Hitting A Car. With Hands.
Yesterday, I was trying to make a right turn onto Coast Highway during a busy time of the afternoon.
The turn was difficult, not just because of the heavy flow of traffic but also because it was at a location where it’s tough to see if cars are coming. So I was looking to the left, [...]
No Pick Proposal
Today, I was treated to back-to-back driving pickers. One woman was picking her chin — maybe plucking a hair? and the other was picking her teeth, both while driving around in Corona del Mar.
People should realize that unless your entire car has tinted windows, that we other drivers can see you picking yourself while driving. [...]
How Hard Is It To Change a Clock?
I’m talking to you, Prudential office at Marguerite and East Coast Highway! Set that clock back, please!
Parking at Bonita Canyon Sports Park
Why is there no parking on Ford across from the Bonita Canyon Sports Park?
I really don’t get it. Families of soccer players are all fighting over limited spaces on the park side, double parking in the bike path, but if anyone dares park in the wide, empty space across the street — look out.
Today, I [...]
Merry Christmas. No Really.
Roger’s Gardens is ready for Christmas, but they always push their holiday seasons.
But this morning, I noticed Crown Ace had holiday lights in the window. And then, near Gallo’s, I saw the wooden stands being installed for what I presume will be a Christmas tree lot.
Are you ready?
Baseball, in October.
I was so disgusted with sports this year that I declared myself a sports agnostic. I didn’t believe in any of it.
But it’s very hard for a St. Louis native not to get excited when the Cardinals are in the World Series. After all, loving baseball is my birthright.
This year seems especially magical for [...]
Guest Rant by Barbara A. Peters
Irvine Cares Enough to Listen
Why did I speak at the Irvine City Council Meeting this week where they passed the Animal Welfare Ordinance? I bought my dog at Russo’s in Irvine and he had some serious hereditary medical problems. He was bred at a puppy mill in Iowa and Russo’s didn’t take responsibility. I’m not [...]
B.Candy — Creepy Cool Halloween Candy
B. Candy is a Corona del Mar Today advertiser and supporter, but that’s not why we are posting this rave.
We recently noticed the new additions on the B.Candy roof — a mean-looking candy apple, a candy corn and a Peep ghost. So we stopped in to ask about them.
“We made them,” an employee said. “Out [...]
Key to the City
Recently I inherited a lot of stuff from my parents, including their key to the city of Hattiesburg, Miss.
The story was that they were driving through the town of about 50,000 on their way to Florida, in a rush because it was a business thing involving not missing a ship. Suddenly, my dad heard [...]
Apology and Request
Dear man in the Orchid crosswalk at 7:15 this morning,
I am sorry I didn’t stop for you. I always stop for pedestrians in the crosswalk, and I know you were annoyed.
However, it was very difficult to see you until I was in the crosswalk itself. It was still a bit dark, and raining. When I [...]
Where to eat tonight...
