Yakitori Koubuo (???):
I noticed some construction going on a couple of doors down from Tsuruhashi, you know which one, right…. 3904 Convoy where Izakaya Sakura and The Original Pancake House is located.
The notice said that the business name will be Yakitori Kouba…… sounds interesting! Anyone hear anything about this?
Pho Cali and Grill:
Is what the coming soon sign says in the strip mall at 5375 Kearny Villa Road:
This is the strip mall where Golden City is located.
Is that your duck?
Trying to keep the pounds I lost in China off, I decided to walk the couple blocks to the drug store instead of driving. Passing a big apartment complex, something caught my eye…… and I did a double, then a triple take…..
At first I thought someone was playing around with one of those duck decoy things….. but as I approached the duck warned me off with a vigorous "wack – wack". It was a real duck!
I then saw a woman unloading some groceries from her car and asked what is probably the dumbest question of the week (though it's still only Wednesday), "excuse me, but is that your duck?" The woman rightfully gave me a weird look, then she saw the duck, and laughed, "oh them, there's a bunch of ducks that fly up here every summer and hang up by the swimming pool….. his girlfriend is somewhere around here…" I wasn't sure if the woman was kidding me….. we've been living in this neighborhood for seven years, and I swear, I've never seen a duck. Just then I heard another "wack -wack", and I'll be darned, it was a female duck hanging out under some hedges…… I'm still not convinced that these aren't someone's pet…. but in an apartment complex? I'm confused… have any of you heard of flocks of migrating ducks hanging out around swimming pools in San Diego???? Was the woman pulling my leg???
