Today Is September 16th — Happy Mexican Independence Day!
by Fleur De Lys September 16th is that time of year when all Mexicans from around the world are celebrating Mexican Independence Day. On September 1810 Mexico began a 10-year war for independence with Spain and since the country gained its independence, things came a long way but violence is still too high. …
The traditional shout-out in Mexico for Mexican Independence Day is “Viva Mexico!” After the 1910 revolution that toppled dictator Porfirio Diaz, Mexicans were free to live in their own country, to have their own government and be able to shout out loud (or gritar) “Viva Mexico!”
San Diego City Council Set to Recognize New Uptown Planning Group Despite Its Failure to Comply With Election Rules
By Mat Wahlstrom
This Tuesday, September 17, at 10:00, the City Council — the nine electeds who are each paid over six figures of your tax dollars — will once again be asked to take time from more important decisions to clean up another mess created by our six-figure paid city employees.
On the agenda is to legalize after the fact the violation of the terms of its decision to disestablish the Uptown Planners as an official community planning group. Those terms stated without ambiguity that any new group it appointed must conduct and conclude elections within 90 days of its appointment — or else that new group disqualified itself as incompetent.
Modern Times Beer Shutting Down Midway District Brewery
From SanDiegoVille / September 6, 2024
San Diego’s Modern Times Beer, now owned by Maui Brewing Company, will soon close its flagship brewery and transition to contract brewing.
After a challenging few years following a devastating over-expansion, Modern Times announced to staff during a company wide meeting on Friday that the company has decided to shut down its original brewery in the Midway district of Point Loma, where it has operated since 2013. This move comes as part of a broader restructuring following a tumultuous period for the once-thriving San Diego craft brewery. At least 57 jobs will be cut as part of the impending closure.
A Judge’s Perspective — The ‘Worst ADU Contest’
By Brae Canlen
When I was asked to be a judge for the OB Rag’s “Worst ADU in San Diego” contest, I figured I’d be looking at oversized buildings behind single family homes, like what I often see in my North Park neighborhood. I had no idea what I was in for.
Word of this contest must have spread, because entries came in from all over the city.
Towards the top of the “worst” list were the multi-unit ADUs (11, 12, 14 units). Clearly not a granny flat, unless Granny has lots of friends who like to sleep over.
Times of San Diego: ‘OB Rag Announces Winners of ‘Worst ADU’ Contest’
by Eshaan Sarup / Times of San Diego /September 14, 2024
The OB Rag announced the top 3 winners of its “Worst ADU (accessory dwelling unit)” contest, a tongue-in-cheek event meant to raise awareness about what critics deem predatory construction.
While it is legal for homeowners to construct an ADU on their property in San Diego County, some residents argue that these units sacrifice the comfort and aesthetics of neighborhoods.

The Ocean and the Election — Voting for the Blue in the Red, White and Blue
By David Helvarg / Blue Frontier / Sept. 6, 2024
I feel we need to talk about the ocean as an election issue now. Obviously and unfortunately our public seas did not get to be a part of Tuesday’s presidential debate in Philadelphia between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, which most viewers saw as a victory for Harris even as things got more heated than Prudhoe Bay on the Arctic Ocean in August – when it hit 89 degrees.
More surprisingly, climate was not seriously addressed during the 90-minute debate even as Hurricane Francine was heading towards coastal Louisiana and New Orleans.
‘We Can Clean Up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch Within Decade for $7 Billion — Less Than Americans Spend on Halloween Annually’
San Francisco, September 6, 2024 – The Ocean Cleanup today declared the eradication of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) achievable within a decade and an ambition to make the cleanup happen faster and more cost-effectively. Today’s announcement is the first time both a cost and a timeline has been placed on ridding the Pacific Ocean of the environmental hazard presented by the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
Six years after sailing out of San Francisco with the ambition of developing the technology to rid the world’s oceans of plastic, The Ocean Cleanup returned to San Francisco with the knowledge and know-how to relegate the Great Pacific Garbage Patch to the history books.
