Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Saturday, November 29th, 2025.

We're starting this weekend with some important developments affecting our community. First, federal authorities have a significant connection to San Diego in a case that made national headlines. The FBI has been investigating a suspect with ties to our area in connection with a shooting of two National Guard members in Washington DC. The suspect, identified as a 29-year-old Afghan national, has associates here in San Diego, and the Bureau has been actively pursuing leads at our local field office. The incident has prompted the Trump administration to halt asylum decisions and visa processing for Afghan passport holders, a move that's already being felt by immigration advocates and organizations throughout Southern California working with refugee communities.

On a heartbreaking note, our community is mourning the loss of an 11-year-old Escondido boy, Aiden Torres de Paz, who was struck by a hit-and-run driver while playing outside his home. Police are still actively searching for the vehicle involved. The family is grateful for community support, with fundraisers raising more than thirteen thousand dollars as they grieve this tragedy.

In business news, we're seeing strong foot traffic return to our retail centers. Black Friday shoppers descended on Fashion Valley Mall yesterday, with some waiting up to 45 minutes just to find a parking spot. Retail analysts are noting a ten percent surge in foot traffic at high-end shopping destinations, suggesting malls are making a comeback in the retail landscape.

On the weather front, we're looking at beautiful conditions today. This morning started cool and foggy, but we're expecting scattered clouds with temperatures climbing to around 65 to 67 degrees this afternoon. Winds will be light, generally under five miles per hour, making it a pleasant day to get outside. Tomorrow should remain clear with highs in the low 60s as we head into the holiday weekend.

Sports fans, take note that San Diego State's volleyball team crushed Colorado State in the Mountain West tournament semifinals with a clean three-set sweep, continuing their strong tournament run.

Looking ahead at community activities, Small Business Saturday is happening today with the post office highlighting local merchant support throughout the region. We also have increased transit service today for the WWE Survivor Series event happening at Petco Park, so be prepared for busier trolley schedules if you're heading downtown or to Mission Valley.

Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Friday, November 28th, 2025.

We're starting your day with some important public safety updates from around San Diego County. Escondido police are still searching for a hit and run driver who struck an eleven year old child yesterday afternoon on East Washington Avenue. The child suffered serious injuries and was flown to Rady Children's Hospital. Police are asking anyone who witnessed the crash or was in the area around five o'clock yesterday to come forward. If you have dash cam footage or any information, contact the Escondido Police Department right away.

In other law enforcement news, Escondido police responded to an armed incident yesterday afternoon when officers encountered a man wielding a knife on South Center City Parkway. The suspect rushed at officers, forcing them to use force. Video shows the man charged at them multiple times even after being brought down. Officers ultimately used rubber bullets to disarm him. He's currently hospitalized, and no one else was injured in the incident.

We're also learning that the suspect involved in yesterday's shooting of two National Guard members near the White House has a connection to San Diego. The FBI says the suspect is an Afghan national who may have entered the country through an evacuation flight back in 2021. The two Guard members, Sarah Beckstrom and Andrew Wolfe, remain in critical condition after surgery. Investigators say the suspect is not cooperating with authorities at this time.

On the wildlife front, a three year old girl who was bitten by a coyote near the UTC shopping center on Tuesday night has been released from the hospital. She was treated for bites on her arm and hip. Experts are reminding residents that food is scarce for coyotes this time of year, pushing them into populated areas. If you encounter one, make noise and aggressive movements to scare it away.

Looking at your Friday weather, we're expecting partly cloudy skies with a high near 70 degrees. Winds will be light at around five miles per hour or less. It's a great day to get outside and enjoy the mild San Diego sunshine we're known for.

On the sports front, UC San Diego's women's basketball team is heading north tonight to take on the University of Washington. That game tips off at seven o'clock Pacific Time at Alaska Airlines Arena in Seattle.

