McGee Park on Carlsbad Blvd. was host today to the annual Memorial Day party of The Carlsbad The Church of Jesus Christ Latter -day Saints and they were rocking out. We first heard them at the post office and followed their rocking sounds all the way to the park.
Happy Memorial Day!

Saturday morning gave Carlsbadistan beach goers a little taste of what is possible this weekend. But will the sun stick around or will the May gray return and cloud up the rest of the weekend? We’ll all just have to wait and see.

Okay, we actually like this one. The endless feathering on this wave is hypnotic. . . at least when those on-shores are blasting up Elm CVD. Nice work, Bryan.

The City of Carlsbadistan’s plans to replace 7,000 old high pressure sodium streetlights with new high-efficiency induction light may cut the City’s greehouse gas emissions from City ops by 20 percent, but according to a Michael Burge story in the San Diego Union-Tribune they could interfere with the stargazers at the Palomar Observatory.
“I don’t know what the new lighting fixtures will look like or how bright they are, but white lights are not friendly to research astronomers for a variety of reasons,” said Scott Kardel, public affairs coordinator for the observatory. . . Kardel said if the new streetlights aren’t too bright and don’t direct their beams skyward, they may not be as troublesome as the older streetlights. . . “Hopefully, they’ll be fully shielded,” Kardel added, saying he’ll look at some of the lights before Tuesday’s meeting.
More importantly, we’re hoping they won’t be shining in our windows and keeping us up all night. Follow the jump for the complete press release from the City.

Car Country Carlsbad is featured in a photo for a Reuters wire story today about GM shutting down dealerships. The photo shot by Mike Blake features a row of Hummers at Weseloh Chevrolet with the caption: “New Hummer trucks sit for sale at the Hummer dealership in Carlsbad, California, May 15, 2009.”
General Motors Corp said it would drop about 1,600 U.S. dealers as it struggles to slash billions of dollars in operating costs and debt ahead of an anticipated bankruptcy filing by the end of the month.
We’re hoping Wesloh isn’t on the list.

In the Battle of Aviara press release war over The Four Seasons Aviara, the Four Seasons management group has now upped the ante with the longest press release so far which is loaded with shots across the bow of BRCP HEF Hotel Tenant, LLC like this one:
As illogical as it may sound, the Owners have threatened to stop funding operations, including salary payments to employees, yet expect to continue to collect and hold revenues from ongoing operations. Under the management agreement, the Owners are obligated to fund all required working capital, including debt service payments. . . the Owners re-financed the asset in 2006, significantly increasing the debt service significantly and making it impossible for the Resort to service its debt level in the current economic downturn.
That seems to make sense. Follow the jump for the entire release.
