 “I sit down to go to the bathroom, and you said our feet bumped. I believe they did ... because I reached down and scooted over and the next thing I knew, under the bathroom divider comes a card that says police.”

Ice Cream social at Mission Hills Library

The communities of Mission Hills and Hillcrest celebrated their neighborly bonds at an ice cream block party courtesy of Dreyer’s Ice Cream yesterday from 10:30am-12:30pm. Neighbor Carol Moseley (in the green top and topper with the two clowns at the right) was among 1,500 winners nationally who wrote to Dreyer’s to tell why her neighborhood deserved a Slow Churned Neighborhood Salute.

Thanks, Carol!!

Nicole Murray Ramirez & big Mike at protest for Pete Wilson statue at Horton Plaza, Saturday, August 25, 2007

Latinos & Gay Community Protest

A statue of Pete Wilson was unveiled Saturday afternoon at Horton Square as hundreds of demonstrators voiced their opposition to the former San Diego mayor (1971-1983). Activists say downtown’s Walk of Fame will now become the city’s Walk of Shame.
(There’s Nicole and Big Mike!) >
Politicos in attendance for the celebration were in fine form. Another former San Diego mayor, now right-wing radio talk show host Roger Hedgecock gave the one finger salute to the protesters, and honoree Pete Wilson called the demonstrators horses asses!
