En route to Normal Heights with commentary

It looks like all the crying and screaming by the South Park denizens did  not prevent Target Express from taking over the old Gala Foods

I wonder what it's like inside...

Scenes from Golden Hill + lunch @ Pizzeria Luigi & pastries from Panchita's

This nice sidewalk emblem can be found on the southeast corner of 25th and Broadway...

in front of the Golden Hill Fire Department, with it's fabulous art deco style building.  Sufficiently caffeinated by our drinks from the newest location of Dark Horse Coffee...we made our way north on 25th for lunch...

passing by lovely historic homes such as this...

Dark Horse Coffee, Golden Hill

The view of the mixed use You Are Here complex directly on the 25th St. offramp from the 94...

As seen on the 25th Street Bridge after we checked out the "hidden but in plain view" Crab Carillon....

At the bottom of the building is San Diego's third location of Dark Horse Coffee...

Playing the Crab Carillon on the 25th Street Bridge

This rather inocuous bridge from above is one you might have driven under many times while on the 94...

Atop the bridge on the western pedestrian walkway is a piece of interactive public art...

Our anti black Friday morning - MLK Mural on the 94 & painted stairs in Golden Hill

Under dramatic cloud cover we ventured off into the late morning...

on this so-called Black Friday...

but instead of acting like crazed materialist consumers at the malls, we did our own Anti Black Friday thing...

Thanksgiving 2015

It's time to give thanks....

(banner seen at one of the houses on Mt. Nebo near the La Mesa Secret Stairs)

for all that we've been fortunate to enjoy this past year...

Almond Kringles are back...

Hey now...

Remember these?

Supernatural Sandwiches

My first day of my weeklong Thanksgiving Break was spent up in Mira Mesa...

where TC and I met up with Mary for lunch at Supernatural. Sandwiches.

Heartsleeves Coffee (formerly Mad Fix)

Sunny and warm in November?

We'll take it...it beats freezing our @$$es off eh!

Our morning was spent checking out the newest coffee place in Little Italy...

Fried pies from McD's

Earlier this morning we had some time to kill before mass while TC did her volunteer service. I had a craving for a hash brown but when I saw this sign (see below)...

we just had to...

Taco Bell, La Bodega and the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club

All right...

I did a drive thru (hangs head in shame)...
