Daniel and Samuel Sizer bought 80 acres of land for $1.25 per acre in 1869. Adjusted for inflation, that is roughly $17.33 per acre for a present day cost of $1386.40. That land, which is what we now call La Jolla, is worth (conservatively) $1.25 million an acre. The total? $100,000,000.00.

Mount Soledad offers the most inspiring views in San Diego. The highest peak west of Cowles Mountain in the San Carlos/ La Mesa area, this La Jolla spot is one of those places in our backyard, that, even though we may drive by it on the 5 going to and from work, even drive around it from Pacific Beach to La Jolla, can often go forgotten or left alone without visiting.
Getting to the top of Mount Soledad does wonders to clear the daily stresses from our minds. Take this as a reminder to take advantage of the many natural treasures offered in our own backyard.

Surf forecast from Wetsand

New "round abouts" in installed in La Jolla Blvd in connection with the Sea Haus development project will take some time for drivers to get used to. The yield for oncoming traffic, seemingly very unnatural around these parts but fitting to the European style and image of the development have some motorists confused on who has the right of way. It will be of benefit to residents in the Sun Gold Point and Birdrock areas, most notably residents and their visitors of Sea Haus itself, to make quick U-turns, have the flow of traffic continue and make ingress and egress all together more possible. It will be interesting, however, to see if during the drivers learning curve, there aren't a rise in insurance claims...

About La Jolla

Surf is up around La Jolla Beaches! Wind conditions weren't favorable Monday morning, however, winds should taper off leaving only a light texture. Tuesday morning looks good for San Diego surfers.

"Come On In" is what they would like you to do and so the restaurant is named. Open for breakfast and lunch serving American and Carribean cuisine, "Come On In" is a great stop for meeting friends for lunch or enjoying sunshine on the patio witha magazine and Curried Chicken Sandwich.
