Yesterday, City Councilmember and mayoral candidate Carl DeMaio held a 10:30 a.m. press conference at the North Clairemont Recreation Center. There to pitch his ideas to boost volunteerism—and to blame city labor unions for limiting volunteer opportunities—he stood in front of the rec center's empty playground and described the facility as closed (at that time of day) and poorly used due to a cut-back in hours. While the rec center doesn't officially open to the public until 12:30 p.m. on Thursdays, it's used by a Tiny Tots program. Kim Bruch, who runs the twice-weekly, 9 to 11 a.m. program, said she was on the rec center's playground with five kids when DeMaio and his staff... More

Hand-tap tattooing in San Diego

Sulu'ape Angela Bolson at Big City Tattoo practices the traditional technique
