Good News for Car-less Visitors to La Jolla
So you’re going to stay in downtown San Diego, but want to visit La Jolla? Until now, I’d have said “take the #30 bus,” but recently Tour Guide Tim began offering another option and it’s good news for car-less visitors to La Jolla. His guided coach tours leave from the Santa Fe train station on […]
La Jolla Playhouse
For many travelers, San Diego means beaches, the Zoo, and Sea World, but as I said in “Debunking Myths About La Jolla,” our significant cultural advantages are less known. This was underscored Sunday night when “Memphis” won the Tony Award for “Best Musical.” The show’s director Christopher Ashley is also the Artistic Director of La […]
Update on Sorella della Taverna
I wrote about La Taverna and its sister property Sorella della Taverna in August 2008. The former is a cute little Italian bistro on a side street in the village. Sorella is a gourmet deli that provides take-away meals and delicious picnic fare. I’m happy to report that both businesses are still going strong, and […]
Buick Goes Bye-Bye
The golf tournament formerly known as the “Buick Invitational” will take place at Torrey Pines Golf Course as planned from January 25-31, 2010, but for now it’s “The Century Club of San Diego Invitational.” Members of the club are still looking for a major sponsor.

In Search of the Best Beach
Even though I live here, La Jolla’s beautiful beaches still take my breath away. To best sure you see the most scenic viewpoints, follow this route: Starting at the south end of La Jolla – at La Jolla Boulevard and La Cañada Street – take La Cañada towards the ocean. You’ll have a good view […]
La Jolla Shores vs. “the Village”
In addition to dispensing La Jolla travel information via this blog, I also answer questions on TripAdvisor’s La Jolla Forum. It’s recently become apparent on this site that many visitors aren’t aware that what we locals call “the village” is not the same place as “the Shores.” La Jolla Shores vs. “the Village”…. The village […]
Getting Married in La Jolla
These days, about 20% of all marriage ceremonies take place away from the hometown of the bride or the groom. Given our great weather and beautiful backdrops, it’s no wonder that lots of couples are getting married in La Jolla. It’s posssible to have your ceremony in a public park, on the beach, or in a […]
La Jolla Festival of the Arts – June 20-21
I just realized that in my last post I included the La Jolla Festival of the Arts in the Calendar of Events, but I didn’t point out that it’s this weekend – June 20-21 from 9am to 5pm. More than 200 artists will be exhibiting their work. Live music and a food court will add […]
An Annual Calendar of La Jolla Events
An Annual Calendar of La Jolla Events and Weather Information. When planning a trip to San Diego’s favorite coastal community – or anywhere else – it’s important to be aware of seasonal weather changes. Our region is known for its mild climate, but that doesn’t mean you can comfortably wear a swimsuit on the beach in November. It’s also good […]
