This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Just got back from there. by beancounter

We stayed at the Springhill Suites bayfront, basically across the street from the Midway and the Coronado ferry, and loved the location. We walked everywhere from Little Italy to the convention center to to the airport (on a morning jog, it’s just two miles away.). I loved being able to look out over the water with my morning coffee. The Midway is good, Balboa Park is worth checking out, particularly the Timken Art Museum which is free. The zoo is, wait for it, $54. We skipped it.

We thought the Gaslamp district was horrifying. Very glad we did not stay there.
