Nothing shows that the economy has turned around and local business is looking up more than the arrival of a new massage location in the Village of Carlsbadistan.
Oceana Massage, conveniently located at 2815 Roosevelt St. in the heart of the Village, is sandwiched between Rock n Sprouts childrens’ clothing store and the Carlsbad Danish Bakery in the location that was previously home to Michel Petite Spa & Skin Care Gallery.
According to their “therapeutic services” posts on Craigslist Oceana offers “Swedish, Shiatsu Deep Tissue, Hot Oil Relax Massage, Chinese Traditional Massage, and what we’re guessing will be very popular, their “Unique Chinese Hot Tub.”
Oceana Massage is open seven days a week from 10 AM to 10 PM. Be sure to ask for their grand opening special of “$5 off on Reflexology.” For more information call: (760) 730-3380.

After numerous legal hurdles it appears that the Carlsbad Unified School District is about to begin construction on the new Carlsbad High School, according to a Stacy Brandt story in the North County Times.
The Carlsbad Unified School District board of trustees will vote Wednesday on a contract with a San Diego-based construction company to start work on the 57-acre site in eastern Carlsbad. . . Superintendent John Roach has recommended the board approve the contract, which would pay Barnhart-Balfour Beatty $6.7 million to grade the site, install utilities and extend Cannon Road. . . “The community has been waiting for this, and we’re getting more excited believing it’s closer to becoming a reality,” Roach said.
Now, if the City could just start on that new skatepark we’d be pretty well satisfied.

Carlsbadistan’s mayoral candidate Glenn “most independent candidate in America” Bernard, is spending this morning (Tuesday, September 21, 2010) personally reminding patrons of Carlsbadistan’s public The Lossings at Carlsbad golf course to “Please Patronize Private Courses Only.”
So far we have no evidence that any golfers have tee’d off on him. Last we saw, he was peacefully working a crossword puzzle and smiling to golfers as they drove in the course’s main entrance.
The Lossings At Carlsbad has been nothing but a drain of City funding since opening in August 2007.

It will feature the best of the best – hundreds of nearly new volumes that have been culled from donations to the Friends of the Library bookstore throughout the year. . . “This year’s selection is outstanding,” said Devora Lockton, coordinator of the event, as she prepared items for the sale. . .

A 37-year-old man who Carlsbad Police say “failed a field sobriety test” crashed his car into the jetty at end of the Tamarack Beach Parking lot on Wednesday night September 15, 2010, according to story on SignOnSanDiego.
The officers were on a call at 11:37 p.m. when a Ford Explorer came speeding into the parking lot at the end of Tamarack Avenue, said Carlsbad police Lt. Matt Magro. . . The SUV sped past them and headed toward the jetty at the south end of the lot without slowing, Magro said. It then hit the embankment and went up and over the rocks stopping just feet from the water.
Kind of hard to believe we missed getting a photo of this unnamed off-roader.

Is the California State Parks trying to close those budget gaps by renting out our Tamarack Beach parking lot to out-of-state companies for private parties?
A “corporation from Tennessee” has reportedly flown out their 1000 plus employees to stay at the La Costa Resort & Spa this week. All day Monday and possibly Tuesday they have purchased the right to close the parking lot for their event.
Guess the State of California has to make money somehow. Wonder if this “Tennessee” corporation is going to serve alcohol on the beach at their party? Out of glass containers? You know, in violation of California State Law.

Carlsbadistan’s Pacific Ridge School celebrated the official opening of their new 32,500-square-foot high school building on August 31, 2010 and it seems like everyone was there.
. . . more than 800 students, parents, faculty, community members, and local constituents gathered for a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of the school’s new 32,500-square-foot high school building. . . With global engagement and ethical responsibility as cornerstones of the Pacific Ridge School mission, the building was designed to be environmentally friendly and sustainable. The green project design features passive air conditioning methods, passive light shelves, Crestron lighting controls, solar tube skylights, solar shading, roofing reflectance techniques, bioswales, and a number of other green building and site components.
Nothing but the best for Pacific Ridge. Maybe if we keep playing the lottery we’ll be able to send our kids here someday. But then we’ll just get dinged with four years at Stanford, Harvard, or Yale. Follow the jump for the official release.
