We’ve been watching the setup for the Red Bull Air Races that are returning to downtown San Diego for the third consecutive year this weekend (May 9 and 10).  The Air Races are held over water in the San Diego Bay.  Pilots race aerobatic prop planes in speeds over 250 mph (individually against the clock, of course!) in a preset configuration through 6-story high inflatable obstacles known as “Air Gates,” which will be anchored to floating platforms in the Bay.  There are three types of Air Gate which determine the maneuver …

I hope you enjoyed our San Diego city wide party for St Patrick’s Day this weekend. The parade near Balboa park was as usual, lots of fun. I really like having the park festivals and parade on the weekend, since it gives everyone with children a chance to come and really enjoy the fun here in San Diego.The party lives on here in San Diego, as the Gaslamp Quarter is now rolling in green Astroturf – to resemble the green hills of Ireland. There’s a fabulous outdoor musical party going.

The first time home buyer tax credit of $8000 is generating a lot of interest among potential San Diego Condo buyers – and a lot of questions. What’s interesting for all home buyers is the various initiatives in states right now.

So what is the story with the stimulus and the tax credit for first time home buyers anyway? How different is it from the tax credit that already exists? Originally, a $15000 stimulus credit was discussed, one that would be open to all home buyers who had not purchased within the past three years. This would have carried a 19 billion price tag. Congress reduced it to $8000. But you still are eligible if you have not owned a home within the past three years.

Adaptive Re-use is a wonderful way of taking a building that is beautiful, old, and no longer functioning in its intended use, and changing it to a modern function. This concept is behind many San Diego Condos and lofts. Treasured pieces of history and architecture no longer function as warehouses, banks, offices, train stations are remade into residences or public spaces. One such adaptive reuse in San Diego is Electra, the San Diego Condo that has transformed the SDE&G “Station B” into the tallest residential building in the city.

San Diego is such a beautiful city, it is small wonder that we celebrate it every chance we get. Outdoor festivals are just one part of this great climate and beautiful scenery we enjoy, and it’s all part of the energy of our city. Art Festivals, Music Festivals, Food Festivals – seems like we live – and eat – outdoors.
