Please help my friend Rebecca Garcia with her Urban Planning grad school project on Chicano Park by checking out her Flickr group and leaving a few insightful comments and notes on her photographs and videos.

Our garage door bit the dust last night, and now we're in need of a new one. Does anyone know of a good company with reasonable prices around here (I'm in Encanto)? There are so many companies in SD, but very few online reviews. I know it's going to cost quite a bit to fix, but I'd rather not get overcharged if I can help it or get stuck with a ( Read more... )

Arrrrgh. I just got a speeding ticket. 80 in a 65. Any idea what the fine will be? Do I really just wait to get something in the mail? Any chance I can get everyone I know to submit letters on my behalf letting the Powers That Be know I am seriously the most annoying grandma-slow driver in the world, habitually honked at and flipped off for ( Read more... )

My car hood looks like it has leprosy. The dealer wouldn't take responsibility and blamed the clear coat people, the clear coat people blamed the manufacturer's paint, and eight months later I have no warranty coverage on the paint any longer ( Read more... )

Is there a place (charity) in this town that would have use for old VHS tapes? I thought maybe a library that loans movies or shelter with a TV room, but maybe no one uses VHS anymore. We have a bunch of movies (many Hitchcock classics and Disney cartoons with some popular 90's flicks mixed in) I still like, but it is not worth the effort to try to ( Read more... )
