A different view of RDO/78 interchange

September 21st, 2005

Rusty Harris left out a key fact about the Rancho Del Oro interchange story. The 78/RDO interchange was planned when the area between Vista Way and Oceanside Blvd was zoned industrial many years ago.

August 9th, 2005

The Summer Jam was a decent time - the shirtless guy mentioned in the article was actually there the whole time, dancing. Even when there wasn’t any music :) . I wish NCT had mentioned the little karate kids demo as they were one of the highpoints of the show though. I […]
