G. Just Hair has moved into a cute
rehabed craftsman cottage at 3853 Eighth Avenue
bringing her clients to Hillcrest from Mission Valley and downtown. This cozy little sidestreet salon across the street
from Bank of America is a great addition to the neighborhood.

It took 66 years but the
neighborhood
bar at the corner of Richmond and University has finally gotten around
to adding their windows. Established in 1938, the Alibi’s signage has
boasted that they are “the best kept secret in town.” Now that people
can look in, what secrets will be revealed from behind their maroon
leatherette-padded door?
It will be a perfect place to sip cocktails and view this year’s GLBT Pride Parade.

Steve Sopha & Thomas Osborne
(both Century 21 men) took a break
from San Diego’s hot real estate market
yesterday at the Hillcrest Sandwich Company.
We all agree...their cashew curry chicken is
devine whether on a sandwich or salad greens.

Aussie
Rector now calls Hillcrest “home”
Welcome to Father Tony Noble, the Rector at All Saints’ Episcopal Church who is marking his seventh month anniversary. We’re glad to announce a new notice-board bearing his name (along with new service times!) went up this week! Father Tony came from a similar area in Australia — Fitzroy, an inner-suburb of Melbourne much like our own Hillcrest. Father Tony, center in the photo to the left, said that he has settled in well and feels at home. All Saints’ held successful services over Easter with better attendances than many years, including a packed church for the Easter High Mass. It was typical of the Anglocatholic liturgy and music for which All Saints’ is well known, followed by a first — an Easter chocolate party! What a marvelous way for those giving up chocolate for Lent to celebrate the Resurrection!
