"The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express." -- Francis Bacon Imagine sitting in a 100-year-old patio courtyard surrounded by vibrant red bougainvillea twining and twirling around static iron balconies. You look up and see a Della Robbia-style Madonna and Child plaque on a high Moorish-type wall with a thousand intricate curves. Red Spanish tile walkways show slight dips from a hundred years of footfall. Twittering birds flit to a fountain trickling small...

Property owners are being further supported in converting their homes to solar energy by the County of San Diego. There are changes being proposed to current building codes to make the process easier and the residential PACE program already in place allows a unique financing option. With the program, homeowners are able to pay the cost back over time as a voluntary property tax assessment through their existing property tax bill. Many solar companies offer their own financing...
SACRAMENTO – Some businesses use illegal sales suppression software to falsify their electronic records in order to evade paying tax. This provides an unfair advantage over honest taxpayers who pay their fair share of taxes. It also cheats the state out of tax dollars used to supply needed services to Californians. The Board of Equalization (BOE) is committed to fighting the use of illegal sales suppression software and leveling the playing field for all businesses....

On Sunday, August 17, my husband and I visited the new Thai restaurant, Golden Kitchen, located in Jackson Square. Not only was the food delicious (satay pork skewers, fried rice with shrimp, yellow curry chicken, mango over sweet rice), but the service was excellent, the owners were exceptionally friendly and the price was right. The only negative was not being able to see the “Open” sign from Main Street. We hope you stop by and give this new Fallbrook restaurant a try! Kathy and Ken Crouse...
The tree stood as a sentinel for 100 years over Fallbrook. The smooth, light skinned sentinel was one of the oldest living things in Fallbrook and stood 75 feet into the air. You could not wrap your arms around the base; it was over six feet in diameter. It was there long before La Paloma School and any of the houses of the neighborhood. It grew on county right-of-way for Fallbrook Street. It took three days, two industrial cranes, a very large circular as well as smaller saws, and three different crews under contract to the...
Thank you for publishing my letter about the danger at Big Oak Ranch Road. I did receive very good response from the Fallbrook Community Planning Group, San Diego engineers, and Supervisor Bill Horn, although he only referred it to another agency. One time a paper published an article that South Mission would become four lanes with a center divider, but it never happened. East Mission is also congested, especially during the 2007 fire, as well as 76 when fire was near the riverbed. Also Reche Road and traffic to Camp...
The Fallbrook Animal Sanctuary provides a valuable service in Fallbrook by providing a temporary home to unwanted cats and dogs in our community.

Every now and then an angel in our community offers to help the sanctuary with financial support. Major Market is one of those angels! They support the Fallbrook Animal Sanctuary by providing a small rebate for money spent at Major Market. When...
Contrary to the opinion of Greg Brush, President Obama is not standing idly by: he is actively pursuing a commonsense policy. That policy is premised on the position he has stated clearly: “…there’s no American military solution to the larger crisis there .” The larger crisis in Iraq, and the Middle-East in general, is generated by intense sectarian differences, so a diplomatic solution doesn’t appear possible either. President Obama’s policy is also based on the extremely expensive lesson we learned from the Bush cabal...
