The truth is that it is private property owned by seven property owners. The property is at a crossroads due to escalating repair costs and tax reassessments. The lot has been a community staple for over six decades, offering crucial parking spaces...
With regards to Julie Reeder’s letter “Property Owners Deserve Our Support” I would like to clarify some inaccuracies in the letter.

Many businesses depend on this lot for their parking spaces required by the County. Through the years the trust ownership has changed. A few years ago these owners changed the trust to a LLC. This caused the County Tax Assessor to reassess and significantly increase the prope...

Brotherhood at the Trunk or Treat By Emiliano Bolanos Delgado On Saturday, Oct. 28, Fallbrook High School had a trunk or treat, and I went and interviewed a person called Abel Orozco. He has a group of friends that have lowriders, and their group name is called Brooklife. They created Brooklife in 2019 and they have about 16 lowriders; some are cruisers and most of them are getting repaired.

Don’t pack a pest! It can happen. The gifts you send or receive could be carrying hitchhiking pests or plant diseases that could potentially damage the county’s $1.78 billion agricultural industry and our environme...

And it's also a time, as our feasts run from Thanksgiving through New Year's, that it becomes pretty easy to waste food.

It's hard to believe, but every year in the U.S. up to 40% of the total food supply goes to waste, according to the...

Lucette Moramarco Associate Editor The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration recently held a National Prescription Drug Take Back Day to give people a way to safely discard unused medications. While many sheriff stations had a special collection that day, our Fallbrook substation doesn’t have the manpower to do it. However, local residents have several area locations to choose from to remove unneeded medications from their homes. Doing so can prevent drug misuse before it starts. The Fallbrook sheriff’s substation does hav...
