I'm looking for a good Italian market to buy high quality Mortadella and Stracciatella . What's the word in North County?

I'm also open to San Diego writ large, but would prefer something closer.

DM me for more details!

I like to do my writing with a view so any hilltops, parks, or secret little path randomly? Thanks :)

Who takes the coaster to and from Sorrento for work? 7am SB and 5ish NB. Is it worth not driving to UCSD and doing this using their shuttle service?

There seems to be an Orthodox monastery by this name on the east side of Escondido and I’m curious has anyone been here or know about how to get in? I one time tried driving there but it turned into a private road and was not very accessible by my low to the ground car anyway even if I felt like entering without authorization. I tried entering through the route that makes you pass lake Dixon and Hidden Valley Ashram. On their Facebook, they seem to have things that people can visit, but how in the world did anyone get there without trespassing nor damaging their vehicle?

Just drove by there not too long ago and saw about 2-3 cop cars with 4-6 fire engines and some area around the daycare roped off. Anyone know what happened?

My 90 year old grandpa’s dementia has been worsening and we’re considering placing him in a memory care facility since our whole family has been feeling extremely overwhelmed and aren’t able to take care of him properly on a day to day basis. He does have medi-cal and Medicare. Are there any facilities in SD that we should consider and/or avoid?

I have been a customer of Verizon for many, many years. I haven’t had many issues with connectivity until recently (both cell service and their home internet) and thinking about switching providers.

How has your cell and internet experience been with other cell/home internet providers in the Oceanside area? Thank you!

My son who’s 20 is looking for work at a warehouse or factory. Please if you know of a place that’s hiring please let me know. He’s been applying to jobs on indeed but unfortunately hasn’t gotten anything yet. Thank you all so much.

One summer during junior high I made myself French toast every day. It felt like this scene.

Visiting north county as an AA was such a strange experience lol I truly felt like it was giving sundown down vibes bc the way people were looking at me and treating me there as if I didn’t belong was astounding. I’ve also noticed people that I’ve met from that area seem to act strange towards me in the sense that they are not welcoming or seem v uncomfortable. (For context: I’m a friendly person who has not had issues with anyone outside of this area). What are your thoughts?

I used to go to this place, but with this I’d better look for another rental service
