Thousands attend candlelight vigil on University Avenue

Candlelight vigil for No on Prop 8U-T estimated only 3K, but KNSD thought 6,000 people took to the streets of Hillcrest last night urging citizens to vote no on Proposition 8. Thanks to everyone for standing united in this historic moment as signs and candles filled the community. San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders led the charge. There was a time the mayor was for a same sex marriage ban, but he has switched positions after publicly announcing his daughter is a lesbian. The candlelight vigil brought awareness to the fight against this proposition. With only a few days left before Election Day, we invite all of our supporters to work a little harder to defeat Proposition 8 this coming Tuesday.

Candlewax left after the No on 8 candlelight vigil

Eeek…Last night’s candlelight vigil left behind a big mess. Check out this photo of a city trash container covered with wax. Signs, balloons, candles and waxy city trash cans add to the mess. Also, trash along sidewalks and street gutters still remain from Friday’s Nightmare on Normal Street. Hillcrest needs some TLC. Anyone want to help clean up the community? The Center’s attempt to get their cleaners back after their Halloween party has been (so far) unsuccessful. According to neighbors…the litter, including the tell-tale red cups and the green wrist bands still remain in gutters and drains. With the coming rains, much of this trash will be washed out to sea. What to do?
