For many long years we lived right downtown OB or
a half a mile away from downtown. We ate
there, we shopped there, we had our cars tuned up there, and we had a lot of
fun and life there. Downtown, we had a
Safeway across the street, (which morphed into a badly run Apple Tree), a gas
station on the corner, and a Coronet in our block. Our focus was there, we had our stores there,
and we loved it.
Now we are a whole mile up from the beach, and our
local focus has changed. We no longer
have antique stores. We no longer buy
our gas locally, we go to Costco. We
get our fabric at Joanne’s or Rosie’s instead of at the Coronet. All of a sudden, the local restaurants have
changed too.
We have gone from one mediocre but popular Italian
spot up the street, now we glory in a real Italian restaurant down the street. No cookie cutter Olive Garden this newest
one. It’s new, but run by two Italian owners who
really care. The Yelp reviews for https://www.yelp.com/biz/cesarina-san-diego-3>Cesarinna>
are all five stars. We now have a hamburger place to try. There’s a Thai place on the other side of one
of the two Mexican spots. Also, we
discovered a pizza place.
We
are rolling in better than usual local restaurants. I who hate to cook could easily go broke
eating out. I could easily get
fatter. This is a bigger problem.

The Apple Crumble Pannacotta is killer good!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! That is making me so hungry. I used to go to Joanne's Fabrics when we lived in Illinois. I now have to go to Walmart. I miss Joanne's. It sounds like you've got a lot of wonderful places in your location now.
ReplyDeleteWe don’t have many nice places to eat here but we don’t mind. I prefer a sandwich made for a picnic in the woods than any fancy restaurant. It’s a good thing too. We couldn’t afford to eat out much.
ReplyDeleteI'd reach over the table for either one of those desserts!
ReplyDeleteI had Crème Brulee for the first time, but it wasn't cheesecake.
ReplyDeleteThose desserts are making me drool :-)
