LaJolla: the Beverly Hills of San Diego by Cary Ordway
If “enchanting seaside village” is a cliché, then the very first time it was used had to be while describing the Southern California jewel of La Jolla. We remember precisely La Jolla coastline view our first impression of the panoramic ocean views, swaying palm trees and hillside mansions — it’s Hawaii without the five-hour flight.
This was decades ago and we had just returned from our first real long-distance travel experience — an unforgettable, eye-opening journey to Hawaii that exposed a couple of soggy Pacific Northwest college students to bright sunshine and warm saltwater that we never even knew existed. The very next month we were taking a Southern California vacation when we came upon La Jolla and it was, as Yogi would say, déjá vu all over again.
To be sure, the water in Southern California was prettier than it was warm. And there weren’t too many native Hawaiians — although Hawaii doesn’t seem to have many either. WHAT La Jolla did have was the views and that bright sunshine, and we were determined that someday we would come back and live there.
We did eventually live and work there, if only for a brief time, and this special coastal haven delivered on all its promises. The “Village,” as the locals call Girard Avenue and the community surrounding it, is a gourmet blend of those spices that make life so enjoyable — fine dining, world-class shopping, countless outdoor activities, surf, sand, incredible views and, of course, almost-constant sunshine.
Nowadays, the local home values have priced out the average mortal and, if you’re living there, you’ve either done very well for yourself or had the good fortune to grow up in a family that bought local real estate back when local land prices were reasonable — probably sometime just after statehood. But there are two groups of people who are living in the Village temporarily: the renters and the tourists. The renters plunk down several thousand each month for the barest of digs; the tourists stay only briefly but much more economically.
Which is why it’s great to be a tourist in La Jolla. With a choice of several tasteful hotels and spa resorts — and, yes, some are quite reasonably priced — visitors can pretend they’re living the lifestyle for a few days and still go home with money in their pockets.
It all begins with watching the people parade down on Gerard Avenue. Plan to have a gourmet sandwich down at one of several cafes and then plop yourself at an outside table. Leading the parade is a 20-something bombshell dressed in a spaghetti-strapped halter and capris, dragging along a five-inch poodle that is decidedly disinterested in being part of this parade. Next up: a 30-something clean-cut guy wearing lumberjack boots up to his ankles, his pants squished into the boot tops, and his long-sleeve shirt well down over his belt buckle. It must be new La Jolla fashion because his stylish 20-something model-like girlfriend doesn’t seem the least bit embarrassed to walk beside him. Then along comes two 30-something men, dressed almost identically in turtlenecks, expensive sports jackets and shades, surely sweltering in the mid-day sun but cool in their own minds. And on it goes all during lunch, making it almost worth the nine bucks it cost for the sandwich.
You might even see celebrities in this neck of the woods. We came upon Geena Davis and her kids one time, while beautiful people such as Cindy Crawford have actually bought houses in the Village. Barbra Streisand is said to have bought her wedding ring down at Bowers Jewelers. Movie and TV filming are common and the longtime series Silk Stalkings used the local scenery quite often to depict the glitzy glamour of Southern California.
Walk down Gerard just a little ways and there seems to be plenty of temptation to bring out your credit card. There are specialty stores like Rangoni shoes, art galleries like Cosmopolitan Fine Art and Images of Nature, and then more typical “mall” stores like Banana Republic and the Gap. Side streets have their own offerings, many of them related to health, fitness and well-being — even if you need a little plastic surgery to be well.
Gerard is one of two main streets in the Village. Also famous for its shopping is Prospect Avenue which also has lots of trendy boutiques and popular eateries. Check out George’s for spectacular views of the ocean and award-winning cuisine. Brockton Villa’s another one just off Prospect that seems a perennial favorite. A Caesar salad on the outdoor deck at Moondoggie’s can be a refreshing and relatively inexpensive pause as the breezes from the shoreline find their way to this part of the shopping district. Just footsteps from Scripps Park are such outdoor cafes as Cody’s, the French Side of the West and Fay’s Gourmet Seafood.
Scripps Park is, in fact, just a block down from the main shopping district, and yet is anything but commercial. You might find an ecology tee-shirt stand but mostly it’s green lawn and meandering walkways that entice friends, lovers and families to stroll along one of the most picturesque shorelines in all of California. The shoreline is jagged and rocky in places while at the same time offering up just enough beach to lay out your beach towels in some privacy. Stroll about 10 minutes south and you’ll find La Jolla Cove where you can watch the local seals sun themselves on a scenic beach.
Skirting the east edge of Scripps Park is a scenic roadway that is often used as a bike route between La Jolla and the more touristy beach town of Pacific Beach. The ride takes you through beautiful neighborhoods — never far away from ocean views — and through the fascinating town of Birdrock. It, too, is artsy and trendy but maybe down a notch in price.
A short drive north is the La Jolla Shores, a one-mile long beach and boardwalk that is ideal for walking, jogging, picnicking or just suntanning on the wide beach. Nearby are the expensive homes of the La Jolla Shores area as well as a few hotels and a tiny shopping district.
Nearby is a marine preserve so it’s common to see divers preparing for their scuba sessions out in the deep. If you don’t scuba, you’ll find other ways to get close to the ocean such as paddling a kayak in an area near what is known as the La Jolla Caves. Or you can actually climb down in the caves by visiting the La Jolla Cave and Shell Shop, where there is a 145-step walkway to the Sunny Jim Cave, the largest of these grottoes.
Another seaside favorite is the Birch Aquarium, a popular place to take families for an up-close look at sea life such as coral reefs, tide pools and even sharks. The Aquarium has a 70,000-gallon tank in which many sea creatures are on display.
If you simply want to drive around the area, the spectacular homes make it worthwhile. One especially rewarding drive is to head up Nautilus Street to the highest elevations in town where the Mt. Soledad Memorial Cross is dedicated to veterans of the two world wars and the Korean War. While there has been a political tug-of-war about whether the cross will remain, the views from this part of La Jolla offer one of the best ways to see the topography of the entire San Diego area.
AT A GLANCE
WHERE: La Jolla has often been called “the Beverly Hills” of San Diego and is located about a 15-minute drive north from downtown. Several of the best San Diego hotels are located here, so this is an excellent base of operations for a Southern California vacation.
WHAT: A seaside village that offers some of the best shopping, restaurants and ocean views of the entire San Diego area. Spa vacations are big here, and there is a good selection of spa resorts and facilities in the area.
WHEN: Year-round. Always keep an eye out for travel deal, and travel packages at San Diego hotels are more plentiful during slower times of the year.
WHY: La Jolla’s quiet village atmosphere and breathtaking views make it an especially enjoyable place to vacation — or even retire if one could afford it.

