“QUOTE, UNQUOTE.”
"I had a great time listening to my constituents this afternoon [Saturday, May 18] at the North Park Festival of the Arts.  Congratulations to North Park Main Street and our small businesses on another successful event that highlights why this is such an exciting neighborhood."
--Todd Gloria, President San Diego City Council, District 3.

"Success may not come quickly or easily. But if you strive to do what’s right, if you work harder and dream bigger, if you set an example in your own lives and do your part to help meet the challenges of our time, then I’m confident that, together, we will continue the never-ending task of perfecting our union."

“Sometimes it takes dining alone in another city and watching families and friends go about their own lives to realize what you have, what were all about . I'm thankful for being able to the time to be in New York and watching the city as I attempt to absorb and be a part of it. Life is about interactions with others and our surroundings and to enjoy the moment, as tomorrow is another day.”
--Tim Jackson, owner Urban Lighting


TOP OF THE TANK.
Friday, Councilmember Todd Gloria and State Assembly Majority Leader Toni Atkins were on hand to celebrate with local historians as it was announced that our beloved North Park Water Tower was officially recognized as a historic site.

Over the years, Jim Brady, one of our city’s top freelance architecture and design photographers, has grown accustomed to the water tower.  If you link with his site you’ll be treated to a portfolio of Jim’s water tower images.
