African wildlife in the back yard? I was eight, not stupid. The year was The place was my grandfather s Escondido home, which overlooked what felt like the world from Lake Hodges all the way to the hot air balloons at Del Mar. At the time, you had to take a dirt road to get there. Today it s freeway friendly. I was on tippy-toes, hoping, but not expecting to spot exotic animals through a rusty telescope. And what did I see? A mother-lovin zebra. The animal turned out to be one of thousands living at the Wild Animal Park. The memory is part of the magnetism that lured me here, to Pacific Beach, in I moved from the east coast into an apartment behind Vons, at Garnet and Ingraham. The 5 a.m. beep of those damn produce trucks reversing into the delivery bay will never leave me even now that Staples has replaced Vons. I landed a gig writing high school sports stories for the La Jolla Light for 50 bucks a pop. Next was writing press releases and being the $6-an-hour fileboy for Spike n Mike s Sick & Twisted Festival of Animation. Manifest destiny had gotten me pretty far, but not all the way to the coast. I needed mucho mas dinero to move west, up the alphabet, from Ingraham all the way to Cass or Bayard or so. My next apartment, though bigger, was still a solid quarter-mile from the sand. But it was in Pacific Beach, in Southern California, and that turns out to have been the whole point. In San Diego, whether you live a few steps or a car-ride away from the beach, you can wear flip-flops in January and sunburn your feet. You can learn a hundred words in Spanish, even if you re a gringo from Philadelphia. You can meet your wife at a gay bar (it was straight night, I swear) and live the dream that is Southern California, whether you re from Poway or Norway. Pacific Beach Magazine celebrates the beautiful life along the coast in Southern California. It s about trying to catch a glimpse of the zebra in the backyard to create memories that last lifetimes. Please enjoy this premier issue of Pacific Beach Magazine. If you live or work in Pacific Beach or Mission Beach, you received this in your mailbox for free. Your neighbors received copies, too. In fact, we mail 27,000 free copies (one to every single condo, apartment, house and business in the region) every single month. The magazine is also available countywide check pacificbeachmag.com. Thanks to my wife, my person, my rock, my Simone; to Donna, Marcia, Mike and Roger, for 13 wonderful years; to Rosemary for kick-ass design; to Kirsten, for her way with words; to Corey, the furn king; to Mark, the dry cleaning king; to Brad, the printing wiz; to Kim, for the spaces in between; to Mom, for my love of words; to Ed, for summers at the shore; to Ruth, the planet s sweetest Grandma; to the Captain, for being on board; to Joel, my unwavering buddy-brother; and big ups to Ann, my cosmopolitan karaoke girl, who made my dream come true.

So who s got the best hand-roll in town? Tough to say. But for great food, friendly chefs (Saul, Carlos and Adrian) and a killer vibe, try Kabuki. At Kabuki Sushi the rolls come to you. Small boats float around an oval, racetrack-like moat that encircles the sushi bar. Sushi chefs cut and roll inside the moat, then put the goods on the boats, which travel around the bar to you. Don t miss the boat grab what you want before it speeds off to your right and someone else reels it in. When you ve eaten whatever floats your boat, your plates are counted and your check is delivered. No surprises a picture of each plate and its corresponding price are displayed on the menu, so you know what your roll will cost before you download it from the moat. cafe japengo An upscale La Jolla restaurant.

Feelin hot, hot, hot!!! the hottest restaurants in pb... literally! frosty winters by the beach hardly call for a parka. But if you want to feel warm when the thermometer dips all the way to the 50s, spicy food may do the trick. Here are some local hot spots that will get you all fired up. Siamese basil Cheerful, casual North County favorite for fiery Thai cuisine. 527 S.

The chefs aren t afraid to get your mercury health stat Studies show that capsaicin, a chemical found in chili peppers, can relieve pain, help prevent ulcers and lower cholesterol by up to 27 % rising, but they also cater to those who can t stand the heat. Curries can be customized to suit diners spice threshold, from slightly hot to utterly scorching. 3 chateau orleans 926 turquoise street Almost as strange as it is spicy, the cuisine at this Cajun/ Creole joint is as colorful as the restaurant s Nawlins namesake. Bold diners can sample crawfish, catfish and alligator meat. Even more basic dishes can be beaucoup hot. Thankfully, entrees come with popover bread and cooling honey butter. 4 gringo s cantina 4474 mission boulevard It isn t hard to find good Mexican food in PB, but sometimes the nearest taco stand is no bueno. So, hooray for Gringo s, a restaurant that seasons its caliente cuisine with a dash of class.

