3363 Ocean Front Walk is the physical link in the lives of four individuals who crossed paths at the Mission Beach residence of Charles R. Magel, retired philosophy professor and animal rights pioneer. Many days were spent surfing at dawn in front of the house, sharing waves, skating on the boardwalk, watching the sky change colors at sunset, and sharing vegetarian meals with the Professor. The House, a classic San Diego beach shack built in 1954, had a living room view of the Pacific and breaking waves. It was a life-changing crossroad for many who entered its threshold and came to know Charley, discover yoga, vegetarianism, and a life-long relationship with the ocean. The 92 year-old professor passed away, the old house has been demolished, and another piece of Mission Beach history has disappeared. Fortunately, the memories will be safe as well as a long lasting friendship forged by those wonderful days at the beach. |
This is a California native plant I discovered the past week-end. I was impressed by the delicate mint-like scent and the deep green color of the leaves. This could be an excellent choice as evergreen groundcover for San Diego. It would do extremely well in coastal gardens. I accidentely found it thriving on the high bluffs of Encinitas, completely neglected, yet surprinsingly beautiful.
