An eight-year-long battle between the Point Loma Association and a former motel owner over the presence of a billboard on the corner of Rosecrans and Garrison finally ended with the signpost being taken down on Aug. 24. “It was a Long haul on accomplishing this goal,” said Realtor and former PLA president Robert Tripp Jackson, who spearheaded the drive to have the billboard removed. “It was much harder than the other billboards removed during the past 50 years.”\u00a0

\nThe old Dolphin Motel\u2019s four existing buildings were demolished earlier this year. They will be replaced by a new 49,150-square-foot, 92-unit, three-story hotel. The new structure is being constructed over a basement garage on the 0.57-acre site at 2912 Garrison St.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
