Here are the top five stories today in Oceanside-Camp Pendleton:
- KOCT recently interviewed each of the candidates running for the 49th Congressional District for the North County Roundtable Election 2022 Edition featuring hosts Kent Davy & Alison St John. In this fourth episode, host Kent Davy interviews 49th Congressional District Candidate Josiah O'Neill. (Oceanside-Camp Pendleton Patch)
- Oceanside has miles of beaches, an emerging craft beer scene and an epic weekly food festival. If the word "suburb" conjures up images of gated communities with manicured lawns and a Costco that's close, but not close enough, Oceanside, California is not that. The northernmost suburb of San Diego had, for years, barely been a blip on the road from Los Angeles to San Diego, with a downtown area that could politely be described as "unsavory." (Thrillist)
- Maverick and Goose visit Oceanside's Top Gun House. On Friday, May 27, the sequel to the Top Gun movie will finally be released to the public. CBS 8 is celebrating the much-anticipated movie with our own Top Gun Week. In this Zevely Zone, Goose and Maverick visited the Top Gun House in Oceanside. (CBS News 8)
- A 62-year-old man killed last month in a crash on I-5 near Camp Pendleton has been identified as a Los Angeles County resident, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office. Lonnie Maddox, who lived in Carson, was a passenger in a Jeep that crashed on northbound I-5 just north of Oceanside city limits on April 25, according to the Medical Examiner's Office. (The San Diego Union-Tribune)
- The Oceanside Public Library is hosting a new photo exhibit by award-winning multimedia journalist and U.S. Marine Corps veteran Amy Forsythe. The exhibit is based on her new book titled 'Heroes Live Here: A Tribute to Camp Pendleton Marines Since 9/11,' which chronicles the war memorials and tributes located within the sprawling military training facility in north San Diego county.
