An ode to street art<\/h3>\n

I love seeing this work. It\u2019s special to San Diego, exciting, colorful and conveys a great street vibe. What I have seen so far is artistically charming. And varied!<\/p>\n

Celebrating homeless advocacy<\/h3>\n

Thanking you for this heads up on Feb. 21, but especially on getting out the good word on Martha Sullivan and Lori Saldana\u2019s energies in making San Diego a better place for all of us to live.<\/p>\n

Thank you for writing so humanely about my work with and for Unsheltered San Diegans, Cynthia! A small clarification \u2014 my work with Lori Saldana doing pop-up Cooling Centers for Unsheltered people was in 2016, not during Occupy SD.<\/p>\n

[Editor\u2019s note: Thank you for the clarification, Martha. We have corrected the online article to reflect that change.]<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

It was a joy to interview you for this story, Martha Sullivan, and to meet John Brady, too \u2014 and to talk again with Tony. There is hope on the horizon for true change. God bless you all!<\/p>\n

A warm welcome<\/h3>\n

[Ref: \u201cHello, Uptown,\u201d Vol. 10, Issue 3, or online bit.ly\/2o1EVbd<\/a>]<\/em><\/p>\n

Welcome, Sara! I so look forward to meeting you, and watching you continue to grow this great paper! When I was a staff reporter for Ken at SDGLN.com, he always told me the same thing that you mentioned he told you: \u201cHumanize, humanize, humanize.\u201d I always remembered this and it greatly improved my writing work!<\/p>\n

Hi Sara, welcome to your new position as editor. Yes, Ken did a great job and was always available and approachable in the Uptown. Now it\u2019s your turn, we are all looking forward to more great coverage as the community continues to thrive and grow here on the top of the hill. Again welcome, and best regards for your work ahead. Keep in touch.<\/p>\n

Rock on, Sara \u2014 I know your folks from the music scene, and live in North Park, as well! I\u2019m an old photographer (accent on OLD!), I\u2019m open to shoot occasional low-impact photography, if you ever need a stringer \u2013 you can find samples in Facebook, and if ya look real close you can probably spot your mom and dad somewhere in the archives! Best of luck!<\/p>\n
