Today's riddle: What did the tree say when Spring arrived? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• After layoffs, Institute of Contemporary Art San Diego faces internal review (sandiegouniontribune.com) — ICA San Diego, which operates a campus in Encinitas, is under internal board review after major layoffs and staff accusations of financial mismanagement and delayed payroll. The museum's leadership is under pressure from a "no confidence" letter, while ICA says its Encinitas North campus remains open for classes and the Sculpture Trail even as Balboa Park operations are temporarily closed.
• Someone San Diego Should Know: Davinder Kaur (sandiegouniontribune.com) — A survivor of a forced marriage who later settled in San Diego once ran her own restaurant in Encinitas for nine years before selling it and earning a business degree. Now living in Escondido, she shares her story through advocacy, public speaking, and an award-winning memoir about resisting family pressure and championing girls' education and freedom.
• The Best Things to Do in San Diego: September 2026 (sandiegomagazine.com) — San Diego's deep skateboarding culture is thriving, and Encinitas is now exploring its own skatepark or skate feature after the City Council formed a 12-member Skate Feature Committee in July. The story follows local pros, nonprofits, and rising athletes to show how skateparks, funding, and community support are shaping the region's next generation of skaters.
