• Free blues concert draws packed crowd to Hidden City Sounds (times-advocate.com) — Escondido's California Center for the Arts drew a standing-room-only crowd for a free Hidden City Sounds blues concert that spilled into Grape Day Park.

• San Diego County will stop letting federal immigration agents train at local firing ranges (thetimes-tribune.com) — San Diego County just voted to stop letting ICE, but not necessarily Border Patrol, train at its firing ranges, a move that affects Escondido residents as part of the county.