As we head into the weekend, remember to take advantage of the pleasant weather. Saturday looks to stay in the mid-sixties with clear skies, and Sunday should bring mostly sunny conditions. It's perfect timing as many of us are settling in after the holiday weekend.

Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Thursday, November 27. We’re starting the day with mostly cloudy skies and a high near 74, so grab a light jacket if you’re heading out early. The tide will be low this evening around 859 PM, just right for a walk along the Embarcadero.

City Hall is buzzing after Councilmember Sean Elo-Rivera pushed for new corporate fees, aiming to boost funding for local services. Meanwhile, a lawsuit over the Golden Hill apartment project is still pending, with residents and developers waiting for a decision that could shape the neighborhood’s future.

On the job front, healthcare workers at Sharp Grossmont held a rally this week, following a recent strike authorization. Nurses and staff are demanding better staffing ratios, and the hospital says they’re working to address concerns while keeping patient care a priority.

In real estate, homes are moving fast—median prices are up about 5 percent from last year, and inventory remains tight, especially in neighborhoods like North Park and La Jolla.

For culture, the Boys and Girls Club of Northwest San Diego is spreading holiday cheer with food drives and toy collections, bringing smiles to families in need. And if you’re into music, check out the new pop-up concert series at Liberty Station, featuring local bands every weekend through December.

San Diego State University just landed a spot in the top 100 public universities, and local high school teams are heating up the field—La Jolla High’s soccer team won a big match last night at Mission Bay High’s stadium.

Now, for community events, the annual Holiday Lights Festival kicks off at Balboa Park this weekend, with food trucks, live music, and a tree lighting ceremony. And if you’re looking for a feel-good story, a group of volunteers at the San Diego Food Bank packed over 10,000 meals for families struggling with food insecurity.

On the safety front, Escondido police responded to a shooting near Broadway and Ash Street yesterday, with three officers involved. The man was taken to the hospital and is expected to recover. Police are still investigating, and there are no active threats in the area.

Traffic is heavy on the 5 northbound near the Coronado Bridge, and extra officers are out looking for impaired drivers through the weekend, especially with holiday parties in full swing.

Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Monday, November twenty-fourth.

We’re waking up this morning to partly cloudy skies across the county, with temperatures starting off in the upper fifties and expected to warm into the mid-sixties by the afternoon. That coastal cool hangs in the air but it’s dry, so we should see another mild San Diego day. Looking ahead to tomorrow and Wednesday, we’re sticking with these pleasant conditions—plan those outdoor gatherings, just remember a light jacket for the evening.

Our top story is unfolding out on the freeways. Early Sunday morning, a police pursuit starting in Buena Park ended dramatically on the southbound Five near Ken Pendleton Bridge in Oceanside. California Highway Patrol closed the freeway in both directions for about five hours as officers confronted an armed suspect. Shots were fired but the suspect surrendered shortly before eight. No officers were hurt but drivers definitely felt the ripple, caught in delays well into Saturday afternoon. All lanes have since reopened, but if you're heading north through Oceanside, you might still see investigators out gathering final evidence.

Staying with public safety, North County saw Encinitas city officials responding quickly after street safety signs were hacked last week, displaying unauthorized messages. New tamper-proof locks are now in place, and the city has asked all contractors to upgrade security, aiming to prevent future pranks and keep real safety info front and center.

On a positive note, downtown and across our neighborhoods, the holiday shopping season is ramping up. San Diego’s job market continues its comeback, with recent state figures showing county unemployment holding below four and a half percent. Hospitality and health care are leading new hiring. In the real estate world, the median home price for November sits just above seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars—down slightly from summer highs, which could make things a little easier for buyers chasing deals before the holidays.

City Hall’s been busy too. The most talked-about item this week? Mayor Gloria’s proposed downtown traffic pilot, focusing on Fifth Avenue and Market, which would expand bike lanes and add new pedestrian zones. Businesses and residents are invited to a listening session at the Downtown Library this Thursday evening. It’s a great chance for us to weigh in.

