SAN DIEGO – Look, up in the sky, it’s a bird, it’s a plane … no, it’s billboards of the kind you’ve never seen before in San Diego.

Starting today, three billboards celebrating FilmOut San Diego’s 15th annual LGBT Film Festival will be on display for the next month along University Avenue in North Park and Hillcrest.

SAN DIEGO – City Council President Todd Gloria today commented about the Mayor’s proposed changes to the Plaza de Panama area of Balboa Park.

“I have consistently favored the removal of cars from Balboa Park’s Plaza de Panama. Because Mayor Filner’s proposal partially accomplishes that vision and because the project would implement a temporary change, I believe I can support the requested $300,000 appropriation during the budget process,” Gloria said.

A new GOP poll tested former San Diego City Councilman Carl DeMaio, an openly gay Republican and potential congressional candidate, as a “new generation Republican” in the highly competitive 52nd District.

DeMaio, who ran unsuccessfully for mayor last year, posted solid favorable ratings. He led freshman Rep. Scott Peters, D-Calif., in a hypothetical general-election matchup.

SAN DIEGO -- Congressmen Scott Peters, County Supervisor Greg Cox, San Diego Mayor Bob Filner and Santee Councilmember Jack Dale will ride bicycles on Wednesday from Downtown to the San Diego Bay to launch Bike Month in the county.

The event is being organized by the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition and SANDAG.
