To: Seniors

With this year's elections everybody is going crazy about the 'old folks' and whether you can teach and old dog new tricks, etc. As opposed to the new wave that's here to save us, since it seems, everything that's been done so far by the 'old timers' has been wrong.

Personally, I rather have my mother taking care of me than my older brother. However, this column is not about politics (at least today) but about the current events happening in the City of La Mesa, more exactly at the Senior Center:

Senior Housing Expo - February 6th
A FREE event for mature adults interested in housing and care alternatives, property tax savings, granny flats, reverse mortgages, financing for residential options, home safety and security, assisted living and more.

WELCOME TO GG'S WINDOW TO LA MESA

I've lived in La Mesa for the past ten years, and I love it. The love affair began unintentionally as I would come to visit my sister, her husband, and my mother, in my trips back and forth from Alaska, New Mexico, Mexico, and Italy. One day I sat back and relaxed, and discovered San Diego's best kept secret: The cool weather. So I stopped the travel and began enjoying "my new found land."

I know there are other nice areas in San Diego, but La Mesa is not only centrally located, nearby to everything, and accessible, but also beautiful. There's a reason to be call "The Jewell of the Hills."

However, this blog won't be all about beautiful La Mesa, but also about how a City is sustained, maintained, well kept, or not. What their residents think, how authorities respond, how this community as a whole works.