Music lovers, tonight’s going to be something special at Snapdragon Stadium. San Diego FC hosts their first-ever playoff game in the Western Conference Semifinal. Mexican-American singer Xavi, known for his chart-topping hits like En Privado, will perform live before the sold-out match. Kickoff’s five thirty and the energy promises to spill into the Gaslamp all night.

On the high school sports front, congrats to Cathedral Catholic’s girls’ cross-country team after their dramatic win at Balboa Park to claim the regional title. Over at the university level, the San Diego Toreros face New Mexico State tonight at Jenny Craig Pavilion, aiming to snap their losing streak.

Closing with a feel-good neighborhood story, volunteers in City Heights packed surprise Thanksgiving meal kits for nearly six hundred local families this weekend. Their efforts remind us that even small acts can make a big difference during the holiday season.

Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Friday, November 21. Our week wraps up with serious weather on everyone’s mind. A powerful fall storm rolls through today, meaning our evening commute is set to be messy, with rain intensifying by midafternoon and lingering into the night. Winds will pick up too, adding extra challenge for anyone headed home from work later. If you can get an early start or work remotely, this could be the perfect day to do so. Expect wet roads and minor flooding in low-lying spots from Mission Valley to Pacific Beach. The rain is helping city crews spot new potholes by the truckload, with almost twenty-five hundred repair requests already logged this week. The city’s rolling out four new electric patch trucks but they say more patching will wait for the rain to move out. The good news? As we head into the weekend, the weather should dry out, skies will clear, and temperatures will slowly warm up just in time for Thanksgiving week.

The storm’s got another side benefit, too. According to the National Weather Service, we’ve already tripled our usual November rainfall. Experts say these early storms have slashed fire risk for the season across Southern California, so we’re in much better shape than last year.

Turning to breaking news around town, there’s a heavy law enforcement presence along the border after a stabbing suspect reportedly fled into Mexico following a pursuit in South Bay last night. San Diego police and federal officials remain tight-lipped, but community safety alerts are out, so we’ll keep a close watch. In another incident, a crash this morning at the intersection of the ninety-four and five is slowing traffic through Golden Hill, so drive cautiously if you’re in that area.

On the economic front, new numbers from the Labor Department show San Diego County’s unemployment rate holds at four-point-four percent, with nearly 120,000 new jobs added in September after the federal data delay. Local job boards highlight continued hiring for healthcare, biotech, and hospitality, especially with the holidays approaching.

Real estate agents report listings ticking upward, with the median home price hovering just above eight hundred thousand in the City of San Diego. Open houses are drawing steady crowds, even in the rain, as buyers hope interest rates will finally settle.

If you need a lift, let’s talk community. The Rady Children’s Ice Rink opened this week in Liberty Station, with families bundled up and undeterred by drizzles to enjoy opening day. Over in Santee, high schoolers from Santana celebrated a win at the regional robotics competition, bringing home the trophy and a lot of local pride.

On the arts and culture beat, music lovers have plenty to look forward to. The San Diego Symphony is making final preparations for its weekend concert series, and Observatory North Park hosts singer songwriter evenings, with tickets moving fast.

For business news, several new restaurants have just opened up on Convoy Street, including a much anticipated Korean barbecue spot. Meanwhile, an iconic surf shop near Ocean Beach is closing its doors after forty years, making waves in the local surf community.

Finally, a feel-good story for your Friday. San Diego lifeguards were heroes yet again, springing into action during this week’s pounding surf in La Jolla to rescue two stranded swimmers, a reminder of the everyday courage that keeps our beaches safe.

That’s all for now. Stay safe on those slick roads, check on your neighbors, and don’t forget the umbrella. Thank you for tuning in. Subscribe so you never miss a pulse on what matters here at home.

Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Thursday, November twentieth. We wake up today to the third round of storms this week, with skies already gray and off and on showers likely right through the evening. According to the National Weather Service, most neighborhoods will see another three quarters to an inch and a half of rain by tonight, with totals highest in our East County foothills. Gusty winds could make the evening commute tricky, especially on the bridges and near the coast, so let's all drive a little slower if we can. Temperatures hover in the low sixties today, and the chance of thunder increases during the late afternoon. The worst should clear by Friday, with sunshine returning Saturday and Sunday, just in time for those Thanksgiving plans next week.

All that wet weather has prompted the city to keep a close eye on storm drains across our neighborhoods. San Diego staffers are still monitoring over forty six thousand storm drains and reminding us to report any flooding or downed trees. The Get It Done app is still the best way to send in problems you notice on your street, or you can call Public Works directly. Residents of South Mission Beach, Pacific Beach, and around Rose Creek woke up to some minor street flooding again, but most water receded overnight. A rain advisory remains for all city beaches. Beachgoers, the Department of Environmental Health reminds us to avoid swimming or surfing near drains and lagoon outlets for the next seventy two hours to help prevent illness from elevated bacteria levels.

City Hall made headlines last night as the County Board of Supervisors approved a new partnership with the San Diego Foundation and two other major philanthropies. The county faces a three-hundred-million-dollar gap after deep federal funding cuts impacted food support, housing, and health programs. This partnership will invest thirty six million dollars over two years to keep food banks, shelters, and basic medical care going for thousands of families. That comes as more rain drives greater demand for shelter, and city workers continue outreach along the San Diego River and canyons.

In breaking sports news, the city is mourning Padres legend Randy Jones, who passed away earlier this week. Jones is remembered not only for his Cy Young Award, but for his commitment to youth sports and local charities. The club plans a tribute at Petco Park this weekend. In high school sports, Cathedral Catholic’s football team clinched their playoff spot last night, advancing with a dramatic win on the Mesa College field.

The San Diego real estate market remains active, with median sale prices steady just below eight hundred thousand. Over a thousand new job postings were added in hospitality and biotech this week, giving job seekers more choices as the busy holiday season begins. Meanwhile, several new grocery chains are slated to open in Mira Mesa and Otay Mesa before the end of the month, promising dozens of new positions and more options for shoppers.

Turning to public safety, Chula Vista residents are voicing concern about a strong chlorine odor in tap water on Orange Avenue. The water district says testing is underway, but the water remains safe for use. In Vista, city council declared the city a sanctuary jurisdiction in a 3 to 2 vote, ending most local police cooperation with federal immigration agents. Overnight, police responded to a rare but intense incident at Pizzarella Roman Pizza in Vista, where a patron suffered injuries during what officers call an isolated event. In Carmel Mountain, a man convicted of making threats against Shoal Creek Elementary was sentenced to two years but released under parole, with new state law now increasing penalties for threats against schools.

On the community front, families can look forward to the East Village Tree Lighting and Holiday Market returning downtown this weekend, bringing food, music, and seasonal cheer around Petco Park. If you have a free afternoon, the Southeast San Diego mural project is seeking volunteers this Saturday to help paint and beautify local walls—a terrific way to meet neighbors and support public art.

Today’s feel-good update: residents along Mission Boulevard kept spirits high this week, even as their favorite beach bar flooded, by donning flip-flops and lending a hand to clean up. It’s a small reminder of the San Diego way—neighbors helping each other, rain or shine.

Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Sunday, November sixteenth, twenty twenty-five.

We wake up today to the sound of steady rain across our neighborhoods thanks to a powerful atmospheric river sweeping through San Diego County. Flood watches continue in effect, especially in low-lying areas and near the San Diego River, as crews keep a close eye on water levels. We saw some trees topple overnight, especially up near Fallbrook and the foothills, as winds gusted above twenty-five miles per hour. Most of the heavy rain hit North County, with Oceanside, Fallbrook, and Palomar Mountain recording almost one and a half inches in the past twelve hours. For those heading out this morning, bring an umbrella since more rain is on the way. We get a few breaks and glimpses of sunshine into the afternoon before the next system arrives Monday and Tuesday. Temperatures today stay in the upper fifties to low sixties along the coast, cooling off up in the mountains and staying pleasantly mild in the desert.

