OCEANSIDE: Art museum nabs an Orchid : North County Times - Californian
OCEANSIDE: Art museum nabs an Orchid : North County Times - Californian: "OCEANSIDE ---- The Oceanside Museum of Art was honored by the San Diego Architecture Foundation last week during its annual Orchids & Onions Awards.
The museum's $5.8 million central pavilion, designed by Frederick Fisher, opened in March. It is attached to the museum's former home, which is now its gift store. That building ---- Oceanside's former city hall ---- was built in 1934 by San Diego architect Irving Gill.
Of the Fisher expansion, the jury said: 'This slick, cool addition to a museum dedicated to regional artists is very straightforward with a minimalist approach that speaks of a refinement ... one of the most sophisticated buildings in North County.'
'Orchid' awards represent the best designs for architectural projects in San Diego County."

OCEANSIDE: First surf film festival a hit
The first annual Oceanside surf festival is done, but you can enjoy the fun still and get ready for the second annual surf festival at the following link:
OCEANSIDE: First surf film festival a hit : North County Times - Californian: "OCEANSIDE ---- Oceanside happily upped the ante on its Surf City status with a winning first edition of a three-day surf film festival that ended Sunday.
'It’s just amazing,' California Surf Museum President Daryl Dick said about packed screenings of new and classic surf films and a VIP reception with crowds that spilled into the streets during the inaugural California Surf Festival.
'We got a huge amount of press all over the world,' he added, citing headlines from as far away as Australia about the event, which Dick said he anticipates will be repeated next year."

New San Luis Rey River Bridge, Oceanside, CA
Finally... The new bridge from Oceanside Harbor to North Pacific Street outside North Coast Village is completed AND the old earthen "Arizona crossing" has been opened up to allow the river to flow (somewhat) freely to the Pacific Ocean. The views just keep getting better and better. We are looking forward to seeing what happens in the wildlife habitat restoration corner, and of course to the great surf break right by the breakwater.
In this photo, taken from North Coast Village "G" landing, the new bridge is in the right side in the middle, and the opening to the ocean is in the left side directly opposite. It looks like just a portion of the crossing was removed fully, and perhaps nature will take it's course on the rest.
