Known as “The First Class Sultry Lady of Blues” Ruby has shared the stage with all the greats including Etta James, Junior Wells, Buddy Guy, John Lee Hooker, as well as the San Diego Symphony. But this Friday evening from 6-8 PM Ruby is bringing her sultry jazz and blues vocal stylings to Carlsbad’s TGIF Jazz in the Parks at Stagecoach Park.
We just thought you’d like to know. What else do you have going on this weekend (aside from smuggling in fireworks for Carlsbad’s annual Rogue Fireworks Display at Maple Street).

At approximately 2:30 PM July 5, 2007 a City of Carlsbad vehicle was involved in a collision with a white motorcycle at the intersection of Jefferson and Tamarack Blvd. The truck appears to have been traveling south on Jefferson when it came in contact with the motorcycle. The rider was strapped to a backboard and transported by emergency medical personnel.
We will have more details as we get them.

On June 26, 2007 we linked to a story on a Chinese automobile tire recall that listed K&D Tire Wholesalers LLC, of Carlsbad as one of seven tire distributors involved with potentially dangerous tires being sold by Union, New Jersey-based Foreign Tire Sales Inc.
Now, according to ModernTireDealer.com we find that K&D was not involved and has not sold any of the Chinese tires.
K&D Tire Wholesalers has not sold any of the Chinese-made light truck tires currently under scrutiny, says company CEO Dan Marsh. . . Marsh told moderntiredealer.com that his company “never purchased any of the tires involved. We get offers on Chinese tires all day long, but I don’t recall offering these.”
We’re just putting the record straight.

Carlsbad’s Phoenix Footwear Group, Inc. announced today that it has closed the sale of its Royal Robbins division to Kellwood Company (owner of Calvin Klein, Nautica, Phat Farm, Sierra Designs and many more) for approximately $40 million in cash.
The successful sale of our Royal Robins division marks an important inflection point in the development of our company. The proceeds from the transaction will allow us to pay down a significant portion of our long-term debt and provide us with a capital base to aggressively pursue our immediate growth initiatives.
Now Phoenix is only $13.7 million in debt. Wonder what they will sell to cover the rest?

On Sunday July 8, 2007 you can say goodbye to your peaceful mid-morning Tamarack surf as the City of Carlsbad shuts down the entire beach from the Cold Waters to Pine Street and turns it over to 1,000 lycra-clad, masochistic body-shavers and their significant others for the annual Carlsbad Triathlon. If, however, you enjoy watching people of all shapes and sizes jiggling around town in their underwear then this might possibly rank up there as the best day of your year.
The Elite Division dives into the surf at 8:00 AM with the rest to follow. For a schedule of the entire Carlsbad Triathlon and Health & Welness Weekend click the link below.

It was a classic Carlsbad 4th of July in The Neighborhood: overcast, then sunny. Cold, then hot. Parades, packed beaches, and streets with no parking. Around dusk four police cars rolled up to Dini’s sorting out a “misunderstanding between patrons,” while on the PCH a private label “custody transport” wagon cruised North then South praying for passengers.
Shortly after 8:30 PM the fire works at Legoland lit up the Southern sky while at Off-Shore Roger and Clarke entertained the sunset viewers with juggling fire and comedy. Hopefully, the evening won’t get too wild (a firecracker just set off a car alarm on Garfield), because remember: even though it feels like it, tomorrow is definitely not Sunday.

The La Costa Resort and Spa is losing the Acura Tennis Classic after 16 years, add to that the fact that this was the first year since 1968 that the resort didn’t play host to a PGA event and you have a dismal year ahead for professional golf and tennis in Carlsbad. The OC Register’s Randy Youngman has taken this as a chance to look back on all the great moments at La Costa and drop a little knowledge on La Costa’s new Legends Trail.
The most memorable tournament I covered at La Costa was the rain-shortened Mercedes in 1997, when the reigning Rookie of the Year on the PGA Tour beat the reigning PGA Tour Player of the Year in a one-hole playoff, in dramatic fashion. . . . The rookie’s name was Tiger Woods. The Player of the Year was Tom Lehman.
It’s good to know that La Costa holds so many good memories for so many people, because that mean the chances of more memories being created in the future are good. Youngman says there are rumors that the LPGA may be coming to La Costa in the future and La Costa’s new director of golf Dave Doerr said, “We would welcome them with open arms.”

When our friends Cec and Katie sent us an invitation to their neighborhood “4th of July Parade,” we honestly imagined a couple strollers with flags taped on and Cec in a Uncle Sam costume. We thought we’d stroll the neighborhood waving to strangers and write it off as performance art.
When we arrived at Terramar at about 11:20, however, what we found was a completely decorated neighborhood and a parade lead by a red Lincoln Continental convertible with floats, people in costumes, and Captain Mike Davis of the Carlsbad Fire Department behind the wheel of Carlsbad’s old-time fire truck. And yes, there was even an Uncle Sam in the march. We were overwhelmed by the sense of community, neighborhood pride, and America love. It made us damn proud to be Carlsbadistanians.