Turning to breaking news, we start with a tragic story from Imperial Beach where a boat capsized just after midnight. Four people lost their lives in the surf off Seacoast Drive, while five others were rescued and treated for minor injuries and exposure. Coast Guard crews remain on scene searching the water, with authorities reminding everyone to stay alert for advisories along our shoreline.

Over in Lakeside, parents at Tierra del Sol Middle School can expect increased California Highway Patrol presence at drop-off and pick-up this week following an incident last August when a car nearly hit children on Petite Lane. Local school officials are now working with the county and the school district to install new sidewalk barriers and have committed to safety upgrades by the end of the year.

The city’s Office of Emergency Services is on high alert this weekend, monitoring storm drains especially in neighborhoods like Southcrest and Bonita that were hit hard by floods last January. County teams have distributed sandbags and urge residents to call two-one-one for any urgent storm help.

On the economic front, San Diego’s job market holds steady with unemployment around four percent, and real estate sees demand up for homes under one million dollars—especially near Mission Valley and La Mesa, where open houses continue this weekend despite the damp weather.

In culture and community, today is perfect for indoor activities like the annual Agewell Craft Sale at Casa del Prado in Balboa Park. Seventy-five local seniors are showcasing handmade art, clothing, and jewelry. The sale runs nine to three today and tomorrow, rain or shine, and admission is free.

Sports fans have plenty to cheer. Yesterday, our San Diego Toreros scored twenty-three fourth quarter points in a comeback victory over Butler, with Matt Colombo rushing for over a hundred yards. And our Aztecs seized first place in the Mountain West, beating Boise State seventeen to seven at Snapdragon Stadium, powered by an unstoppable run game and tight defense. San Diego’s high school soccer teams also celebrated district wins, led by Point Loma High’s shutout over Cathedral Catholic.

On the lighter side, we tip our hats to the volunteers at Ocean Beach who braved last night’s rains to deliver meals to seniors sheltering in place—a small act of kindness showing what makes our city shine during stormy weekends.

That’s our roundup for today. Thanks for tuning in. Be sure to subscribe for tomorrow’s updates. This has been San Diego Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Saturday, November 15, 2025.

We wake up this morning to widespread showers across San Diego, as a powerful Pacific storm moves through, bringing heavy rain and gusty winds to much of the county. The National Weather Service has placed us under a flood watch until 10 tonight, cautioning everyone to watch for pooling water and slick roads, especially in low-lying areas. Crews have already been out, clearing storm drains along Chollas Creek and in Mountain View and Southcrest, trying to keep ahead of flood risk. Expect rain to taper off by late evening, but unsettled weather with scattered showers lingers through Sunday and even into early next week, so best to have that rain jacket handy.

In breaking news, a dramatic police arrest in Grant Hill is making headlines this morning. Cell phone video captured San Diego police detaining a suspect wanted for a violent assault on a bicyclist near 30th and Imperial. The suspect, Rosales, was apprehended after a struggle and now faces charges of attempted murder and battery. SDPD says physical force and a taser were used after the suspect did not comply, and the investigation into the officers’ actions is ongoing. Meanwhile, the Sheriff’s Department responded to a predawn burglary in the 12400 block of Oak Creek Drive. Deputies arrived within minutes and arrested two suspects at the scene, recovering a stash of stolen electronics. No injuries reported in either incident, but we encourage everyone to stay vigilant, especially as the early darkness of winter sets in.

On the jobs front, the San Diego Workforce Partnership is celebrating the opening of a new career center in Chula Vista, aiming to help local job seekers as the regional job market holds steady despite recent tech contractions. There’s good news for the local tech scene: San Diego’s cyber cluster continues to grow, now valued at over four billion dollars and supporting thousands of high-skill jobs. General Dynamics NASSCO just landed a massive one point seven billion dollar Navy contract, securing hundreds of shipbuilding roles along Harbor Drive. Meanwhile, Novartis opened a new ten thousand square foot facility in Carlsbad, bringing dozens of biotech positions to the North County area.

