Besides surfing and the beach, nothing screams "Southern California beach town" more than skateboarding. It's amazing that the City of Oceanside not only has a few already functioning skateparks, but has plans to build more. This is clearly a city that understands that "skateboarding is not a crime", but rather a great past time (that this native New Englander cannot do for her life).
» Grindelines coming to oceanside Broken Magazine: "City staff, the Skatepark Ad Hoc Committee and the skate park designer, Grindline Skateparks, are currently working on the first phase of design for the two neighborhood skateparks at Melba Bishop Park and Martin Luther King Jr. Park. Each park will be constructed of concrete and will include a signature design unique to the location. The Melba Bishop Park location will have a “street style” design while a “flow” or “transition style” design theme has been chosen for Martin Luther King Jr. Park. These designs are chosen to complement the existing features at each site and will provide unique skate elements for users."

Good turnout for Oceanside antiques street fair - North County Times - Coastal -
It seems every time I turn around I've missed another great event in Oceanside put on by the Chamber of Commerce or by Main Street Oceanside. This time it was the 8th annual Antiques on Mission.
Good turnout for Oceanside antiques street fair - North County Times - Coastal -:" "This year's antiques fair, sponsored by MainStreet Oceanside, drew upwards of 25,000 folks strolling up and down Mission Avenue, on a stretch running from Horne Street west to Coast Highway.
It's a mellow affair, and even with 94 vendors ---- the most ever for the event, organizer Cathy Nykiel said ---- each booth boasted items different from the others, and included not just antiques but also arts and crafts.
Even live music fit in with that vintage theme"
There's always next year!

Oceanside Beach Clean in 17th Annual Beach Report Card by Heal the Bay
According to the North County Times:
By: BARBARA HENRY - Staff Writer
LA JOLLA -- All but one of North County's beaches got 'A' grades for overall water quality in the latest annual statewide Beach Report Card released Wednesday by the environmental organization Heal the Bay.
The exception was Cardiff State Beach at the mouth of San Elijo Lagoon -- it received a 'D' and was recognized as one of six 'bummer' beaches in San Diego County in the Santa Monica-based group's 17th annual report on beach conditions. "
Heal the Bay conducts research and assembles it in Annual Beach Report Cards. I'm happy to hear that most of the North San Diego County Beaches, including Oceanside, did quite well. Now if only my home town, San Clemente, could say the same...

San Diego Chargers Coming To Oceanside?!
The Chargers are coming, the Chargers are coming! Man I hope I get to say that soon...
Talks between the San Diego Chargers football powers and the cities of Oceanside and Chula Vista continue as the Chargers look for a new home when they leave Jack Murphy Stadium. I live just 30 minutes north, and haven't had a "local" team to follow since the LA Rams left the Anaheim Stadium for St. Louis more than a decade ago.
See the latest conversations here: Panelists: Chargers would be big investment - North County Times - Coastal -: "The Chargers have said they are considering Oceanside's 71-acre Center City Golf Course as a possible location for a new stadium. Two sites in Chula Vista -- one year that city's inland Olympic training facility and an aging power plant on San Diego Bay -- have also piqued the Chargers' curiosity. National City has also offered a bayfront site it owns."
