News Notes

Civic

The San Diego Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a resolution calling for Supervisor Nathan Fletcher to resign immediately, rather than on May 15, as was previously planned. At its next meeting on May 2, the board will discuss plans on who will represent District 4’s 675,000 residents. (ABC 10)

Development

San Diego State University has selected Chelsea Investment Corporation to build the school’s first affordable housing development on its Mission Valley campus. The first phase of the project will construct 182 affordable homes, and SDSU is committed to bringing 460 units to the public transit-friendly site. (Times of San Diego)

Transit

Metrolink and Amtrak services between Orange and San Diego counties are expected to resume starting Monday, April 17. A storm damaged tracks in San Clemente in September, and repairs faced delays due to additional storms this winter. (NBC 7)

Closed

Mikkeller Brewing had its last call at its tasting room in Little Italy. This closure ends the Danish brand’s presence in the US, a year after it stopped brewing productions in San Diego.

Sports

Snapdragon Stadium will be among the 15 host venues for the 2023 Concacaf Gold Cup, making it one of the four newest arenas participating. The soccer tournament takes place June 16-July 16. The competition’s official draw will take place Friday and bring more details.

Concert

Call The Police — or just head to Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre if you want to see Sting. The legendary musician will perform his “My Songs 2023” tour with Joe Sumner on Wednesday, Oct. 4. General public ticket sales begin Friday at 10 a.m.

Shop

We’re firm believers in spoiling the ones we love — especially our pets. That’s why we’re adding these two things to our shopping carts: this customizable velvet collar and this durable bed that features a removable slipcover. Don’t forget the treats. We love these soft chews for doggos and these freeze dried snacks for cats.

The Wrap

From the editor

Good morning, San Diego. We’re in for another chilly, cloudy day. If you want to warm up, I recommend spicing up your day with hot sauce. Hot Licks at Seaport Village has many options — most are too hot for me — but trying new sauces certainly makes me forget about the cooler temps.
