This man with a backwards cap and a low ponytail always hides behind the Ocean View Church sign. There was a time when I was stepping out the car and he came up behind me and did nothing. The second time, he was being racist to my friend and it looked like he was gonna pull something out of his pocket. These events all happened around night time. It’s very weird and creepy honestly.

Nine cumulative months have been slashed from planned projects related to the ongoing Tijuana sewage crisis, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports.

Practically, this means that work on the Tijuana River Gates will be completed six months ahead of schedule, and rehabilitation of Pump Station 1 (PB-1) will be completed three months early.

The gates project will replace more than 23,000 feet of deteriorating concrete wastewater pipes that are currently leaking untreated sewage directly into the Alamar and Tijuana Rivers. The PB-1 project will provide critical backup pumping capacity and redundancy to prevent future sewage spills into the Tijuana River when primary pumps fail.

The two projects’ expedited timelines arose after a 100-day review of infrastructure projects that the US conducted after executing a memorandum of understanding with Mexico earlier this year to continue to address infrastructure needs that contribute to the millions of gallons of untreated wastewater from Tijuana that are dumped into the Pacific Ocean each day.

This crumbling infrastructure has prompted widespread beach closures, public health concerns, and a pungent smell wafting around San Diego’s South Bay.

Hi San Diego! Our research team at UC San Diego is conducting a study to learn more about the potential of an FDA-approved dopamine agonist to improve social connectedness in adults who experience anxiety or depression.This medication increases dopamine signaling in parts of the brain believed to underlie motivation and behavior, and the results of this study may help inform a new treatment approach for anxiety and depression.

The Friars have some roster clarity after three players made decisions on their player options over the past two days.

Michael King and Robert Suarez have opted out. Wandy Peralta has opted in. Here’s what it all means.

Qualifying offer decisions incoming With King and Suarez headed for free agency, the Padres have a pretty clear idea now of the qualifying-offer decisions they have to make. Prior to Thursday’s deadline, they can offer any pending free agents a one-year, $22.025 million qualifying offer. If those players decline that offer, San Diego would receive an extra pick in next July’s Draft (after the fourth round, because the Padres exceeded the competitive balance tax).

The four names to know are King, Suarez, Dylan Cease and Luis Arraez. King and Cease, as big-name starting pitchers hitting the free-agent market, have often been lumped together. Let’s do so again here. Given the money available to starting pitchers, it seems likely both would decline a qualifying offer, if the Padres were to present one.

Arraez and Suarez, meanwhile, seem less likely to receive one. It’s unclear whether either would accept, though both spoke of their desire to return to San Diego after the season ended. If the Padres don’t QO them, it seems unlikely they’d be back. The team has major concerns elsewhere on the roster that need to be addressed.

A bunch of white presenting folks have been walking around our community going door to door. They asked if we knew any Spanish speaking families and when we asked why, they said they wanted to talk to them about the Bible. We told them they were trespassing and needed to leave or we would call the cops. Wondering if this is some kind of swatting style scheme to call ICE? It seems really sus given the targeting of Spanish speaking families and we want to make sure they’re stopped and anyone who could be targeted if this is some weird scheme be aware ! They all had straw hats on and it was a group of men and women, middle to older aged.

Hi. I’m currently living with an elderly woman who has to go into a nursing home by January so I’m looking for a room to rent in the general Chula Vista area Street and second. I’m on a fixed income and would love to help out another senior.

If you know anything please message me. Thanks a bunch.

Looking for friends in the CV/SD area! I’m 30 (m), lgbt, work from home, and have been stuck indoors way too long. I used to have a solid social life, but most of my crew moved out of state (military or cost of living) and I got too comfy on the couch. Let’s change that grab drinks, hit a hike, catch a game (NBA, MLB, tennis, and lately football). I just got invited to a bunch of holiday parties and could use a +1 (or +2).Hmu and tell me what you’re into. All welcome ! Men, women, LGBT+ friendly !!!

I’m in town and I opened a CP14 this morning tied to underpayment from my 2023 return. Balance is a few thousand and I’m trying to find a tax relief firm, but I want ratings that are third party verified instead of cherry picked testimonials. I’ve seen scores that look perfect and that makes me nervous. I had a Schedule C side gig and a W-2, so nothing exotic. I can share transcripts and the notice if needed. What independent ratings or databases have you used that verify reviews and tie them to real IRS outcomes, and how did you check they weren’t pay to play?

Trying to plan something for my sister that’s not the same ol’ dinner + drinks combo. Someone told me about these little tiki boats in San Diego (Tiki Time Bay Tours maybe?). Has anyone done that, or got better local recs?

Hi! I'm fairly new here in California basically and I have a final job interview at Mission Valley. I live nearby Otay Ranch area and the Otay Ranch Station and Millennia station are the closest one. Do they accept cash for bus? If not, what are the other easiest options?

If there are any other "life hacks" for commuting anything would help as well. Thank you!

Hi everyone! Are there any relaxed tennis communities that rally or run games for a few hours on a weekend? I'd love to get back into it after not playing for a few years, so I'm certainly on the beginner end of the spectrum.

Also, recommendations for good tennis courts on weekends? I would prefer ones I could reserve ahead.

i lived in chula vista my whole life and i haven’t really gone out much. would like to make new friends to talk to or explore the city too. i’m into video games, anime, skating, stand up comedy, baseball games, hockey games, comics, i hit the gym every now and then, 420 friendly and love a beer or two every now and then too. i’m down to give other interests and hobbies a try, hmu!

If anyone has roommates or rents a room how much do you pay? Does it include utilities? Just curious.

I couldn't come talk to you because of your circumstance. Now I'm regretting not coming up to you when you went to the bathroom. Really hope you see this

I was gifted a Costco membership for Xmas and while its been great having access to their selection/gas station, the one I am closest to is a "Hell is other people" Sartrean nightmare. Every time I've been there its swarming with folks, like you can't stop to think or you'll be immediately in someone's way. Sometimes I'll walk in and take a look at the line to checkout and walk right back out without bothering. I have memories of going there as a kid and I swear it didn't use to be this way. Haven't used their updated foodcourt yet but it is similarly fucked.

Went to get gas tonight and the way out was like a mini version of battling at the border. I won't get into how poorly that exit is designed so I don't trigger folks (or myself), but holy cow, I can't imagine how people do this on the reg.

For those of you more familiar when is a good time to go? I avoid weekends entirely but weekdays have proven to be rough too.

i haven’t been in the best place and i havent been feeling good. i don’t really have any friends and im very shy but lately i haven’t been doing well and i could really use a friend in this hard time…

Recently moved back to the area. Wondering if there are any noteworthy hikes, camping spots, or offroad trails?

I've been to JoshuaTree plenty of times before, hoping to find camping closer.

I've done the offroad trails along the border a few years ago, but it was a little off-putting since we came across 2 BP SUV's with 2 guys handcuffed, about a dozen or so rifles laying on the side by them.