18 voice taste style love home shape stuff groove think r e a l t o r q & a Linda Pasas, Brokermanager, Prudential Dunn The giant hole on hornblend street has finally been filled in. Get a move on what had been a vacant lot (behind 24-Hour Fitness, next to Frazee Paint) for years recently became an immense excavation, and is now subterranean parking for Avalon, an ultra-hip condo complex with 24 residential units and 13 ground-floor retail spaces, slated for completion by April. Exploding real estate prices have spurred developers to convert local apartment buildings into condo communities. Beach cottages are being reborn as multi-story residential masterpieces. Dirt lots are growing up to become sparkling additions to the coastal skyline. I ve been observing Pacific Beach for the last 20 years, says Mehran Saberi, president of Mayfair Homes, Inc., Avalon s development firm. I have seen rejuvenation due to the changes in the housing market and the economy. Priced from the low $500,000s, Avalon s posh two-bedroom/twobath condos will sport granite-andstainless kitchens and beach-and-bay proximity. Saberi hopes to fill the retail spaces with boutiques, extending a beautiful model kitchen at the avalon architect s rendering of avalon, hornblend street s newest lux address the Garnet Ave. shopping district one block south. People will live, shop and play on the same block, he says. The late Henry Hester, San Diego s modernist architect, designed 3200 Sixth Ave., the famous luxury apartment overlooking Balboa Park. It was the place to live back in 1959, says David Lorimer, Avalon s architect. With floor-to-ceiling windows, a flat roof and other mid-century influences, Avalon promises to be the 3200 of Pacific Beach. q: what about condo conversions are they a good buy? Condo conversions are a a: great investment for several reasons. Many are remodeled, so typically you ll see granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, new fixtures, new landscaping, and other upgrades. Most developments also come with a 1-5 year home warranty. And they re affordable as low as $169,900 for a 1 bedroom/1 bath, and $279,900 for a 3 Bed/2 Bath. Now is a great time to buy a condo conversion. There are so many great loan programs for firsttime homebuyers, which require little to no money down, and interest rates are still near their all-time low stats: median SINGLE FAMILY home price $870k median condo price $575k average ONE- BEDROOM MONTHLY RENTAL $1,322 For more expert advice call Linda Pasas: photograph by stacey millett.

24 PACIFIC BEACH MAGAZINE under GOES FOLLOW US BEHIND THE SCENES AT OUR CATAMARAN RESORT COVER SHOOT cover It s our premier issue. Our first cover shoot. We gotta get it right. We re planning early-morning makeovers for our models before we take them into the San Diego sun for the photo shoot on Mission Bay. Just one problem in a town that sees two rainy days a year, it s cloudy with a drizzle. Holy shizzle. Nervous? Us? Come behind the scenes with our crew to see just how edgy we are. The weather outside is frightful, but the indoor space is delightful. We re at the exquisite bayfront Catamaran Spa, where the staff are eager to help. We re waiting for the models to show up and praying to our respective gods for sun. Fortunately, we have hired star photographer Christa Renee, who has shot for Apple Computers, MINI Cooper, Roxy and Ripcurl. Christa glances at the ominous sky. No problem, she says, unloading her equipment. We breathe. We re relieved when our models arrive at 6 a.m., bright and fresh-faced even before makeup: Pacific Beach beauty Sydney Wheeler, a 22-year-old model for La Jolla-based Jet Set Agency and a local university student; and Geoff Stirling, a lanky 27-year-old actor-slashmodel with bay-blue eyes. I need some coffee, says Geoff. Coffee comes. We breathe again. Sydney and Geoff are in for a sweet surprise and they re getting paid for it. In addition to being chosen for the cover of our premier issue, they re about to revel in the amenities of the deluxe Catamaran Resort and Spa, a leading rejuvenation destination for tourists and locals. Geoff and Sydney trade street clothes for spa robes as they indulge in papaya facials, body scrubs and pedicures. As Geoff says of the rich fig-and-cucumber-scented atmosphere, It s all in a day s work. Although the sun never appears, our photographer shows us the light. Phew! We got it right. Check out the shots that almost made the cover... BUBBLE TROUBLE: No woman can resist bubbles. Sydney luxuriates in one of the spa s beauty secrets: a foaming milk bath that softens her skin.
