When Pigs Fly  I continue to add to my wall mural collection, which is primarily wall art in Carlsbad. I'm finding there are lots of wall murals in Oceanside - just to the north of Carlsbad - and stumbled across this one the other day while out looking at property and picking my wife up at the train station. We all have heard the saying "when pigs fly." You know, when someone says they are going to do something and you know it ain't gonna happen.  Or perhaps we might say something like "someday there will be no spam here on AR." Hmmm, when pigs fly, I think. This mural is on the side wall of the aptly-named "Flying Pig Pub and Kitchen," which features BBQ, and other food, at 2 locations, Oceanside and Vista. I'm not a BBQ fan, but they have a pretty good reputation in the area. The mura...

Wordless Wednesday: Oceanside Wall Mural  I keep adding to my collection of colorful wall murals in Carlsbad as well as from Oceanside. This is the Living Tea Brewing Company building on a small street in Oceanside - if you want to buy Kombucha, I understand THIS is the place in the area. I discovered this cool building last year when I sold an ocean-view town home as a second home to referral clients from Nevada right down the street.

Ocean Hills Country Club 55+ Community in Oceanside Market Update March 2018 Ocean Hills Country Club in Oceanside CA is commonly regarded as the premier 55+ community in coastal North San Diego County, perhaps even in San Diego County, and prices reflect that as compared to other 55+ neighborhoods. Buyers with the right budget are often interested in the homes for sale at Ocean Hills Country Club.  Ocean Hills is a gated and guarded community (24-hour guards), with the primary point of access for residents and the public off Cannon Road, and a second entrance/exit for residents only. Ocean Hills Country Club is known for its resort and active-senior lifestyle.

Wondering what your home is worth in Oceanside/ Rancho Del Oro?Wondering how the Oceanside Real Estate Market is doing, particularly in Rancho Del Oro, Ivey Ranch? There is NO QUESTION ABOUT IT. IT'S A SELLERS MARKET. SO THAT MEANS SELL SELL SELL SELL! If you've lived in Rancho Del Oro Oceanside for a while, I just thought I'd let you know home prices have never been higher, and competition has never been stronger! Trust me, most homes ( that don't suck) receive multiple offers. This is when having a good real estate agent, who you pay a FULL COMMISSION TO, comes in handy. This is when a discount broker, gets you LESS MONEY AND LESS MARKETING, LESS EXPOSURE, LESS TRAFFIC, LESS EYEBALLS; Hey, just sayin.If you want to get a quick idea about what the value of your home is, then USE my web...

Bake Sale at Sea Hive Marketplace to Benefit Those Affected by the Lilac Fires Sea Hive Marketplace, one of my favorite stores around, is hosting a bake sale today with 10 area bakers participating, from 10 am until 4 pm. 100% of the proceeds will benefit those affected by the Lilac Fires recently. Stop by if you have a chance, at 1555 S. Coast Highway in Oceanside.  We started, of course, with the bake sale and bought a bunch of goodies to enjoy and share.   Of course we then went on to do some shopping at this eclectic marketplace with numerous vendors, and an amazing array of art, clothing, pottery, jewelry, records, furniture, collectibles, and the list just goes on and on.   The holiday season was alive and very well, too, at Sea Hive. It was great fun seeing lots of vintage holida...

Holiday Music at the Mission San Luis Rey in Oceanside CA 2017 The Mission San Luis Rey, the largest of the 21 California missions and founded in 1798, is a beautiful place to visit any time of the year, with wonderful grounds and abundant history (it’s a National Historical Landmark) to enjoy – and open daily to the public. The Mission is home to a community of Franciscan Friars. Mission San Luis Rey offers a Retreat Center with day and overnight programs cemetery, historic church, museum, multi-function meeting spaces, and gift shop, and is well worth a visit if you are in the area.  We went to a wonderful holiday Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols there today (one of the choir directors is a good friend of ours) and thoroughly enjoyed beautiful music in a liturgical tradition first ...

Sea Hive Marketplace in Oceanside CA Prepare to be Amazed!  I am not a big shopper. So I don’t usually gush about places where I have shopped. That out of the way…I love this place I just discovered.   And if you are a fan of vintage, modern/mid-century modern, antique or artisan-made crafts, and so much more, Sea Hive may end up being your favorite place, too. Redecorating a room or your home? Need an interesting accessory or a gift? Or just love collecting? You’ll likely find it here.  Sea Hive Marketplace just opened in August 2017, a collaboration between Todd Stephenson of Estate Sale Warehouse fame (right down the street in Oceanside) and others. Located in the popular South O area of Oceanside, with over 12,000 SF of space and I think about 100 vendors, this place just goes on an...

101 Cafe Wall Mural in Oceanside I drive by this classic diner in Oceanside often, located on the historic 101 (aka the Coast Road) where it's been since 1928 - making it Oceanside's oldest restaurant.  Despite all my time here in neighboring Carlsbad I have yet to stop in...something to be remedied I think. I drove by 2 days ago, on the side road, on my way home from an inspection at a beautiful ocean-vew condo. It was a gorgeous fall day and the colors on the mural were particularly bright. And since I didn't already have this mural in my photo collection, I made it happen quickly before the light changed.
