The Daily Bagel
When I visit this little mall it’s usually to shop at Vons or to get chinese food at Shanghai Cafe. Lately I’ve been trying to visit more places within biking distance. I locked up my bike at the bike rack outside Vons and after picking up some groceries I visited The Daily Bagel.

I’m always looking for new ways to stimulate my dog, make playtime more fun or something to keep him busy while I’m gone.

The Balboa Bar & Grill
When a world ends, there’s always something left over. A story, perhaps, or a vision, or a hope. The Sandman – Neil Gaiman I remember the first time I stepped from the light into the darkness. Scent of beer and burgers was in the air. The Balboa would become my favorite place in town to get a burger.

Bowlegged BBQ
You can smell the smoke a block away. I lucked out and found parking along the street in front. Scent of smoke is much stronger now. I walked over to the side of the building and found the source.

Sunnyboy Biscuit Company
I like this part of town where Sunnyboy Biscuit Company is located. Richard Alf one of the founders of Comic Con opened up a shop named Comic Kingdom in 1975. It was one of the first comic book shops I frequented and the second comic book shop in town. My mom visited a friend who lived on Park Blvd across the street from where Sunnyboy Biscuit Company is. I convinced her I needed to stop at Comic Kingdom which was only a few blocks from the bus stop. I loved those trips as her friend usually had plums and peaches growing on her trees. My body and mind were well fed.

Surf & Soul Spot
I remember the first time over 20 years ago. I discovered soul food at Huffman’s BBQ. It was a 20-30 minute wait for the fried chicken as it was cooked to order. It was worth it as that chicken had a delicious crunchy batter and tender juicy meat. Sadly Huffman’s closed. I was excited to see Surf & Soul Spot opened on El Cajon Blvd. I’ve had many great meals on the boulevard. This place is tricky as the first part of the week they feature their surf menu and the later part of the week they serve their soul menu.

Residence Inn By Marriott / 10243 East Hampton Avenue Mesa, Arizona 85209
This place is immaculate, gorgeous and super quiet. Plus they accept dogs which is a make or break decision for me as my dog is my co-pilot.
