United Methodist Church, 1984 Sunset Cliffs Blvd., O.B.</strong><br /> For 17 years, from 1930 to 1947, poet, artist, and author Marshal South and his wife Tanya lived on Ghost Mountain—a remote, waterless mountaintop that is today within California’s Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. They began their homesteading adventure when the Great Depression left them few options to survive. They turned to nature and began an experiment in natural living that included raising a family under the most primitive conditions.</p> <br /> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gocomments/obhistory.wordpress.com/585/"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/comments/obhistory.wordpress.com/585/" /></a> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/godelicious/obhistory.wordpress.com/585/"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/delicious/obhistory.wordpress.com/585/" /></a> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gofacebook/obhistory.wordpress.com/585/"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/facebook/obhistory.wordpress.com/585/" /></a> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gotwitter/obhistory.wordpress.com/585/"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/twitter/obhistory.wordpress.com/585/" /></a> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gostumble/obhistory.wordpress.com/585/"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/stumble/obhistory.wordpress.com/585/" /></a> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/godigg/obhistory.wordpress.com/585/"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/digg/obhistory.wordpress.com/585/" /></a> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/goreddit/obhistory.wordpress.com/585/"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/reddit/obhistory.wordpress.com/585/" /></a> <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=obhistory.wordpress.com&amp;blog=850336&amp;post=585&amp;subd=obhistory&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" /> Mon, 23 Jan 2012 13:50:50 -0800 Ocean Beach News from OBMA: Get creative with an SD phone app! http://www.oceanbeachsandiego.com/local-happenings/get-creative-sd-phone-app <div style="color: #505050;font-family: Arial;font-size: 14px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;"> <div style="color: #505050;font-family: Arial;font-size: 14px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;" id="content" class="clearfix page single_col"> <div style="color: #505050;font-family: Arial;font-size: 14px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;" id="main-content"> <div style="color: #505050;font-family: Arial;font-size: 14px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;" class="text"> <p><strong>Looking for a way to have your voice heard?&nbsp; Feel like you have a great idea for improving the city an<p><a href="http://www.oceanbeachsandiego.com/local-happenings/get-creative-sd-phone-app" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Thu, 19 Jan 2012 17:19:07 -0800 Ocean Beach News from OBMA: Action required to save special events in the city of San Diego! http://www.oceanbeachsandiego.com/local-happenings/action-required-save-special-events-city-san-diego <p><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><strong>UPDATE:&nbsp;A press conference will be held this FRIDAY, January 27th at 11am on the corner of Balboa Dr. at El Prado.</strong></span><strong> &nbsp;</strong>T<em>o show your support of the bill Senator Juan Vargas will be authoring (SB973) be at the press conference and wear your neighborhood or organization t-shirts - this will help illustrate how many different groups, neighborhoods and organizations are being affected by the law suit.</em></p><p><a href="http://www.oceanbeachsandiego.com/local-happenings/action-required-save-special-events-city-san-diego" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Wed, 11 Jan 2012 13:21:49 -0800 Ocean Beach News from OBMA: OBMA hosts first Business Development Series event of 2012 http://www.oceanbeachsandiego.com/local-happenings/obma-hosts-first-business-development-series-event-2012 <p>Over sixty local merchants attended the first annual Member Marketing Breakfast held at Nick's at the Pier on Tues., Jan. 10th.&nbsp; The Marketing Breakfast is the first in a series of new programs offered to members of the OBMA, called the Business Development Series.&nbsp; Programs will take place once a quarter and offer resources and useful information to all types of local business owners.&nbsp; The first event each year will focus on marketing and promotions for the upcoming year.</p><p><a href="http://www.oceanbeachsandiego.com/local-happenings/obma-hosts-first-business-development-series-event-2012" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Wed, 11 Jan 2012 09:58:19 -0800 Ocean Beach Historical Society: OB Historical Society helps sponsor educational history conference http://obhistory.wordpress.com/2012/01/07/ob-historical-society-helps-sponsor-educational-history-conference/ <p>Ocean Beach Historical Society has pledged $100 to the Congress of History upcoming conference &#8216;From Inkwells to Internet: The History of Learning in the San Diego Region&#8217;<br /> The conference will be held Friday, March 2 and Saturday, March 3, 2012.
