Hello Summer part 3 of 12 Carlsbad buzzes with excitement as summer arrives and becomes a destination for many beach seeking out-of-towners. Our sleepy village becomes overworked and tired as a steady flow of motorists creep down the coast. Traffic is a sure sign of the arrival of summer. Cars spurt headaches and motorists overheat. […]

A stagnant lagoon separates Carlsbad from Oceanside under the low gloom of a sleepy late Spring day. An artist, with supplies in hand, sets out for her subject. She wanders the streets of Carlsbad while scanning for her hidden muse. Like a hound in pursuit of a sly fox or a hobo in search of […]
Once upon a time there was a wall who begged for attention. He desired the obscure conversation and jumped on any chance to entertain. His passions belonged on the stage and his heart in the eyes of the public. His thoughts, educated through world wanderings and long reads, belonged in the ears of cool cats […]
