Seeds in the City: Dealing with critters (0)
8:02 am •
By Karen Contreras — SDUN Columnist
I never realized city dwellers have many of the same challenges dealing with critters as we did living in the country, miles from town. I suppose things are slightly different in the city. For example, chances are you won’t find a black bear in your apple tree, but then again the 12-year-old neighbor boy can do just as much harm.

By Ron James — Editor-in-Chief
The Uptown restaurant scene never ceases to amaze me. You would think that in a shaky recovery, folks would be a bit gun-shy about opening a new business or expanding their operations.

Restaurant review: Pomegranate (2)

By David Nelson — SDUN restaurant critic
At Pomegranate, the writing is on the wall – and on the ceiling, as well as on the personal checks some guests write to pay for dinner (does any other local restaurant still accept them?). Cash also can be traded for the restaurant’s Georgian-oriented cuisine; note that this Georgia is not the Peachtree State, but rather the former Soviet republic whose cuisine reputedly is the most refined in the Russian sphere.

In North Park, Councilmember Todd Gloria joined community members and other city officials Feb. 26 to break ground for a new 6,000-square-foot playground at Montclair Park, 2791 Nile St. The $346,000 project – financed with city funds and insurance settlement funds – will create separate active areas for toddlers and older children, including swings, slides, and climbing walls. An ADA-compliant rubber surface will feature images of sun, leaves and sky. The park has been without a playground since a drunk driver damaged the site in 2007. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of June.
