CNN devrait cesser Amerrissage Strombo Pour Anderson Cooper

CNN devrait cesser Amerrissage Strombo Pour Anderson Cooper
Le meilleur intervieweur à la télévision aujourd'hui est haut la main et sans aucun doute George Stombo ........ et malheureusement pour les téléspectateurs de CNN lui tient amerrissage d'Anderson Cooper.

Oui, Anderson est grand et il a récemment fait une entrevue brillante et inspirée avec Tuff-Antoinette, mais après l'avoir vu trois fois j'étais prêt pour George et avait planifié ma soirée autour de son spectacle avec Lisa Kudrow.

Ce serait bien si ils cesseraient d'amerrissage pour George Anderson Cooper - s'ils veulent montrer AC360 24/7 puis laissez-les jettent sur ​​quelqu'un d'autre pour George temps en temps. Thy've arrivé à réorienter leurs activités de Anderson de temps en temps - ou faire de la chaîne AC, puis une autre voie pour le reste d'entre nous avec Anderson seulement une fois par jour comme tous les autres spectacles. S'il vous plaît - il n'est pas le seul jeu en ville.

Si le lecteur n'est pas d'accord, je suggère à regarder George Strombo faire une interview et ensuite revenir à moi. Il semble véritablement intéressé et permet l'entretien d'hôtes ... beaucoup. Sérieusement, comment est rare que la télévision aujourd'hui? Si c'est votre personne préférée ... Larry King, Lisa, Tavis Smiley, Henry Winkler .. le spectateur va se retrouver avec intéressant et utile d'informations .... à droite, le client ne semble pas fatigué et usé et rote, comme souvent qui se passe dans ce genre de choses .... ok c'est mon prendre ce qui est le vôtre?

Je vous mets au défi de le regarder et de penser différemment. CNN a besoin de trouver leur tête et le mettre sur sur celui-ci. Je vous aime CNN mais ...... son temps pour une bonne ADD med ... calmer et s'en tenir à un calendrier.

PS - Antoinette Tuff est absolument un héros et devrait être salué par tout le monde - nous pouvons tous apprendre quelque chose d'elle. Elle est un bel exemple et je ne veux pas diminuer son gain de vie des étudiants et des réalisations de toute façon - mais suffisamment de Anderson, déjà.

CNN Should Stop Ditching Strombo For Anderson Cooper

The best interviewer on television today is hands down and without a doubt George Stombo........and unfortunately for the viewers CNN keeps ditching him for Anderson Cooper.  

Yes, Anderson is great and he recently did a brilliant and inspirational interview with Antoinette Tuff, but after seeing it three times I was ready for George and had planned my evening around his show with Lisa Kudrow.  

It would be nice if they would stop ditching George for Anderson Cooper--if they want to show AC360 24/7 then let them throw out someone else for George once in a while.  Thy've got to shift their focus from Anderson now and then--or make the AC channel and then another channel for the rest of us with Anderson only on once a day like all of the other shows.  Please--he is not the only game in town.  

If the reader does not agree I suggest watching George Strombo do an interview and then get back to me.  He seems genuinely interested and lets the guest talk...a lot.  Seriously, how rare is that in television today?  If its your favorite person...Larry King, Lisa, Tavis Smiley, Henry Winkler..the viewer will end up with interesting and useful info....right, the guest does not seem tired and worn out and rote, as often happens in these kind of things....okay that's my take what's yours?  

I dare you to watch him and think differently.  CNN needs to find their head and put it on regarding this one.  Love you CNN but......its time for a good ADD med...calm down and stick to a schedule.

PS--Antoinette Tuff is absolutely a hero and should be praised by everyone--we all can learn something from her.  She is a beautiful example and I do not want to diminish her life saving of students and accomplishments in any way--but enough of Anderson, already.

That's Messed Up...CNN Nixes Strombo Again!

Looking forward to watching Strombo Friday night on CNN with everyone's favorite Lisa Kudrow, but no.....CNN nixes Strombo again for reruns of AC and Piers Morgan....now those are good shows but they are reruns.....AC for the 3rd time!!!  When will CNN come to their senses and leave a good new show alone?

Stoney B Blues Band: Twilight in the Park, San Diego.....