Excerpt: Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy is a 2004 American comedy film , directed by Adam McKay and starring Will Ferrell . The film, which was also written by Ferrell and McKay, is a tongue-in-cheek take on the culture of the 1970s, particularly the then-new Action News format. It portrays a San Diego TV station where Ferrell’s title character clashes with his new female counterpart (Christina Applegate ). This film is number 100 on Bravo ‘s 100 funniest movies, and 113 on Empire’s 500 Greatest Movies of All Time . The film made $28.4 million in its opening weekend, and $89.3 million worldwide in its total theatrical run. A companion film assembled from outtakes and abandoned subplots, titled Wake Up, Ron Burgundy: The Lost Movie , was released straight-to-DVD in late 2004. In May 2008, it was confirmed that a sequel to Anchorman is in the planning stages. Plot In 1970s San Diego, Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell ) is the anchorman for KVWN-TV Channel 4 Evening News. He works alongside his friends and news team, lead field reporter and fashion oriented Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd ), sportscaster Champion “Champ” Kind (David Koechner ), and chief meteorologist the mildly retarded Brick Tamland (Steve Carell ). After a successful day of work, the team is notified by their boss, Ed Harken (Fred Willard ), that their station has again maintained its long-held status as the highest-rated news program in town, leading them to throw a wild party . The next day, Ed informs the team that he is has |

He finished his pre-university studies in San Sebastián . He then began university studies on Law , where he began to work with university school groups. He left university to work in the theater.After working as a dubbing actor for a short time in the 1950s, he debuted with his first considerable role in film in José María Forqué ‘s ‘Atraco a las tres’ in 1962.When Francisco Franco died in 1975, censorship began to disappear. This led to a growth of erotic comedies on Spanish cinema. Landa became the “sexually repressed” role of that trend, especially under directors Mariano Ozores and Pedro Lazaga . He even created his own trend, that some people called landismo .Afterwards, Landa changed his image, taking much deeper roles, like his bandit in El Bosque Animado.Landa, together with Francisco Rabal , won Best Actor award at 1984 Cannes Film Festival by his memorable performance in Los santos inocentes .He is now widely recognized as a great dramatic actor.After a career with more than one hundred and twenty movies, one dozen of TV series, and several stage successes, with a great amount of Spanish and European awards, 74-year-old Landa announced his retirement at the X Festival de Cine de Málaga (10th Movie Festival of |

Colma-Musical $19.98 Ever been to Colma? It’s that little town right next to San Francisco. No? Well, its claim to fame is that the dead outnumber the living 1500 to 1 (cause of its cemeteries, don’t get any crazy ideas). But it’s really just like any other sleepy town that rests in the shadow of a huge progressive city – New York’s got New Jersey, Philly’s got Cherry Hill, San Francisco’s got Colma, the list goes on and on. And in these towns, there are kids, and one day, these kids must grow up – or at least start to.Best pals Rodel, Billy, and Maribel live in Colma and they love it! (not really). After graduating from high school the trio finds themselves in a state of limbo; fresh out of high school, they are just beginning to explore a new unstructured world. Like most kids, they are on the brink of self-discovery, but aren’t in much of a rush. What is the rush, anyway? They are having too much fun doing nothing or crashing college parties. But when newfound revelations and romances challenge their relationships with one another and their parents, the trio must assess what to hold onto, and how to best follow their dreams.Oh, there’s one more thing – they sing. Colma: The Musical boasts 13 musical numbers featuring all original music by H.P. Mendoza and is Richard Wong’s feature directorial debut. It has been awarded the Special Jury Prize at the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival, Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival and San Diego Asian Film Festival. It was honored with nominations for the Gotham Award ( Best Film Not in a Theater Near You ) and the Independent Spirit Award ( Someone to Watch Award ). |

