I am fond of University Heights neighbors who are San Diego natives and/or raised families here. This gentleman, who for privacy purposes isn’t named, often sits with his wife on the swing. He rocked back and forth as Annie and I visited him today.
The 89-year-old bought the house 56 years ago. Many of the generational homeowners inherited properties from parents or grandparents. In this case, he is the original owner, parent, and grandparent. He has living children who own homes elsewhere in the city.
I used Samsung Galaxy S26 ultra to shoot the Featured Image for the purpose of showing off his horseshoe creations, several of which are visible starting with the cactus. Yep, he made them; granted, when he was a wee bit younger man.
