ParticipantI can’t say I have taken any.
But if I had to, I would take a photo of people hanging out in their garages watching TV. It’s a Clairemont thing.

LOL….. with rolled-down fishnet or tarp “sunscreen” over the door opening when the door is raised. The “partiers” can see out but people in the street cannot see in during the day.
It’s also a Bay Park thing :=]

ParticipantI haven’t taken any I’d include in a real estate shot. But I see a lot of listings in my ‘hood showing pictures of the play structures at Standley Park. I guess the realtors don’t think people realize that there are parks with play structures all over San Diego.
Lets see here are some ideas for alternatives:
– Pictures of the jet crash sight from a few years ago.
– Pictures of people eating at Lorna’s Italian food.
– Pictures of the old folks at what used to be called “Leisure Life” and now goes under the various names: La Jolla Del Rey; University City Village; and Town Park Villas. (All the same 55+ community at one time – now three separate owners.)Good thing I’m not selling. LOL.

ParticipantUCGal – you and I must live in the same neighborhood, since there WAS a shot (actually 2) of the play structures at Standley in the listing for the house I purchased last year. And yes, my first thought was a sarcastic ‘wow, there is a park in the neighborhood… I would never expect that in the suburbs.’ I’m speculating I would have found it even without a picture in the listing. That being said, with a toddler, I do go to the park a lot, so i’m glad it is there and it was a consideration in my purchase.

Don’t get me wrong – it’s a nice playground. And the rec center has awesome sports programs for the kids when they get to grade school age. (Little League, soccer, basketball, etc.)
Have you checked out the other parks with playgrounds in south UC? – there’s one on the west end – on Stresseman adjacent to the montesori school, and another on the east end, nicknamed “dinosaur park” – but technically knows as University City Gardens Park, at Governor and Gullstrand. When my kids were toddlers I liked Dinosaur park a lot. And the loop around the play equipment makes for good trike/bike/skooter endless loops.April 16, 2012 at 3:52 PM #741759desmond
ParticipantOK, this is a Snowman that was down on the corner from this weekend. I can’t add the image?

Participantstudents at my kids high school paint a little parking space mural on their school parking spot. some of them are funny; some are sweet; some seem very much a sign of the times. I was just telling him, I think I’m going to go take a photo of the parking spot murals every year, even after he’s graduated, and save them.
one i particularly liked was by some mormon girl, and it says, “everyone loves a mormon girl” with a picture of a sweet girl and her name.
maybe i can save them by year and provide them at reunions in ten or twenty years…
most seem hopeful…

I have been to “dinosaur park,” since we have friends with a kid about the same age as mine that live down there. Not recently though, so i’m thinking I should go back. How is parking over there? (i’ve only walked, but i’m super pregnant and not up to a 3+ mile walk right now). I’ve never been over to the park on Streeseman, which is a much shorter walk, so I might check that out soon.

ParticipantDinasaur park is nice – but like Standley – gets overrun with sports. Soccer, baseball, etc.
The parking is fine if there are no sporting events going on – but the lot fills up there are little league games or soccer tournaments. (Just like Standley.)The one on Stressemann has no parking, but since it isn’t a sports park – that’s less of an issue. It’s called Marcy Park because the Montessori school used to be a Marcy Elementary (a public school).
Good luck with the pregnancy… Hope it’s healthy & happy.
