Question: The fact
that the Iraq Survey Group has now folded up its field
operations, can you explain to us if there is any sense of
embarrassment or lack of comfort about the fact that after two years of
looking, these people found nothing that the President and others
assured us they would find?Bring ’em on...Over $40 million may be spent on parades, parties and pyrotechnics for next Thursday’s inaugural events for GW.

 Education spending would rise by $2.9 billion under Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s spending plan for the 2005-06 fiscal year, which covers a growing student population and a cost-of-living adjustment, but little more. Da governor says, “Sacramento doesn’t have a revenue problem. It has a spending problem.” Oh, and term limits are a problem, too. |

The Original French
Laundry, built in 1927, was located on the north
side of University Avenue at 10th Street (now Uptown District). But
wasn’t really the “original.” The French Laundry
was first established downtown in 1886. The
owners must have felt flush with their expansion when
hiring Frank
P. Allen, Jr.,
an architect of finest San Diego pedigree who more routinely
designed exposition
halls,
banks
and fine
hotels
(including the Park
Manor). This stately Mediterranean Revival building was erected in
Hillcrest at a cost of $150,000. The facade
featured decorative wrought iron while
the interior was designed to accommodate the latest modern washing
machines. Allen received an award for the building in
1933 from the American Institute of Architects citing the
“praise-worthy collaboration
of owner and architect to give decorative front to a useful interior.”
The
building had a nearby streetcar
stop and an
expanding
local neighborhood.
