News Notes
Weather
  • Yes, Tropical Storm Hilary dumped record-setting rain in San Diego County, but that doesn’t diminish the potential for wildfires, as conditions have quickly dried out. US Forest Service officials say prescribed burns should begin around the county this fall — when temps are cooler and there’s higher relative humidity. (San Diego Union-Tribune)
Health
  • The State Water Resources Board has issued a Boil Water Advisory for the Silver Strand in Coronado and Imperial Beach after tests found E. Coli bacteria in the drinking water. For now, it’s best to use bottled water. Call the County Department of Environmental Health and Quality for details — (858) 505-6700.
Sports
  • With Major League Soccer expanding to San Diego in 2025, it seems there’s not much room in town for the second-division pro soccer team, San Diego Loyal. The club led by Landon Donovan and Andrew Vassiliadis announced it will end its run in SD after its current 2023 season. (San Diego Union-Tribune)
Coming Soon

🥬 30, fresh, and thriving

Lettuce celebrate: La Mesa Village Farmers Market turns 30

San Diego’s farmers markets are un-beet-able.

La Mesa Village Farmers Market (LMVFM) is ringing in its 30th anniversary — lettuce celebrate its importance to the community.

The year-round market takes over La Mesa Boulevard every Friday, 3-7:30 p.m. — closing at 7 p.m. October-April.

Did you know? Suzanne and Mark Bendixen launched the market in September 1993 at the Allison Avenue parking lot with 20 vendors. It operated at the Civic Center lot from 2003 to 2018. La Mesa Village Association took it over in 2018, moving it to the heart of downtown.

Today, it boasts 80+ vendors selling locally-grown produce, flowers, eggs, meat, prepared foods (don’t miss the food court), and handmade gifts.

Starting Friday, Sept. 1, LMVFM will host weekly anniversary giveaways on its Instagram page — from $50 in “Market Bucks” to a commemorative shopping bag filled with surprise goodies from its vendors.

Happy birthday, LMVFM.
