SAN DIEGO -- The San Diego Human Dignity Foundation launched a new spring event on Saturday, June 9, reuniting the organization’s past and present founders, donors and board members in order to acknowledge several community recipients of the foundation’s philanthropy. Called the Reunion Party, the event was celebrating the organization’s 16 years of philanthropy and was held at a private residence in Mission Hills.

SAN DIEGO -- With the hopes of creating a cohesive identity, the restaurants on the North end of India Street in Mission Hills have begun branding themselves as International Restaurant Row (IRR). Banners and signage are coming soon for the newly minted restaurant district.

SAN DIEGO -- Mission Hills and Hillcrest residents will once again have another grocery store to choose from, with the reconstructed Vons supermarket opening later this week.

Under construction for the past 11 months, the new store at 515 W. Washington St. will open at 3 pm Thursday, March 29, following a ribbon- cutting ceremony.

Safeway, the parent company of Vons, has owned and operated a 12,000-square foot store at this location since 1958, but the original store’s size and layout prohibited them from carrying more products and expanding services.
