OPINION
 Fear
generated
by the
current
economic
downturn is
uglifying
Del Mar’s
downtown.
The bulky
new sidewalk
cafés
on 15th
Street are
egregious
examples
of such
fear-based
planning.

After
37 years in
downtown Del
Mar, the
Hair Nursery’s “lady
barber in the
window” is
moving to Solana
Beach. Unable
to find a suitable
space to rent
in Del Mar,
Faris set up
her barber’s
chair at 216
Cedros Ave.,
across from
the Belly Up,
as of June 1.
The new name
is Cedros Hair
Design, Cuts
for Men. more>>

Parking
in Downtown Del
Mar comes
with challenges
and a high price – from
repeatedly circling
around town in
search of the
elusive parking
space, to finally
being penalized
with an unfair
fine for barely
going over an
ever-changing
time limit while
rushing your lunch
hour. |

A
Letter
to the Editor
from Al Tarkington,
former
Mayor of
the City
formerly
known as
Del Mar.
Del
Mar officials
initially
scoffed at
the naming
rights idea,
but with
the current
economic
crisis and
the red ink
at City Hall,
they have
given it
more thought. more>> |

With
a
sharply
reduced
water
supply,
tomatoes
and eggplant,
peppers
and
basil
must
somehow
compete
with the
demands
of laundry,
bathing
and dishwashing.
