This report provides a snapshot of La Jolla’s Maintenance Assessment District (MAD) operations for the first three months since maintenance work began. It has taken MAD and its vendors all of this time to finally get a handle on so much deferred maintenance in The Village. But, we have turned the corner and are now focusing on the routine activities that will ensure a visibly cleaner and fresher look in town. As work progressed during this period, we noticed two issues that became more and more evident as time passed.
Not all New Year’s resolutions are about losing weight. We asked nine La Jolla community leaders to share the top three goals for their organizations — and for La Jolla — in 2020. Here they are in alphabetical order by organization: Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, Bird Rock Community Council, Enhance La Jolla, La Jolla Community Center, La Jolla Community Planning Association, La Jolla Parks & Beaches, La Jolla Shores Association, La Jolla Town Council, and La Jolla Village Merchants Association.

Last weekend in The Village, I noticed a crow hop across newly laid sod, lift a corner with his beak then check underneath for worms. After a nice long look, the crow dropped the heavy sod back into place. He was unsuccessful. But it was remarkably good thinking. His unorthodox hunt for food caused me to pause. I remembered back to another memorable moment involving crows. Scientists have long recognized the intelligence of crows. Crows and ravens have been seen using tools. But would they assist a human in distress? You be the judge ...

The owner. A fellow La Jollan.

Welcome to Auntie Inga’s Curmudgeon Hour. Grab your preferred beverage and sit down while I whine again about why life has just gotten too perplexing for me. Recently, for example, I wanted to attend a fundraiser only to discover when I went to buy a ticket online that the only type of payment accepted was PayPal. I e-mailed the agency in charge of the fundraiser whose solution was that they would help me set up a PayPal account. This was not what I had in mind.
