Congratulations to Mrs & Mrs Bardot
Family and friends of Erika Bardot and Kerem Karpinski attended their lovely wedding yesterday at Hillcrest’s First Unitarian Universalist Church with Una Gallagher officiating.
The neighborhood couple exchanged vows in a tender ceremony that had all in attendance laughing, weeping and honored to witness their love for one another.
St. Paul’s Cathedral is praying for....
...this new development featuring two high-rise buildings that they are proposing for Park West — one at Fifth Avenue & Nutmeg Street and another at Olive. The rendition at the right is shown looking toward the southeast. The City’s Planning Department staff is opposing the project based on airport approach safety, height and design issues. The towers would sandwich the original cathedral and exceed the existing height limitation of 150 feet for this location.
The project will appear before the Uptown Planner’s Design Review Subcommittee on Monday, October 15th and the Bankers Hill/Park West Association on Wednesday, October 24th.
October gala to culminate centennial events

After the event...it will make a reverse trip along the same route to take you home. The dinner, wine, champagne toast and entertainment is only $50 (limited to 300). Buy your tickets with PayPal now or call (619) 260-1929.
Hillcrest had a lot to celebrate...
Michael (right) at Number One Fifth Avenue served faaabulous pineapple-pomegranate martinis during last night’s Toast to Hillcrest. The popular pub was one of the 33 local restaurants and bars participating in Thursday night’s Wine, Spirits & Nibbles Tour celebrating Hillcrest’s Centennial. The event was a huge hit that featured a variety of Hillcrest samplings. Ben Cartwright and Cindy Turrietta acted as hosts on the big red bus that shuttled folks from one side of Hillcrest to the other.Thanks to all the participant businesses for taking part...now, start planning for the gala dinner/dance in Balboa Park on Thursday, October 4.
WhooHooo, congratulations to Abby Schwartz, aka MC Flow, who was
honored as Best Hip Hop Artist at last night’s San Diego Music Awards.
