La Jolla-based Interactive Photography (intphoto.com) has become one of the country’s leading providers of photo entertainment services for special events and conventions. A typical week for the company might include a special event somewhere between La Jolla and Los Angeles, while other weeks might involve traveling to events across the country.

I don’t think there is a parent out there who wouldn’t agree that if there’s a good teacher-child fit, the school year flies by. A bad fit and it’s a long year indeed. I should probably interject that there might not be anything wrong with the teacher other than she doesn’t like your kid. As hard as it is to accept, your child may be a total pain.

The U.S. Surgeon General told Americans last week that walking is one of the keys to health. An average of 22 minutes of daily moderate physical activity — roughly about 2.5 hours a week — could significantly reduce your risk of heart disease and diabetes, he said. Regular physical activity also can reduce symptoms of depression and mental illness.
A fun way to start might be the 24th annual American Heart Association Heart & Stroke Walk 7 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 19 in Balboa Park. The event inspires participants to embrace a renewed commitment to heart-healthy living through walking and other healthful habits while hoping to raise more than $1 million to invest in research to discover new ways to treat and prevent cardiovascular disease and stroke.
The non-competitive 4.1-mile route features teams of employees from local companies as well as community teams. Friends and family members of all ages are invited to join. Heart disease and stroke survivors will receive special survivor caps to distinguish them from the rest of the pack. There will also be a special one-mile course for survivors.
Participants are invited to stick around for the expo afterward to sample Subway sandwiches, healthy snacks, entertainment and other wellness booths and activities, including free health screenings provided by UC San Diego Health.

I’ve lived in La Jolla Shores for about two years. Since I have moved here, there have been two serious car accidents involving pedestrians in the area. Still, some entity has installed what appears to be an unmarked (for vehicles) crosswalk at the entrance to the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. Also, the new signage at the beach has very pointed corners just waiting for some poor child to run into and be

It’s been some time since I’ve shared my opinion on what is happening commercially in the Village. I’m continually asked why there is so much retail vacancy in La Jolla, which seems to be a recurring theme the past few years. Hopefully, the vacancy trend may be coming to an end. Our current tenant map contains less retail leasing opportunities than previous maps, with a number of the “empties” to be occupied within the next 90 days.

In the 1890s, Anne Banning and Ada Laughlin were high-society friends in Los Angeles. Banning was married to Hancock Banning, son of Los Angeles businessman Phineas Banning, known as The Father of the Port of Los Angeles. Laughlin met and married Homer Laughlin Jr. at Stanford University. He was the son of the founder of the Homer Laughlin China Company, which later created America’s favorite dinnerware, FIESTA.

It was a Wednesday evening in August, at an hour when most small American cities had gone quiet, but in the buzzy Jewel-by-the-Sea town, there was a flutist playing his heart out on Prospect Street.
