   Jim, my Dad, my best friend & I just got back from the game. The seats were SPECTACULAR! My Dad says thanks and we were all amazed. The Padres lost, but I was just in awe at how close I was to the action.

   Hopefully I’ll win the CV contest! My Dad is already seeking to get those…haha.

   It was a fun night.

   Anyone wanting to live near the beach should consider this house. Like JTR said you could actually limit the influence of the freeway noise on the terrace.

   I don’t know the deal with working with a trustee and how much of a pain that might be? No idea.

   It has a CRACKED Slab. Doesn’t that worry you? And, the power plant is trying to DOUBLE in size and be taller

   Although the structure looks salvageable, the lot is what you’re buying. Got cash?

   this would be a great lot for a modern prefab.

   Fabulous beach neighborhood–has a big July 4th parade each year–all the kids (ages 2-99) decorate their bikes, wagons, dogs (yes!), etc. Even Uncle Sam leads the way with a flag.

   Besides the public beach access across from Cerezo (aka “u-turn” for you older surfers, or “hole-in-the-fence” if you’re really old like me), for $100/year or less, you can also join the neighbohood association and get a key to the private gate on Shore Drive, with a BBQ and seating –all for owners only.

   Ahh good old “hole in the fence”.

   Great house JTR and the access is something else. Winter + Santa Ana + swell = Fantastic Sunday mornings!

   Thinking of selling wifey, bambino, house and dog so I can move back!

   Seriously?

   A crack that size?

   I wouldn’t give it a second thought.

   There are 2 immutable facts about concrete:

   1. It’s hard and brittle
   2. It cracks. It’s only a matter of time and location.

   Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

   Lol at that wall to wall plywood “studio”.

   On the other hand that is EXACTLY what I would buy for a snowbird destination if I had the means. That’s a full remodel with half of the dirty work already done and such a sweet location!

    I live just behind this house and slightly north, on El Arbol. It is, as shoppingaround says, an awesome neighborhood. We’ve been here since 1973, it was a beach home for my grandparents. The mural in this house might have been painted by the lady who owned our house, it was full of murals when my Grandparents bought it…you never know. :-)I wish that everyone would leave our power plant alone! It doesn’t distract from our quality of living here, indeed, if that acreage were filled with cars, tourists, and more traffic it would be worse! I hope that they build the new one AND keep the old one too. We need to generate power, darn it. The infrastructure to transport the power and cool the turbines is already in place, it works, and we can do another even more efficient plant without Environmental Impact reports or blasted red tape. Pardon my rant, but if we keep building new houses and retail, but remove what little power infrastructure we have (or push it out to the boonies) then we have only ourselves to blame when we have a problem in the future.
