A tale of two swimming holes

How does one cool off on a hot summer day in San Diego? Perhaps the most obvious answer is to head for the western edge of the county. You know, the part with the ocean.

But maybe you have a couple of little kids who aren’t 100 percent crazy about kelp and crashing waves. And maybe you’re not 100 percent stoked about the prospect of finding a parking spot near the beach, schlepping 300 pounds of provisions and eventually spending hours cleaning sand out of said provisions, your minivan and your children.

What you need is a pool.

THEATER REVIEW: “Raisin’ The Rent” and singing the blues

Jean Lowerison - SDGLN Theater Critic
May 24th, 2011

When the landlord came knocking on the door in 1920s Chicago, people shy of rent money threw “raise the rent” parties.

Calvin Manson, the multitalented founder of Ira Aldridge Repertory Players, hearkens back to that phenomenon as theme for his latest show. In keeping with the theme, Manson is collecting each night – not for the rent, but for a different charity.

The setup of “Raisin’ The Rent” is that Mr. Kelly, owner of the eponymous Mister Kelly’s nightclub, plans to shut the place down unless manager Papa Du (Carl Overstreet) can raise enough money in 12 hours.