In real estate, San Diego State is pushing ahead with the Mission Valley Innovation District, a transformative project that will introduce over four thousand six hundred new residential units near Snapdragon Stadium, with ten percent set aside as affordable housing. Home prices across the city remain high, but newer inventory is set to ease pressure, especially for first-time buyers.

Turning to our schools, UC San Diego continues to gain national attention for both its research and the challenges brought by a wave of students needing extra math support, a trend seen across California. Meanwhile, local sports brings a big win for San Diego FC, who are advancing to the Western Conference Semifinals. And Padres fans, get ready, as team legend Craig Stammen steps in as the new manager, hoping to spark a turnaround next season.

For healthcare news, Sharp Memorial has become the first local hospital to offer a groundbreaking new cancer treatment, bringing hope to oncology patients throughout the region. Meanwhile, nearly six thousand Sharp nurses are set to strike in less than two weeks, with negotiations ongoing regarding pay and sick leave policies.

On a lighter note, the USA Pickleball National Championships are now in full swing at Barnes Tennis Centre, bringing visitors from across the country to Point Loma. More community events are coming up: the BlueTech Month Ocean Enterprise Day on November twentieth and the Cali-Baja Business Summit just around the corner. Nonprofits like Feeding San Diego are also ramping up meal distribution efforts ahead of the holiday season, boosted this week by a two hundred fifty thousand dollar donation from Blue Shield, expected to provide over half a million meals.

Before we wrap up, let’s celebrate a feel-good community story: volunteers across San Diego are stepping up, helping prepare care packages for the more than one hundred thousand military families who call our region home.

Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Friday, November 14, 2025. Wet weather headlines our day as a major Pacific storm rolls through San Diego, already bringing passing showers, cooler temps and gray skies across the county. The forecast calls for continued rain throughout today and into the weekend, with San Diego likely seeing between two and two and a half inches of rain by late Sunday. City crews have been out clearing over forty-six thousand drains, and sandbags are available at eleven rec centers. If you spot flooding or blocked drains in your neighborhood, you can report issues with the Get It Done app. The storm means slower travel—there are already minor backups northbound on the 805 near Home Avenue and along the 94, so we’ll want to leave early and drive with care. Stronger winds could bring down tree limbs and cause scattered power outages into tomorrow. The silver lining is the soaking rain will help ease fire risks, a welcome change after our dry fall.

From City Hall, the city is in full storm readiness mode and urging all of us to prepare for possible flash flooding, especially in low-lying parts of Mission Valley, Barrio Logan and areas near the San Diego River. Elsewhere in civic news, fallout from the six-week federal government shutdown is still being felt. Federal workers at Lindbergh Field and other agencies have finally started to receive back pay, but there’s still lingering uncertainty on air travel schedules and when assistance benefits like SNAP will fully resume in our city.

In real estate, new numbers show the San Diego housing market staying brisk. The median sale price for homes hovers near nine hundred thousand dollars, about three percent higher than this time last year. There are signs buyers are re-entering the market after recent dips in interest rates, and local realtors report several newly listed condos in North Park, Hillcrest, and Pacific Beach this week. On the job front, San Diego’s unemployment rate holds steady at just under four percent. We’re still seeing hospitality, tech, and biotech leading job postings, with several new openings announced by companies in Sorrento Valley just yesterday.

For community events, tonight marks the opening of a timely new exhibit at the Museum of Us in Balboa Park, tackling issues of power, resistance, and change. The Jacobs Music Center downtown features a performance of Sibelius’s works tonight and tomorrow, while the Digital Gym Cinema begins its run of Young Audiences, a new play reflecting on school arts and creative activism. Weather permitting, SeaWorld’s holiday celebration gets underway this evening—think Santa, festive lights, and live reindeer. Lightscape also returns to the San Diego Botanic Garden in Encinitas, transforming trails into sparkling winter magic. And for art lovers, Art of Elan hosts a performance Sunday night at the Mingei Museum, featuring contemporary chamber music.

