Below are my picks for three diverse, adventurous evenings – just add good company and enjoy! South Bay Drive-in and Ye […]

Lights, Camera, Action – in Coronado!

Think You Know Carlsbad?
I thought I did. Legos, flowers, strawberries and surfing, right? Actually, yes. But there’s so much more! On a recent visit, I found out there’s also a charming, walkable downtown full of cute shops, an awesome slice of Hollywood history meets hacienda, a museum dedicated to rocking out (debuting the first ever MOOG exhibit on Aug. 29) and a thriving, dare-I-say urban, theater scene.

Get A Sneek Peek Before Broadway
San Diego is a major theater town. Productions that premiere here head off to the Great White Way every year. Lately, we’ve had a lot of luck with musicals like The Old Globe’s Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and La Jolla Playhouse’s Tony Award-winning Jersey Boys.
