A major story making headlines—San Diego International Airport just opened its T1 Parking Plaza, making travel smoother for thousands. The new facility not only eases the parking crunch but also represents a milestone as the city continues its trajectory as a regional hub. Meanwhile, UC San Diego has unveiled its new BEACON Lp(a) center, a cutting-edge research facility advancing heart health.

San Diego’s commitment to both heritage and progress is front and center.

For today’s human interest spotlight, let’s talk about Dr. Samuel Ortiz, a local physician who returned to San Diego after training abroad and has been spearheading community health initiatives in Barrio Logan. Dr. Ortiz’s free weekend clinics have made healthcare more accessible for hundreds, echoing the neighborly spirit this city is known for.

On the weather front, expect classic early summer in San Diego—temperatures hovering in the mid-70s along the coast with a gentle marine layer in the mornings and plenty of sunshine by afternoon. Perfect for getting out and enjoying the city’s events calendar.

The San Diego County Fair is in full swing at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, bringing together families and foodies from across the region. Broadway lovers can catch Moulin Rouge! The Musical lighting up the Civic Theatre, while the Fabletics Westfield UTC Grand Opening on June 28 promises giveaways and local flair. Music fans, don’t miss the Candlelight series featuring Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, or the Ocean Beach Chili Cook-Off for a taste of local flavor.

San Diego continues to rank among the top U.S. cities for climate action, and with our universities in the global top three percent, it’s clear we’re a city that cherishes both innovation and community.
