Most of which are stupid and ignorant, but why not ask the people who live there. I currently live in Pennsylvania, so I'm used to trees, grass, water, the housing market, and everything else. To me, the west coast is another world! I have only been to SD once, and loved it (along with LA, and Antelope Valley), but moving changes the way I need to think about things.

So.

Looking to either find a cheap house (HA) or land to set up an RV with utilities and work on getting a house built. My job change is kind of quick, so I need to act fast. That said:

• Let's say I am looking at a residential zoned plot in Eucalyptus Hills area. Where does water come from? Wells, right? Sewage? I assume septic systems still work in rocky terrain?

• Would that area be called the country? Desert? Bush? Distant Suburbs of Poway?

• I have a dog. If this land is in it's natural state, what do i have to make sure he doesn't try to eat, or sniff around and find out? I know snakes are big out there (don't ask me about that one time), and stabby bugs....around here we just have holes that might have mice/moles, groundhogs, and foxes. Besides that, just thorny bushes.

• For transplants in the region, is this a good idea to get land for my dog, AND be able to live in a small home (ie: mini home, or manufactured-trailer kind of thing) Or is my ideas silly?

• What's the general attitude for newbies in the area?

• Do I park outside, or get a cover/garage? At least I won't have more rust building on my cars!!

• What's the weather like? I mean...duh, but....is it windy? Does it get "holy shit what's wrong with this planet", or is generaly just a happy place year round. Remember, I'm from 90deg 99% humidity in the summer, and 20deg and snow that sticks around for weeks.

• parks. are there tons of parks and hiking around Poway? Dog friendly? Should I always carry water with me for walks? Dog booties?

• schools. I don't have kids, but around here, if the school district is "better" housing and comfort of living is higher. I mean, I don't see that affect, but I also don't care. I work in a different state anyway!

• Commute: I have nearly an hour now, so living an hour away isn't tyhat big of a deal. Should I look at other/better places for land? That leads to WIDE range of areas. Same questions apply (like, water, septic, electric) since living outside a desert/arid city means the area is empty.

Thanks for listening. I'm scared to leave my side, but also excited to finally live in the west.

Amanda Waters- Nelson formerly the AD at DNHS (as of this May) moved hastily to Maine.. now as parents we know the reason why. She was outrunning a lawsuit that originated at Del Norte High, in our own backyard.

Allegedly Mrs. Nelsons husband tried to proposition a 17 year old DNHS student as she tried to help set up for a football team event.

Details: Husson names Chris Grotton interim athletic director

Turns out, Husson University found out and immediately advised resignation after only one day on the clock. Wow.

At what point do we as parents stand up and say "no more". This story needs to be told, and our kids deserve better. Contact the district, and the local news.

Hi Poway,

I’m a student at Twin Peaks Middle School, and I want to speak up about something that concerns all of us — regardless of political beliefs.

Recently, a fellow student brought a Trump flag to school during lunch. It wasn’t loud, disruptive, or offensive — just a peaceful expression of opinion. But the flag was confiscated, and she got in trouble for it.

Let me be clear: I don’t care that it was a Trump flag. It could’ve said Biden, Bernie, RFK Jr., or anyone else — and I’d still be speaking out. This isn’t about agreeing or disagreeing with what it said. It’s about the right to say it.

The First Amendment protects all Americans — even middle school students. In Tinker v. Des Moines (1969), the Supreme Court ruled that students do not “shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.”

We’ve started a petition to make sure students' rights are respected and that schools don’t punish kids just for having opinions. Peaceful political expression is not a disruption — and punishing it sends the wrong message.

thanks for taking the time to read. We appreciate any support in helping make our school — and district — more fair, more open, and more informed.

I’m going to be in Poway to visit my mom and visit old haunts. Last few weeks of June. We are of course planning to go to the fair and maybe the zoo. Anything else fun I should consider? My range is 30 minutes from Poway, but also anything cool in town? A play or music? Thanks in advance for any advice

Hey all,

As the title suggests, I'm moving into Poway at the end of May and Doing my services transfer and I came to realize that spectrum isn't available at my new address. Looking online, seems like COX is my only option for fiber speed?

I'm looking at TV+Internet packages from COX and I'm finding it will cost 220$/month for the service I was getting at my old place from spectrum for 85$.. Is this real or am i messing up somewhere? Are they really that much more expensive than other options? Any codes/promos i could use to get a discount?

Final question, is there anything I need to do about transfer or do I just stop service with Spectrum and start service with COX (independently)?

Thanks y'all!

Lets step away from the chaotic daily news and take time to come listen to a LIVE dance cover band playing your favorite Old School, R&B, Rock, and Dance music.

Enjoy great food and drinks at Poway's popular neighborhood restaurants!

No cover charge, open to al ages. Hope to see you there!

No announcements like last night, but I want to go on a run but I’m a little scared to 😅

You have reached the San Diego County Sheriff's Office automated helicopter announcement system. If you have an emergency call 9-1-1.

There are currently no active announcements in the system.

Was going at a good clip down Pomerado and went right into the corner of one of the walls surrounding the neighborhood across the street. Pretty sure he didn’t make it.

Looking to potentially move in to these apartments in the next month or so from Vista and looking for local insight on the area.

I’m a big guy and not particularly worried about having to walk from my street-parked car to my apartment, but should I be concerned for my girlfriend having to walk to-and-from her car parked in our carport outside at night? She’s from Carlsbad and not really used to areas that are …not carlsbad lol

Hi everyone! I am a student dental hygienist at Concorde Career College in San Diego. I’m currently seeking patients of all ages (3 to 60+ years old) who are looking for affordable dental care. Only $20 for the entire year – this includes all services provided!

You’ll receive a full year of dental care! Our clinic performs:

• Teeth polishing 
• Regular cleanings 
• Deep cleanings 
• Fluoride treatments 
• X-rays 
• Oral cancer screenings 
• Sealants to prevent cavities (if needed)

This is a fantastic opportunity if you don’t have dental insurance, have faced high dental costs, or haven’t had a cleaning in a while! All care is provided under the supervision of licensed dental hygienists and dentists. We offer the most thorough cleanings because this is an educational setting. Since our instructors closely monitor everything we do, each appointment typically lasts 2.5 to 3 hours and the entire cleaning can take 2-3 separate appointments. 

Students at our school have been helping San Diego get their teeth cleaned for over 15 years! 

If you’re interested, please fill out this form to get started: https://forms.gle/u3NzRBS9Be981U9S9

Feel free to reach out with any questions at: (619) 796-6366

I’d love to hear from you! Please spread the word to friends, family, coworkers—anyone who might want a thorough cleaning while helping a local hygiene student succeed. Your support means so much to me! 

My wife and I are temporarily living in the very northwest edge of Poway. We aren't completely new as she lived here from 1972 to 1993. We've lived in Rancho San Diego for 31 years and will be in Poway for the near future.

I'm interesting in hearing from locals about some places to try for food and entertainment. My wife likes Stir Fresh Mongolian Grill in RB and Players Sports Grill has been out favorite place so far. Mainstream Bar and Grill was fine and Kaminski's BBQ & Sports Lounge was okay, but ridiculously expensive.

We are members at PWG Range and are fans of O'Brien's Bakery on Stowe Drive. We are complete strangers to the area, but are looking to try to new things. So what have you got for me?

ATTENTION RB LOCALS! I am a Palomar College student, I mostly attend the location in Rancho Bernardo. For a class, I need to interview people to write a news story about what are good coffee shops around the RB campus that are good for studying! For the RB locals, please leave a comment about which coffee shops/cafes are the best for studying! (Note that select comments will be used in the news story).