Tuesday Evening--August 20, 2013

A very exceptional evening at Twilight in the Park, Balboa Park, San Diego, California Organ Pavillion:













Telling Tourists from Wales about San Diego........

there are maps of the bay all over the place

a very nice and beautiful lady from the information
desk gave Ronnie a bowl of water--
she said we just do that for dogs...

Information Desk at the B street pier
B Street Pier


midway--people eating at Fantail Cafe...
















near Grape and Harbor looking towards Broadway and the Midway
Trying to tell the Welsh About San Diego…….


Where to go, what to eat, what Mexican restaurant to visit and where to get the best margaritas…..


Well,  I think the best thing to do would be have dinner at Anthony’s the first evening--walk around the harbor at the foot of Broadway, the next day visit the Midway, have lunch at the Fantail cafe and maybe hit the Carnitas Shack on University Ave. in the afternoon on the way home from the zoo.
Midway Museum and Fantail Cafe on the back of the ship...


What do you think?


Well my friend said that was all wrong...Right, I know Anthony’s is full of seniors and can have a wait but I still think they have the best view of the harbor and the best fish and chips in town for the price.


Do the Walesers want fish and chips; isn't that already their specialty, anyway?


He said the foot of Broadway is all messed up due to improvements and it is not going to be done any time soon.  Why are they doing all of this ugly construction right in the middle of the tourist season?


He took the Hornblower dinner cruise around the harbor and said it was very nice but he has no idea in the world of the price (it must be nice).






Should I tell them about the world famous gay area in Hillcrest and all of the trendy and delicious restaurants in that beautiful neighborhood?



Should I tell them about all of the popular clubs in the beautiful Gaslamp--there are plenty of cafes in that area, too; not to mention  the Ballpark--do out-of-towners like baseball?  


Our city is so convenient because the downtown is basically right next to the harbor, it’s cool and not miles away like Los Angeles.  


Really, everything is right there close at hand, the harbour, the ballpark, the gaslamp, the airport…...and Balboa Park  is only about 5 minutes away--basically at the top of the hill.


The historic Santa Fe Train Depot is right across the street from the harbour on Broadway.

My friend said the best Mexican restaurants are right in Old Town starting with the Old Town Mexican Cafe and right across the street is the Coyote Cafe if one is too busy.  But what about Margaritas--I would want to be sure and have a really nice delicious, giant crushed-ice Margarita with plenty of salt on the rim--the really big good ones in a lush, cool garden setting.  Everyone at the dog park says the best Mexican food is Casa de Pico in Grossmont Center in La Mesa.  I think that may be too far for the basic tourist.  


Whatever, I don’t know why everyone isn’t talking about Las Cuatro Milpas in Barrio Logan for actually very authentic Mexican food--and the price is right, too--cash only please and there definitely will be a line out of the door at lunchtime.


My friend said he took the Duck Boat Tour with his sister and they really enjoyed it--why is he doing all of these tourist things?
pick up the seal boat at the Star of India


Okay--who knows the answers to these tough questions….I parked my car at the north end of Harbour Drive across from the east end of the runway, near the anchor in the middle of the road--where Laurel Street meets Harbour and walked to the Midway.  It was hot and exhausting, but plenty of free parking during the day.  The view was fantastic, the breeze was cool and there are plenty of things to see--the Star of India,  submarines, Hornblower tours, the Midway, construction, tourists speaking every language in the world and, sadly, some people without homes.


the Hornblower dinner cruise is about 115.00.

There are plenty of pedi-cabs for rent--about ten dollars per person--some take credit cards and some do not.
Miguel Martinez charges 10.00 per person--does not take credit cards


this is Miguel's cab--it looks like a good idea

the Fish Market is a Gorgeous restaurant right on the harbor and right next to the Midway and there is a cute little grassy park to rest under shady trees--Ronnie and I had to sit down and rest.
the fish market restaurant--the dog park says it's good


The parking was not a problem at the north end of Harbor Drive near Grape Street, but as you walk towards Broadway there is very few parking spaces available and they have meters which usually take only quarters.  It is about a 20 minute walk along the harbor to Broadway where most the the action resides--the walk is beautiful--it can be really hot or very cool depending on the temp and wind--always be sure to bring a sweater.
