Bird Rock Morena Reopens:
I got the word via their website. The Missus was happy….Bird Rock is Her favorite.
Perhaps being closed for a few weeks actually helped this location of Bird Rock….of course we missed their coffee, but the place was undergoing renovation anyway and this is what it looked like a few weeks back.
Now let's forward the calendar a bit……
Pretty spiffy, eh?
I was a bit confused at first; but you just follow the yellow lines……
Lot's of plexiglass dividers up. Currently cashless transactions and limited hours. The crew here is still wonderful to work with.
And the Missus got Her "Geisha" pour over, not cheap at $10 a pop….but it puts Her in a better mood…..which is priceless.

The Missus is happy to have them back.
Is the Sandwich A'Fare Closed?
I'd been doing phone orders from The Sandwich A'Fare about every other week since mid-April. So, I became a bit worried when I called and got a weird message that went something like "all routes closed". It seemed very strange; so I drove on over and the Sandwich A'Fare looks like it's closed.
Which would be a bummer. I have a soft spot for these little Mom-and-Pop sandwich places.
And where else in the area can you get a decent sandwich for $6.25????
I'm certain the location….hidden in the back of Miramar Center doesn't help things…..
I just Googled "Sandwich A'Fare" and it says permanently closed.
Sad……

Speaking of sad……
I went by Clairemont Town Square a few weeks back…..to grab the Missus a croissant from Arely's and some cash from the ATM. I'd heard that Troy's Family Restaurant had closed.
Even though I wasn't a big fan of the place; I believe that every neighborhood needs a place like Troy's or Perry's or Rudford's…….places like those are like the roots of a neighborhood, they keep things anchored in place, nourish it even as it grows and spreads out to the sky and replenishes the fruits that grow above. It's a place of cherished memories…..
It's quite sad….and oh my, the notes taped on the windows and doors.
I feel the pain.
After all, I read that a favorite of mine from small kid time, a place I cherished, Like Like Drive had closed after 67 years.
Not much else to say really……
