    We came here and were amazed at the view from up here. We were fortunate to find parking as only about 8 spaces exist.

    This is a very nice, centrally located park. There is a dog park, play areas, restrooms and lots of parking! There's lots of parking spaces available but it is quite a large park so I've seen parking scarce a few times! It's always been available but sometimes a bit of a walk!

    Bolt has a great atmosphere and a wide variety of brews on tap, not just IPAs! A little light on food and snacks but good fun.

    My wife and I were down in the San Diego area when I discovered this wonderful community theater in La Mesa through the Goldstar on-line discount service for live performance events. We saw an excellent performance of the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Crimes of the Heart" in this intimate 69-seat venue tucked way in a mall. The set design, direction, music and acting was really quite good. My wife and I love to support good community theater, especially up in the Pasadena area where we live, as you get to meet the actors afterwards and congratulate them on putting their heart into a show.

    This company puts on about six different plays per year and we will definitely catch them the next time we are in town.

    Bravo!

    Something for everybody. Saw childhood memories everywhere. Reasonable pricing, friendly staff. Legos to lamps, comics to action figures, crystal and pottery, furniture and small kitchen items. Tripadvisor web site is not correct.

    The old train station is still there. Climb through the caboose and check out the engine. Watch the new transportation ( trolley) go past you while standing on the old.
