![]() What do you think of Hillcrest’s newest website? Welcome to the next chapter of HillQuest. After four years we’ll miss that old site, but the time had come for upgrades...and what a transition it has been! The project began last spring with a goal to make the site easier for you to navigate while allowing for our continuing growth. We sure hope you like it. Check out the new goodies around the site, and see what you think. We had over 800 visiting computers on our first day. Please send us your suggestions for making it better. |

According to local
cannabis activist
Barbara MacKenzie, “Chairman
Bill Horn’s comments show we have an opportunity to educate.” Yesterday’s SD County Board of Supervisors discussed medical marijuana where nine proponents spoke both at the beginning and end of their meeting. KUSI’s Sasha Foo was the only television reporter who covered it. |

Chargers
have been unable to qualify stadium plan for ballot — so
they blame
City Attorney Mike Aguirre. “We must decide whether it makes sense to continue to pursue this tremendously difficult project in light of the City’s gigantic political and financial crisis and with Mike Aguirre throwing up one hurdle after another.” Go Chargers — and
take the Padres with you!

![]() The Greater San Diego Business Association has begun distributing its 2006 directory — the largest ever, featuring 600 business listings, 300 display ads and more full-color pages compared to last year’s book. With 30,000 copies recently printed, this year’s publication features a new velvet matte paper and carries a slimmer look and feel, notes Joyce Marieb, executive director of the GSDBA. Its multi-image cover was created by Alternative Strategies. “The GSDBA Directory has come to be recognized as the definitive resource for community businesses,” adds Marieb. The Directory will be distributed by mail to GSDBA members and made available throughout the year at more than 100 distribution points that include community businesses and public events. Members and guests may also pick up copies of the new book at GSDBA’s upcoming mixer on Thursday, January 19, in the rooftop party room at the Park Manor Hotel. |
