Welcome to San Diego Today. I'm Morgan Riley, bringing you the latest from America's Finest City on this Friday, May 23rd, 2025.
Word on the streets of San Diego is that our Padres are facing some tough times. The team's losing streak has reached six games after a heartbreaking extra-innings loss in Toronto. Stars are in a slump, and the team appears to be in disarray as they continue to struggle. Earlier this week, pitcher Dylan Cease gave up two homers in a 3-0 loss, extending the team's difficulties on the field.
In city news, despite the ongoing budget crisis, San Diego officials aren't considering salary cuts—even for leadership positions. This comes as the city works to address financial challenges without reducing compensation for its top executives.
Some positive news for our community—San Diego County parks will be showing over 100 free movies this summer. This family-friendly initiative provides great entertainment options without straining your wallet. Additionally, a new field has opened for the Bay Terraces community through a partnership with San Diego Unified School District, providing much-needed recreational space for residents.
The recent Navy run across the Coronado Bridge raised almost $500,000 for military families, showcasing our community's strong support for those who serve. And music fans came together for a good cause when Elton John's Curebound concert at Petco Park raised an impressive $11.5 million for cancer research on Monday.
Looking ahead to next week, mark your calendars for Red Shoe Day on Wednesday, May 21st, supporting San Diego's Ronald McDonald House. This annual event helps families with children receiving treatment at local hospitals.
Weather-wise, we're looking at typical late May conditions—sunny skies with temperatures in the mid-70s along the coast and low 80s inland. Perfect weather for enjoying one of those free movies in the park this weekend.
As we close today, I'm reminded how San Diegans consistently come together to support worthy causes—from cancer research to military families. These efforts reflect the generous spirit that makes our community special, even as we navigate challenges like budget concerns and baseball slumps.
