  1. A woman's body was discovered on the grounds in front of the Oceanside Museum of Art on Thursday morning. "The passerby reported it at the fire station next door to the museum", according to Jennifer Atenza, the PIO for the Oceanside Police Department. "Fire staff came over and discovered the patient there along that pathway was already deceased. At this point, it's considered a suspicious death until the medical examiner comes out and advises further." (Oceanside-Camp Pendleton Patch)
  2. The Oceanside International Film Festival is returning to the Brooks Theatre on February 22nd through February 27th.

  3. The Oceanside Patch Foodie Friday feature. This week we're taking a walk around Oceanside with Carla and Linda's Walking Food Tours. The tours add a sense of adventure and fun beyond going to just a single restaurant. We hang out as a group and talk about the neighborhood as we walk along to each of the four restaurants on the tour. (Oceanside-Camp Pendleton Patch)
  4. The City of Oceanside decides to stick with Waste Management as trash hauler, rejecting a bid from Republic Services. The council voted 3-2, with Mayor Esther Sanchez and Councilmember Christopher Rodriguez opposed, to offer the contract to Waste Management. Sanchez and Rodriguez both said that Republic was a better deal, and they renewed their concerns at the council meeting Wednesday. (San Diego Union-Tribune)
  5. In the past week, a total of 29,508 lab-confirmed COVID-19 cases were reported in the region which represents about half of the lab-confirmed cases compared to the week prior when 60,548 COVID-19 lab-confirmed infections were reported. But increased deaths are a reminder to get vaccinated. (Press Release Desk)
