This week on Livin’ in San Diego, Chris kicks things off with a good old-fashioned rant—soccer parents, ants, and why the ump cam just needs to stop.

We get into New, To Do, and Adieu

🎉NEW: A sweet new bakery in San Marcos.

TO DO: Jurassic Park on the big screen at The Rady Shell.

ADIEU: Saying goodbye to Heritage BBQ in Oceanside (now rebranded) or remembering the San Diego Zoo’s giraffe.

The main theme? Is Oceanside becoming the new Encinitas. From Fish Shop, Corner Pizza, Taco Stand, and Bier Garden to new projects like Beer Town, Slick City, and Shoots taking over Bottlecraft—there’s no shortage of reasons Oceanside is buzzing.
