The introduction is “Where did all that wood come from, anyway?” Followed by a first lecture of “Reading the Grain: Understanding the role of woodwork in mainting the character of a building.” And a second lecture: “Understanding your wood trim.”
Great Charity Event Here in the Mission Hills Area.
Food, music and charity in one? Sounds good to me!
Do you like to have fun and give back to the community at the same time? I would say most of us do. Looking for something to do in the upcoming weeks I came upon a local event that I think should be great. It’s the fifth annual so we can safely say that the past years events have been a success.
The name of the event is “Fruit of the Soul” and it’s going to be held at Specialty Produce over on Hancock St. We should all try and do something to make the world a better place and I think this is an excellent opportunity. I’ve posted complete information and I hope to see some of you there. Read the rest of this entry »

Where is Mission Hills?
From time to time we may discuss different areas and neighborhoods on this blog, a popular one is the Mission Hills neighborhood, located in the 92103 zip code.
Mission Hills is a neighborhood of San Diego, CA. It overlooks Old Town (my home and the birthplace of California), and is close to the bay and North of Downtown. The Mission Hills area was home to many pioneers so you will note the historical and architectural renderings throughout the neighborhood.
Captain Henry Johnston’s daughter (who guided his ship to Inspiration Point ) built the very first home inMission Hills naming it Villa Orizaba. More homes followed and if you take a drive through the Mission Hills area, you will see that many homes have applied for the Mills Act and subsequently have the not only had the advantage of paying less tax but have a placard placed on their home.
Below is a picture of the Mission Hills area. Please let us know of any restaurants or shops you recommend!
