Our Neighborhood Stories – Mission Hills
3:00pm (note time change)
Join local authors of Mission Hills, Images of America, Allen Hazard and Janet O’Dea, as they provide commentary and insight about this stunning architectural community as it developed. In 1905, George Marston, a San Diego civic leader, commissioned urban planner John Nolan to implement a development plan for the city. Nolan’s plan, however, was never adopted. In 1908, as if to prove what was possible, Marston’s syndicate formed the restricted subdivision of Mission Hills. Then in 1909, the city announced plans to celebrate the opening of the Panama Canal. The fuse was lit and the boom that followed brought builders and skilled artisans to San Diego. As it was built, Mission Hills became architecturally magnificent.

Poetic Legacy II
6:30pm
Coordinated by published poets Pat Andrus and Christopher R, each workshop focuses on one poet, including the reading of several poems by participants (remember that poetry was originally meant to be heard). After this round robin of reading and listening to various poems of the selected poet, everyone has 15-20 minutes to quietly write their own pieces of writing, inspired by a title, line, or just from soaking in the words heard and read.
Finally, anyone who wishes to share any or all his or her writing, is encouraged to do so.