On the public safety front, San Diego Police report a quiet but vigilant past twenty-four hours, with stepped-up patrols in storm-affected neighborhoods. One arrest overnight near the Gaslamp for suspected break-ins; no injuries were reported, and police ask anyone spotting suspicious activity during the storm to call their non-emergency number. As always, let’s check in on our neighbors who need extra help with the weather.

A bit of good news: students at Hoover High clinched the city soccer title last night in a hard-fought match at Balboa Stadium, bringing the trophy home to City Heights for the first time in almost a decade.

Finally, in a feel-good story, volunteers from the Logan Heights Community Center distributed over three hundred hot meals yesterday to families displaced by last week’s apartment fire on Imperial Avenue. Their support is an inspiring reminder of what makes our city special—neighbors looking out for each other, rain or shine.

Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Thursday, November 13th, 2025.

We wake up today with big changes on the horizon. Forecasters warn us to expect scattered showers as early as this evening in North County, rolling into widespread rain by Friday morning. This is no ordinary drizzle. We're looking at a powerful atmospheric river arriving from the Pacific, bringing a real punch of wet weather to our usually sunny city. City Hall reminds us to make those storm preparations now—clear your gutters and check those flash flood apps. Rain is projected to linger through the weekend and possibly well into early next week. Flooding is a concern, especially in areas near burn scars and low-lying neighborhoods like Mission Valley and Otay Mesa. Temperatures will drop sharply, landing in the low 60s by tonight and barely breaking 70 degrees inland tomorrow. So, let’s bundle up and plan around the puddles.

There’s more from City Hall, too. The Public Safety Committee voted unanimously to allow San Diego police to keep using automated license plate readers for another year, despite strong privacy concerns. These high-tech readers, deployed since 2023, have helped lower auto theft across the city by over 40 percent, leading to several hundred arrests and helping solve violent crimes. The full council will revisit the issue in December, so expect debates to continue.

On the jobs and business front, Encinitas is watching closely as Just Peachy Market faces closure amid an immigration hearing for its longtime owner later this month. Meanwhile, we say goodbye to a true institution: Barrio Logan’s beloved Las Quatro Milpas will close its doors at year’s end after 92 years. The building was just sold, bringing a bittersweet end to one of our oldest family-run eateries. At the same time, there's some brighter news—new affordable homes for seniors opened in Southeast San Diego yesterday, welcoming dozens on fixed incomes to their first safe and stable apartments.

On the real estate beat, the rush to rent and buy remains strong, with median home prices holding steady near $860,000. That’s keeping realtors busy but also pushing some families to look for more affordable spots in Chula Vista, Lemon Grove, and National City.

Turning to community and culture, this rainy spell may dampen outdoor plans, but there’s plenty happening indoors. We’ve got live jazz at Balboa Park tomorrow night, the San Diego Film Festival rolling out red carpets downtown, and high school playoff football heating up all across the county—big wins last night for Cathedral Catholic and Madison High.

For sports fans, the Padres have started off-season training at Petco Park, with rumors swirling about a major trade deal for a new pitcher. San Diego State’s basketball team chalked up a close win against Long Beach, boosting hopes for a strong season.

Crime reports show a quieter night, although police are investigating a break-in near El Cajon Boulevard. No injuries, and officers made an arrest swiftly thanks to tip-offs from neighbors. We always appreciate when the community steps up to keep our streets safe.

If you need a feel-good story, look no further than Marine veteran Raul Espinoza, who was surprised with a free car yesterday on Pacific Highway. Local businesses and volunteers pooled together for the gift, thanking him for years of service and brightening his week.
