I’m late to this post but had to chime it…Welcome to the Club :>)

I’ve got a Beretta 9mm and I bought a .22 Revolver for my mom. My mom refuses to buy ammo for the .22 so I’ve been thinking of asking her for it back so I can teach my daughter to shoot w/ it.

I got the Beretta back in 1993. Lots of friends were buying Glocks at the time – never understood that one. Took a class through Mesa College down at the SDPD shooting range off 94 @ Home Ave. (what is that neighborhood called?) It was taught by ex-cops – I figured if I learned the rules from them I couldn’t go wrong. Got into a nearly disasterous discussion w/ one instructor when I asked him about the “clip” and he told me “a clip is something you put in your hair – this is a magazine honey” – I pointed out a magazine is something you read and I think he almost shot me ;>)

I used to shoot at Discount Gun Mart on Morena over by USD…anyone been there lately? I’ve been wondering what the minimum age is…

Last year in Santa Fe we shot skeet and that got my daughter hooked….figured I’d better train her now how to handle firearms safely.

As to home safety….We’ve got a pack of angry Chihuahuas….I swear these little dogs scare people more than knowing I have a gun would :>)

I was going to start a new topic on PQ/Torrey Highlands today but saw this and thought I’d tag along…

I have a couple questions for those in the know. We’re not buying, it’s just me being curious.

We moved into the townhomes here a couple months ago and walk the dogs over in the area by that Via Canyon place. There are 12 homes in the neighborhood w/ For Sales signs in the yards, including one w/ an Auction sign in the yard. Not to mention a couple homes that look deserted w/out signs in the yard. When I checked zillow (I know, not the best yard stick), not one house is listed for sale in that area. On SDLookup, I don’t see any others in that neighborhood listed either.

Are homes only being listed in MLS to keep them off the radar of the buyers, are these old listings where the sign people just have not collected their signs, is it a cost issue (do agents have to pay to list on zillow or SDLookup?)
I was trying to figure out what the homes are going for these days but haven’t seen closed sales since most sold in 2003. Will the Via Canyon one be the new price to beat when it closes?

Second question is, what the Harley is going on on Camino Del Sur north of me, kind of across from Westview and north-ish from that neighborhood where Via Canyon is ….Large earth moving equipment is clearing what look like house lots – and lots of them. It looks like someone has started back up a building project. Seriously? It looks like they could cram another 40 brand new homes in that little pocket – 40 homes that will need yards and window coverings…Guess everythig is okey-dokey with the economy and we are running low on houses again and people are flush with cash to go buy new home decor – time to buy some Home Depot stock?

I’m so confused…guess that’s why I’m a renter ;>)

Another area I’m intrigued by is a ‘hood called Verazanno in Santa Luz….It’s a little “Stepford Wives” but I kinda dig the garden parks and the way the homes all face out while garages are tucked away in alleys….I think there’s a bit of a “Pain Train” (thanks TG) coming through the area
though as more than a few For Sale signs have sprouted in the yards with the Spring season….Anyone here follow that area? I imagine wicked mello roos and HOA’s.

Hey SD R,

Sorry we had to leave Scripps. We liked our neighbors in Wine Country and Renaissance (Sp?) but the treck to work for hubby and the rent for a SFH got to be too much.

I’ll be watching for the day you post you’ve entered escrow :>)

Hi Harry,

We just moved into the area you’re talking about.

Nearest I can tell there are two condo developments (Cortina and Bellarado) and one apartment complex in here. The Cortina units and Bellarado units are mixed in together into row home looking things w/ front stoops and garage alleyways.

Our unit is a Bellarado “townhome”. We’re just renters so I can’t speak to it being a good value to buy, but as a ‘hood in general I’m surprisingly liking it. I used to hate condo life due to thin walls and party animals. This place is well made, it’s got a laundry room and a HUGE storage unit in the garage – think of each unit as having three levels. Level one is garage, laundry room and storage unit, level two is living space and level three is bedrooms. I’m also all about having everything “new” these days because I’m sick of repair people having to come fix the old stuff at our other rentals. A/C unit is a dream, things look cleaner because they’re new and easy to maintain.

Living next to the Albertson’s shopping center is amazing…We can literally walk to the grocery store and other shops. There is also a good pizza/Italian place. Our other rentals in Scripps Ranch required a schlep to the stores – I’m getting spoiled living this close to the grocery store.

The complex is very pet friendly, we’ve only been here a few weeks and met lots of pet people, who seem very intent on cleaning up after their dogs – something we’re not used to but very grateful for.

We live here w/ our two dogs and 13 year old daughter. I’m still surprised that I like it so much, I’d been dreading going back to sharing walls but it’s oddly comforting and not at all like living in a hotel where you hear every sound your neighbor makes.

Oh, and almost forgot to mention, these builders or the building codes now take fire safety VERY seriously….There are fire sprinklers in every room, including the garage/storage area. The last townhome we lived in was built in 1993 so I guess things have come a long way in 16 years.

There are parks around as you head towards Santa Luz and RSF. The location near the 56 has made shooting to Poway for Target wonderful.

I believe your son would go to Willow Grove Elementary – a brand spanking new Poway Unified school over in Santa Luz next to one of the parks I mentioned.

Like I said, can’t speak to buying, but we love it here…Any questions, let me know.
