San Diego is filled with diverse neighborhoods and communities throughout the county.  Though downtown San Diego and the beach communities get a large percentage of the exposure, there are other areas rich in culture and history.  South Park is an area being highlighted by the 12th Annual Old House Fair on Saturday, June 19.  South Park is located south of North Park, east of Balboa Park and north of Golden Hill.  The South Park addition was registered on May 17, 1870.  Developed by the Bartlett Estate Company, E. Bartlett Webster was instrumental in the creation of South Park as a neighborhood.  Based on information from SouthParkScene.com, homes primarily date between 1906 through the 1930’s.  The styles of home in this community range from Craftsman to Spanish to contemporary.  South Park is home to many independent restaurants, boutiques and businesses.  One fantastic restaurant which has received national attention is the Big Kitchen Cafe.

The 12th Annual Old House Fair in South Park is Saturday, June 19 from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM and is centered at the intersection of Beech and 30th Street.  Admission to the fair is free and there will be over 70 exhibits and various entertainment throughout the day. Read the rest of this entry »

San Diego County Fair Starts Today


Can't Wait for Fair Food

Can't Wait for Fair Food

I look forward to many events throughout the year and I must say that the San Diego County Fair is among the top of my list. There’s just something about the smell of the Del Mar ocean air mixed with fried foods of all shapes and kinds that keeps me coming back for more year after year.  This year’s theme is “Taste the Fun” and I can guarantee that I will.

The San Diego County Fair (formerly known as the Del Mar Fair) runs from today, June 11 through Monday, July 5.  Please note the fair is closed on June 14, 21 and 28.  This fair began in 1880, has been held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds since 1936 and is the sixth largest fair in the United States according to the San Diego County Fair website.  It is an important event to San Diego County as evident of last year’s attendance record of 1,274,442 people. Attractions include games and rides at the midway, shopping, exhibits and of course the food.

This year, as in most years, the fair has new food offerings.  I will begin with the deep fried variety…Klondike ice cream bars, Pop Tarts and…butter? Read the rest of this entry »
