Daily Dose: Friendly Grounds Coffeehouse to Close

If mobile home rent affects you, there is a special meeting about Meadowbrook rent ceilings, news about a local business closing, and more events.

Neighborhood Hub to Close

About ten months after new operators took over, the Coffeehouse is on Nov. 19.

Reverend Barry Sappington, of the Crosspointe Life Church of La Mesa, , but the church's board of directors recently decided they could no longer afford to lose money on the outreach project.

The closing comes almost three years after the coffee shop, a hub of local entertainment and activity in , was originally opened by Pat and Gary Craft.

Events like the acclaimed ", , and religious activities will be losing a comfortable space with affordable food and drink.

There is no indication of what may fill that storefront, but during the last transition there was talk that coffee and small food sales couldn't keep up with the rent costs of such a large shop.

Cowles Rescue

A woman hiker with a broken ankle was hoisted from Cowles Mountain Wednesday night, a San Diego Fire Department dispatcher said.   

Firefighters were sent to the location at 8:37 p.m., the dispatcher said. It was decided to use a helicopter to bring her out.

Anyone else recommend a Santee family owned business that's outside the city?

No drop down menus, just click the header links for more options. For story categories click newsRead More and look on the left hand column. I know the redesign will take a bit to get used to, but I really think it will be a better site for community engagement, and easier to use. Feel free to post your feedback to the redesign on the boards, I'll check it out and respond, but you might also send your feedback straight to Patch headquarters with this form- http://feedback.aol.com/rs/rs.php?sid=patch Engineers will be furiously tweeking the new site based on your suggestions.

The new format from my iPad is very boring. Where are the drop down menus?

this is why the battlefield has changed temporarily from the political arena to the Energy Arena.Read More Co Gen Tricks and the usual suspects are making their big money bet on two inevitable facts that will force the hand of the CPUC and CEC to place a new gas power plant somewhere in the area. 1) the Electric Vehicle Mandate. 2) voltage support (power factor) needed by the industrial wind and solar farms in the desert. There is more to what meets the eye with the aggressive push by the usual suspects to cover our open spaces in the East County with these poorly sited RE projects. More wind and solar farms means more gas power plants. There is only one way to fight the destruction of our open spaces, and that is with roof top solar, conservation, energy efficiency and community owned energy districts. The fisrt thing that needs to be done is the City of Santee exempt residential scale PV installs from needing a building permit. Australia, Germany and the State of Vermont do not require a Building Permit to install PV.

Well said Stephen! Knowledge is TRULY power! The fight is not over! Cogentrix is just onceRead More again playing their wait, wait, wait game in the public eye and playing their lobbying game behind closed doors.
