Edinger Parkway Update

I was curious about the status of the Edinger project. You may recall from a previous post that a funding component was going before the City Council last Monday. While the council meeting minutes are not yet on-line, I found that you can easily access the section of the meeting where it was discussed via video (where it says "Jump To", be sure to select "City Council (Submitted by Councilmember Green)" near the bottom of the list). I think it's worth the 10 minutes of so to watch the video - you learn a lot about this project and how well the people leading it are received by the council - but I'll also give you the spoiler: the city has pledged a match so that we increase our chances of getting an OCTA grant.

I think it's important for residents to see where our councilmembers stand on issue - and this is certainly an issue that affects all of us who live at Seabridge. I was also interested to learn that the groundbreaking will be next month.

One final word: the Sea Isle Garden Club has done an outstanding job in leading this effort. You can continue to help with your donations, and with the lobbying effort. Be sure to check out how their passion comes through during public comments (jump to "Public Comments" under the video.

Rain!

E-mail readers, click title above to read the full story.

What a glorious morning! It's really true that you never seem to fully appreciate something until you've had to do without it. While the storm wasn't quite the monster they predicted and barely made a dent into our rainfall totals, the cleansing effect of the rain is a welcome start to our weekend. Whatever you're up to this weekend, I hope it's an enjoyable one.

A lazy Saturday morning gave me the opportunity to catch up on some writing and also play around with blog features. I hope that you'll enjoy the new slideshow to the left, and that you'll also find the new articles interesting and informative.

I've also made it easier to see the most recent comments (also on the right). If you enjoy this blog, your comments are the best "tips" you can leave. What features do you like? What suggestions do you have for stories? I enjoy having a two-way conversation on our community and why we live here.

657

E-mail readers, click on title above to read full story.

Well, it's official: we're getting a new area code, and it's going to be an overlay. So, none of us at Seabridge will be losing our 714 designation - BUT - if you get a new phone, it might have a 657 area code. And you will now need to dial all 10 digits of a telephone number, even if you and the person you're calling both have 714 numbers.

With my cell phone, I have been dialing 10 digit numbers for years, so I don't think it's going to affect me much at all. My biggest regret is that it doesn't spell anything cool.
