IN THIS EDITION: There is no more beautiful venue for enjoying the creative talents of the region’s finest artists than Embarcadero Marina Park North. ArtWalk on the Bay, produced by the same team that brings Mission Federal ArtWalk to Little Italy each April, not only showcases visual and performing artists—the setting itself is a work of art. Located directly behind San Diego’s Seaport Village, the eight acre park will be filled with art, music, food and interactive art experiences for children at KidsWalk. Adding to the festivities this year, we are introducing the Bayside Lounge, serving wine, beer and signature bloody marys. A portion of proceeds from beverage sales benefit ArtReach, a not-for-profit art education program that brings professional artist/teachers into elementary schools offering enriching art experiences. Our wonderful partners at Fast Forward Events bring us the Bayside Lounge. This event is made possible by our partners, the Port of San Diego, and admission is FREE!Check out www.artwalkonthebay.org for registration and information. Connect with us on Facebook ArtWalk on the Bay Automotive Sponsor: After experiencing its road-gripping Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, Motor Trend said "when it gets on dirt, it almost encourages you to go faster." The judges also noted that Forester had "the best observed fuel economy for an all-wheel drive SUV in this year's competition." After all, there's no point in having go-anywhere capability if you can't afford to get where you're going. We'll take being called "green as you-know-what" as a compliment, and it tends to happen when all of your cars are built in a zero landfill plant. Forester is also the most affordable SUV in its class, so you can see why Motor Trend said "the traditional model for a SUV has changed into something smaller, more fuel-efficient, greener, more, well...Forester-y." It's a good feeling when you're rewarded for doing things the right way, and we're proud to have built a responsible, versatile, right-sized utility vehicle. So when Motor Trend called Forester "the right vehicle for the times", it wasn't just for today but also for tomorrow. We want to continue building cars that enhance whatever you're doing. Whether it's a trip to the market or a trip to the mountains, it's what we've always done, and what we will continue to do. For more information, visit www.Subaru.com EXPERIENCE THE DIFFERENCE

Viva-city logo Once again, futurists seek to provide an economical and psychological boost to our waning progress. And once again, another study is commissioned to evaluate the viability of the Civic Center Complex. With leases on current city-occupied buildings ready to expire, proactive steps are being taken to evaluate the present and future practicality of continuing on “as is” or taking a big leap into the future. Over the last fifteen years, modern buildings, some extremely striking, have been sprouting up all over Downtown. Yet, in the center of it all, meekly hides our Civic Center Complex. San Diego has it all–the finest weather, stunning geography, delightful people, and unsurpassed potential. So, why do some say San Diego lacks a creative vision to make our town rank among world-class cities? Could it be the attributes that make San Diego so desirable also contribute to our failure to craft an ideal metropolis? Do we create a place for people or allow people to stop the future in its place? I question... Do we make way for the future or hold on to our past?
