Oh what a glorious time of year! My favorite way to describe the holidays is Merry Chrismahanukwanzakah and Happy New Year!
One thing I’m excited about is the arrival of Toronado to San Diego. One of the premier beer bars in San Francisco, they are now opening their first satellite bar in North Park. This bar was the inspiration for Live Wire. At press time the bar was hoping for a Halloween Grand Opening, but that has come and gone. So the hope is to have it open New Years Eve of sometime early 2008! www.toronado.com
