, 2011) to homeless veterans here in our area. If you are a Veteran of a foreign war and live in the San Diego area, I recommend that you contact VFW Post 2111. We would love to have you as a part of our organization.

not much of a women's center anymore. very industrial area, which i like. surprised citymark is…read moresupposed to be building high end residences here across from walmart and the automotive shop. very different design for citymark as well - when i purchased one of their condos (m2i) there was a lot of architectural talk about matching the facade to the surrounding neighborhood - didn't work out that way, but i liked the exposed structural materials at that location. in the end - a condo at this location cannot be worth more than $100k or $200 a square foot for 600sf. still crazy expensive compared to what the land was sold for at around $160k for the whole lot then resold recently at $2.1 million supposedly. better question - how could a location like this be worth anything at all when there are hundreds of condos proposed for construction in la mesa on their gis website? be careful starting a business that requires foot traffic here, when m2i first started the vast majority of the businesses in that area went belly up within a few years and that was in a high traffic city location - almost no-one walks around this area. the entitled design certainly is not industrial enough for the neighborhood - makes me super sad to read about the la mesa women's club at the library while also spending $320k on a unit at m2i then learning about what they are building here / how the developer/woman's group is suing the church next door. i am a bit ashamed to have paid for one of these units from citymark in the past - m2i 506 at 1050 island ave. that was me. also of note - citymark has a habit of installing very limited finished with the expectation that owners finish the interior of the units. that can work, but you should pay appropriately. personally - i expect more from a woman's club. primarily: consideration for the longevity of the city and the architectural design which they have strong control over at this location. they definitely sold out here while beating up on the church they grew up alongside. not cool - that says something about its current members. when you have property and an opportunity to build something that develops the city you are supposed to be shepherding, but you choose to sell out like this - there's something very wrong or entirely self centered going on. this proposed citymark design also shows that the women's club does not care about fabrication or industry whatsoever (which this area is rife with), just high end residential which is not going to help the la mesa tax base. expect a glut of units in la mesa at rock bottom prices with the intent of having you drive to work on a regular basis instead of working locally (there are already huge vacancies.) also expect higher prices in this area because of fewer low dollar residences.

I researched online and their membership is way down because downtown San Diego is dead. There are way better options if you're looking for a lively place to conduct business and network. Also, if you are a person of color, you most likely work here, NOT a member. This is still clearly mostly a club for old, white, powerful men. As a diverse woman of color, I did not feel welcome. In fact, I was DISINVITED to join. In writing. Nice views but is it worth the $750 initiation fee and monthly dues of $260 and up? (It is not. Lol. I found much better alternatives at a much lower price point without a one-year contract commitment.)

We've been wanting to check out Long Play Hi-Fi for a while, and after finally finding it (which is…read morepart of the experience ).. It's got this hidden, almost speakeasy vibe. You ring the doorbell, wait patiently, and once you're inside, you realize this isn't your typical coffee shop. It's a place to slow down, enjoy the music, and savor your drink. Monique and Danica were both amazing. They're warm, welcoming, and you can really see the passion behind what they do. Danica is also the DJ, and her eclectic playlist made the whole experience even better. One of my favorite parts was just sitting there watching our drinks being made. You can see the care and craft that goes into every cup...even the Kuramoto ice is beautiful. The Matcha Americano completely changed my perception of matcha. The Kyoto cold brew pour-over was fascinating to watch and incredibly smooth. We loved it so much that we came back the very next day. This time I had the Midori, and my brother-in-law loved the Highball, especially the yuzu. No laptops. Trust the DJ. Drinks are meant to be enjoyed fresh, so take your time. If you're looking for a quick coffee run, this isn't it. But if you appreciate great coffee, good music, and people who are passionate about their craft, Long Play Hi-Fi is absolutely worth the visit.
