“Delightful! We took a 25-minute tour with docent Steve. He pointed out and explained so much that I have a new appreciation for all musical instruments even though I can't even play spoons! We ended up staying an hour. The hands-on room was a lot of fun handling the variety of instruments. I had no idea how heavy an electric guitar is...wow! A visit to this museum is well worth the time and money! Children are welcome and there is a room for them to handle instruments.”

“FACE saved our lives.
We had the most terrifying and unexpected experience with our cat this Saturday. We discovered he had a feline urethral obstruction. We had no way of getting him the care he needed, and I was ready to watch him pass away, but FACE gave us hope!
Thank you so much for giving us the grant that helped save my baby's life!
My baby's name is Tiny, and we will be forever grateful for everything they have done for us.”

“My daughter (kindergarten) attended the Fall Science Camp at SD Lab Rats, and she absolutely LOVED it! Every day she came home excited, with something fun to show and new science concepts to share. In just three short days, her love for science exploded! She’s always enjoyed doing “experiments” at home, but after camp, she couldn’t stop talking about chemical reactions and physical changes. She even said she wished Thanksgiving wasn’t coming so she could go back to camp.

The instructors and staff were passionate, friendly, and engaging. Huge shout-out to Miss Butterfly, the Merrill brothers, and the entire team for making science so fun for the kiddos! The space is clean, well-organized, and in a great location.

Thank you for giving her three unforgettable days, she may very well become a scientist one day! We can’t wait to come back for future camps. Highly recommend SD Lab Rats to any parent looking for a fun, educational experience for their kids!”

“My daughter absolutely loves this program! It has helped her so much; not only with physical strength,but also her concentration and confidence. Michelle is outstanding! We are going to miss all of you so much when we move out of state next month. I highly recommend this class ! My daughter is a Special Education student with focus on behavioral issues, but at the YMCA, you would never know that she has any challenges by watching her with her class. Thank you for treating all kids equally by focusing their energy on something positive and teaching them that with hard work and commitment, any obstacle can be overcome.”

“Always pay it forward.

This is a small location that consists of mostly books but once in a while you'll find a surprise.

This time around, I found a classic WWE Action Figure for my son to enjoy. New in box and priced just right. Online the same item is selling for $49!

I also found a new San Diego Clippers Towel which retails for $39!

All I spent was $5! I'm not a reseller but it does feel tempting.

I'll be back again when I'm in the area for some treasure hunting.

Be back soon.”

“✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨Visiting the Salk Institute for Biological Studies feels less like stepping onto a campus and more like entering a living sanctuary of intellect and discovery.

There is an alluring secrecy woven into the space—an unspoken awareness that behind its quiet walls, some of the world’s most groundbreaking scientific advancements are unfolding. You can feel it. Not loudly, but profoundly. It’s in the stillness of the courtyard, the symmetry of the architecture, the way light meets concrete as if designed to sharpen thought itself.

The energy here is unmistakable—focused, disciplined, and almost reverent. It carries the weight of innovation while remaining beautifully restrained. Every line, every material, every view toward the horizon feels intentional, as if the environment itself is a collaborator in discovery.

What makes the experience so powerful is that nothing is overstated. There are no distractions, no excess—just pure alignment between space and purpose. It leaves you with the sense that you are standing at the edge of something vast and transformative, even if you cannot see it directly.

The Salk Institute for Biological Studies is not simply a place of science—it is a quiet force of human potential, where mystery, energy, and intellect converge to shape the future.”

“Great club. My son wanted to find a club where he could learn from skilled coaches to improve his own abilities, and compete with other teammates who also wanted to excel, while having fun. He loves it. In addition to coaching the kids in the game, they also teach and expect good sportsmanship (which not all clubs emphasize). Very positive environment that brings out the best in my son. In addition, they offer camps during school breaks for continued competitive skill building. The other parents are all terrific too; it's fun to go watch the kids' games together.”

“I've been coming to the 6th step house for 15 out 30 years of my sobriety and I am very proud to call this place my home group. I got sober in Boston and was quite use to the meetings there and struggled when I came to California. I went to many different meetings trying to find place where I felt comfortable. Finally I landed at a step house Saturday nooner and found the best meeting in San Diego! There was a lot of laughter, people made me feel welcome. Best of all the focus was about alcoholism and how to live sober, be useful and live from the heart. There are many meeting there and is all inclusive to everyone.”

“I started attending some of the Garden Club events this past couple of years and they are exceptionally well- organized, educational, a good variety of activities, and fun! The club facilitator really does a great job at switching things up. I especially love the annual holiday events. Garden Club grounds are lovely. I always go without expectations; I know that I'll learn something, I'll meet new people, and I go with an open-mindset and fun attitude! Great way to spend the day!”

“I was sold a lab diamond and when I was getting it appraised for insurance purposes, I was told that it was a lab diamond but that it would be best to send to the lab to get a report. I created an account online, sent it via USPS, insured it and in about 2 weeks I had the diamond back and a report. GIA confirmed it was a CVD lab diamond.”
