MEDIA MEMOS
Checking in with San
Diego’s alternative news sources.
HIGH FLYING BREW.
Breweries
in town and regionally are opening up faster than some zoning codes can
accommodate them. Case in point is a
story by Voice of San Diego’s Andrew
Keatts, who used Ballast Point Brewing’s new India Street location as an
example of zoning “issues” au jour.

LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL.
State
Assembly speaker Toni Atkins, San Diego and erstwhile North Parker, just won an
all for charity sushi making contest in Sacramento. Her California Roll wowed the judges. Time
for a local restaurant to parlay this into an sushi making event with Toni, who
when she was District 3 councilperson worked hard to improve the quality of
life in North Park and the City. Link
to Toni’s reaction to winning her Sushi competition:

DARK MONEY.
In
an investigative piece which aired on KPBS
on July 19 Brooke Williams, inewsource
and Claire Trageser, KPBS penned “...Election law experts say Carl DeMaio is
walking a blurry line by leading a tax-exempt political advocacy group while
running for Congress...” For the
complete article:
The
reason it is posted here is because the article highlights how dark money
(anonymous, unlimited funds) go to local level candidates for better or worse.

BOB REPORT.
North
Park based City Beat delivered its take on how well Mayor Bob Filner is
doing in office. Seems to be the biggest
story going and the hardest to keep balanced.
Thought Nik Wallenda had a tough job being balanced—not compared with
Filner coverage locally. But, City Beat came through.

PARTY SEASON.
Speaking
of alternative news voices, The San Diego Free Press recently held
its one year anniversary potluck at Golden Hill Park. If you didn’t get an invite, no worries
either did we, but SDFP did post party pix of its birthday bash. I would have brought my killer guacamole
dip.