Flying down to Rio: Hollywood, Tourists, and Yankee Clippers $24.95 In this book, author Rosalie Schwartz uses the 1933 RKO-Radio Pictures production Flying Down to Rio to examine the interplay of technology and popular culture that shaped a distinctive twentieth-century sensibility. The musical comedy connected airplanes, movies, and tourism, ending spectacularly with chorus girls dancing on the wings of airplanes high above Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.The Hollywood fantasy capped three decades during which airplanes and movies engendered new expectations and redefined people’s sense of well-being, their personal satisfactions, and their interpersonal relations. Wilbur and Orville Wright flew their airplane in 1903, at the same time that filmmakers began to project edited, filmed stories onto large screens. Spectators found entertainment value in both airplane competitions and motion pictures, and movie producers brought the thrill of aviators’ antics to a rapidly expanding audience. Meanwhile, air shows and competitions attracted large crowds of tourists. Mass tourism grew as a leisure-time activity, stimulated in part by travelogues and feature films. By 1930, the businessmen who envisioned transporting tourists to their destinations by airplane struggled to overcome the movie-exaggerated association of flight with danger.Schwartz weaves these threads into a story of human daring and persistence, political intrigue, and international competition. From Wilbur and Orville to Fred and Ginger, Schwartz’s narrative follows the fortunes of aviation and movie pioneers and the foundations and growth of Pan American Airways and RKO-Radio Pictures, the two companies that came together in Flying Down to Rio.By the end of the twentiethcentury, aviation, movies, and mass tourism had become powerful global industries, contributing to an internationally connected, entertainment-oriented culture. What was once unthinkable had now become expected.About the Author:ROSALIE SCHWARTZ lives and writes in San Diego, |

People From Gainesville, Texas: Charlie Paddock, Frank Buck, Gene Austin, Chuck Curtis, Kevin Mathis $8.78 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: This article is about Frank Buck, whose philosophy of hunting wild animals was to “bring ‘em back alive”. For other people with the same name, see Frank Buck. Frank Howard Buck (March 17, 1884 March 25, 1950) was a hunter and “collector of wild animals,” as well as a movie actor, director, writer and producer. He is probably most famous for his book Bring ‘Em Back Alive and his 1930s and 40s jungle adventure movies including: Wild Cargo, Jungle Cavalcade, Jacare, Killer of the Amazon, many of which included staged “fights to the death” between formidable beasts. Frank Buck (right) and Edward Anthony with their book Wild Cargo ca 1932.Born in Gainesville, Texas, Buck grew up in Dallas and excelled in geography, at the cost of “utter failure on all the other subjects of that limited Dallas curriculum.” While still a child, Buck began collecting birds and small animals, and tried his hand at farming before getting a job as a cowpuncher. Accompanying a cattlecar to the Chicago stockyards, he refused to take the trip back to Texas, and spent the rest of his days supporting himself on various jobs while seeking adventure. In 1911, he won $3,500 in a poker game and decided to go overseas for the first time, leaving his wife and setting out for Brazil. Bringing back exotic birds to New York, he was surprised by the amount of his profits. Trips to Singapore followed, and he traveled the world for 18 years, until the stock market crash of 1929 left him penniless. However, friends lent him $6,000 and soon he was back to his profitable work. Frank Buck went to work as temporary director for the San Diego Zoo on June 13, 1923, signed to a three year contract by Dr. Harry M. Wegeforth, the zoo’s founder. Dr. William T. Hornaday, director of the Bronx Zoo,… More: |

Simon and Simon Season 2 $49.99 Simon & Simon is classic ’80s television — the action series followed another classic, Magnum P.I., in the Thursday-night lineup.Airing from 1981 to 1989, the show followed the Simon brothers as they ran a detective agency in San Diego, California. Despite coming from the same family, Rick (Gerald McRaney, Jericho) and A.J. (Jameson Parker, JAG) Simon were complete opposites. Older brother Rick was a scruffy Vietnam veteran Marine, laid-back with street smarts and an aversion to rules, while A.J. (short for Andrew Jackson ) was a slick, book-smart college graduate who was ambitious and sophisticated.Season Two (the show’s first full season) opens with the brothers working on a case that puts them in contact with Thomas Magnum (Tom Selleck) in a cross-over episode of Magnum P.I. (included in this set). From there Rick and A.J. tangle with psychics, investigate mysterious dolphin killings, tackle pro football, go to Vegas, almost go broke, fall in love and solve all their cases.After a shaky first season, Simon & Simon hit its stride in Season Two, landing in first place in the ratings for the opening episode and staying comfortably near the top thereafter. The Simon brothers may have mixed like oil and water, but for the show’s fans they were a match made in heaven.This six disc collection includes all 23 episodes from Season Two of Simon & Simon! |
