<\/a>Tacos La Mezcla employee David Sias and his band Barnwell Shift played a set that night, as people lined up in front of Moreno\u2019s food truck to place their orders and enjoy a cold beer.<\/p>\n
A few strides down the street is business neighbor Plum Pottery (2361 30th St.), where South Park resident and writer Ron Argos held a book signing for his newly published book, \u201cThe Courage to Kill.\u201d Argo\u2019s book is a murder-mystery thriller with a premise based on the book \u201cThe Courage to Heal,\u201d which tackles the concept of repressed memory. After deciding the area of repressed memory \u201cwasn\u2019t explored enough in fiction,\u201d Argo said, he began his research to investigate the area and to eventually write a tale based on his findings.<\/p>\n
With a plot based in San Diego, \u201cThe Courage to Kill\u201d\u00a0 probes the \u201cdark mazes of recovered memories, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, betrayal and serial violence,\u201d a press release for the book said.<\/p>\n
Argo, a Vietnam War veteran, former journalist and writer, is not new to the art of the novel. His first book, \u201cYear of the Monkey\u201d published by Simon & Schuster, was first written as his thesis at San Diego State University while obtaining his master\u2019s degree in English literature. Argo describes himself as \u201ca Hemmingway type of writer, sweating out every word.\u201d<\/p>\n
Continuing with the Walkabout, I journeyed to 30th Street and met with brothers Tino and Sal Gonzalez, who co-own a new retail shop called La Cueva Nostalgia, located at 2209 30th Street. The store is filled with items ranging from cowboy boots, pictures, dolls, clocks, decorations and other nostalgia items, described as \u201cvintage, and objects of interest.\u201d Pieces are themed toward mainly motorcycles, punk rock and religion, and the brothers\u2019 primary buyers have been local artists and musicians. Their best customers yet are women, they said.<\/p>\n La Cueva Nostalgia\u2019s theme derives from what both brothers had in their garages. Tino Gonzalez owns the property next door to the store, and what was once his garage where they worked on their motorcycles and held band practice, turned into what is now their shop.<\/p>\n They said that they have both been in the South Park area for many years, and that with the opening of their new business, they hope to get back to the grassroots of the neighborhood\u2019s history of artists.<\/p>\n During Walkabouts, the Gonzalez brothers serve free barbeque sandwiches and host a number of bands that play in the front yard of the property next door. A few of the bands playing at this Walkabout were Juju Satori, Cumbia Machin and Creepxotica.<\/p>\n La Cueva Nostalgia\u2019s regular store hours are Saturdays from 3 \u2013 10 p.m. As they both have other full-time work, the brothers said to check in with them as to when they are open otherwise: facebook.com\/cuevanostalgia\/ or 619-857-1163.<\/p>\n All in all, the presentation from all participants that evening was impressive. From the warm street lighting to the colors and visuals, it is obvious South Park strives to celebrate neighbors and businesses alike, and is open to everyone.<\/p>\n The South Park Business Group\u2019s Luminaria Holiday Walkabout is Dec. 7, and will be in conjunction with the neighborhood\u2019s Luminaria Festival.
