Not a diner, but Tony Hawk's fried chicken sandwich shop in Encinitas is 90s themed
lmao that bi flag was immediately taken down and put back in storage. They said it's Monday, Pride is over!
I love to ride the Pride parade route before it re-opens to car traffic. University is usually such a stressful street and this is the only chance we get all year to cruise it freely 🌈
Obsessed with my Golden Hill neighbor pulling the big bi flag out just for Pride weekend
Biking is hands down the best way to get to SD Pride this weekend. No traffic, no waiting in shuttle lines, no surge pricing. Plus parking is super easy and free with @bikesd.bsky.social!
Real ones just call this another Saturday night on the 2 but hey I'm glad the party bus is getting noticed
Lithium Valley is an industrial development program planning for much higher-impact geothermal plants, mineral extraction and manufacturing. If we can't build these in a heavy industrial zone, where can we build them
Man this is so lame. I thought the amphitheatre was a nice use of the space but I guess they're settling on a patch of artificial turf
Video of the blue Prius driver flying through the roundabout and crashing into Trieu Chau Restaurant shows how compromising the roundabout design for emergency vehicles made it pretty ineffective in slowing dangerous drivers
As @alfredtwu.com says, what you really want is some ornamentation. A little color, tile, decorative details can make simple design beautiful and beloved.
Tough loss, but one thing about Mexicans is we're gonna be proud and light off fireworks no matter what
Rosalía just shows you the Spanish are still at it, still out touring the new world trying to convert us to Catholicism through enchanting music and sacred iconography
Bus to trolley to another bus wasn't as bad as I thought and I do kinda love riding transit looking like this lol
And I want to stop seeing annoying ass content from my friends & acquaintances that don't know enough about housing and share anything from PSL & DSA lol
It's so frustrating that these Reels are alleging out of control development in Oceanside, a city that is currently trying to brazenly exempt itself from SB 79 and cap downtown development altogether cal.streetsblog.org/2026/06/29/s...
A friend I've been reconnecting with appears to be falling into left-nimbyism. He shared this reel defending an auto repair shop owner who believes gentrification is going to push him out of the neighborhood and the whole video feels like it was created in a lab to make me go insane
We got buried worse than anyone expected. The bus broke down before we got out of downtown and everyone had to get off and catch the next 215 on the schedule
This is why I have a hard time honoring community specific plan that the CPG treats like the damn Bible
It's hard to be a norteño fan if you don't like big dumb trucks, but I persevere
