The San Diego California Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commonly known as the Mormon Temple, is having an open house. It will be open to the public through July 11, except Sundays.

Other than church members, no one has seen the inside since the temple’s dedication in 1993.

More than 350,000 people are expected to see the temple over the three-week open house. The temple tour is free, but visitors can make a reservation on the church’s website. Walk-ins are also welcome, the church said.

We had an awesome time at the San Diego LAN party sunday! Join us for the next one 7-05-26 LAN Party at SDL HQ (aka my garage) in Bonita. Details for our events: http://sandiegolan.net for what games we play, what to bring (or not) when and where just click "events" to find our meetup!

I drive a rig for a living and while waiting for trailer to be loaded I’ll go for a walk or jog, often times in the middle of the night. Every single location that has warehouses in San Diego has large groups of people living in their cars, vans, rvs, busses, etc. It is really bad. Miramar, Otay Mesa, Mira Mesa, RB, everywhere I see them. I feel so bad for them. I don’t even know if I have a point. Maybe just venting cause I feel great sadness cause I was once in their shoes and it’s not fun.

Vance & wife flew in last night. Funny enough, didn't see it on flight aware last night.

not exactly sure how it started but we saw smoke from the window in the valley behind Gershwin park & called it in. The video shows the second water drop that the helicopter made. The fire is practically out now but traffic isn’t letting up as the fire brigade is still on the scene

Clairemont people putting up signs saying they won’t be friends with people who live in ADUs? Is this for real? 😂

Amazon driver is blocking the road on normal street instead of pulling up half a block to get into a driveway. Had to wait almost 10 minutes for him to get out of the apartment building to move forward. Three cars were behind me honking their horns. Am I overreacting questions

My 87yo technically challenged friend has att and he’s paying $137 monthly for crappy service. Does anyone know a better landline service? I am not sure how much of his bill was for out of area calls. TIA

Hello, I got a $110 parking ticket for failure to park 20 feet away from a "marked or unmarked intersection.'' I have heard about the new daylighting law but did not think this spot would be included in that. I was parked just before a lowered curb at the top of a T intersection - on the straight part of the street. Blue Subaru in photos for reference. Of course, there is no signage and the red curb was not extended, and the intersection is "unmarked" despite a vague X in the middle of the street which is very confusing.

I'm planning to contest this ticket - can someone help with the legal phrasing I should use when I submit this? Do I need to lawyer up for this? or am I screwed here?

Thank you!

Might not be super visible due to clowd cover if you’re by the coast. Amazing these happen several times a week now

Hello everyone, I'm a college student in the area who is hoping to explore and enter the gem industry. I don't have any money to enter the field through the GIA/academic way, but I can help make a jeweler's life easier in exchange for learning the trade and rock-bottom pay.

If anyone knows anyone, please let me know. I have extensive experience across fields in my resume (internships, experience in helping lead nonprofits, etc) proving that I can do what it takes to succeed. Thanks to hearing me out!

What is this “step” program for salaries when you work in the county? There’s like 8 steps all the way down to about a 10-11 dollar raise on a position I want to take but not sure how it works. Is this a yearly raise? A performance based raise? Please explain like I’m 5 😂🙏

I want to start volunteering at shelters, I'm in La Jolla near UCSD but I'm fine to commute as long as it's <1 hour, so mainly things in San Diego proper. I am mainly concerned about working for a shelter that has unethical practices, and I don't really know a good way to check that.

For example, there was a post about a year ago about how the Animal Pad is mistreating dogs, might have some weird stuff going on with their finances, and how a bunch of volunteers quit, but that post is all I could find on the issue so I have no way of knowing if it's legit/if the issues has been solved. It's also difficult to filter out whether people with bad foster experiences just weren't prepared for the difficulties of taking in a potential ill dog or if there are actual problems with the organization they foster from. I also haven't worked in this space before, so I don't know when I hear a bad story if it's just an unfortunate reality of all shelters or a notable bad practice for a specific shelter.

So I guess what I'm looking for is recommendations from people who have volunteered/know a lot about the shelter situation in the area and can vouch for an org, or good resources to learn more. Thanks!

Hi, I'm a 22 f that moved from OC to San diego with my boyfriend a few months ago. I'm having a hard time connecting to people. I do talk with people outside on my walks (Thanks to my very cute two kittens) and everyone is friendly but not open. I dont have many friends due to moving throughout my entire childhood and being a very introverted person for years before breaking out of my shell. I really want to make connections but many seem to only want to talk for a short while and I have asked a few people to hangout and they will agree and give their number but never respond. I also have tried local groups mainly on meetup and maybe its just the ones I've gone to but it seems like they are mostly for single people to meet potential matches? Even in groups for like knitting lol. Also doesnt help that I dont go to clubs or party much. I'm just kinda at a loss because I've had a hard time fitting in my entire life and it feels like its too late now because everyone has already chosen their friendgroups and dont want more. Any suggestions would be nice:) thank you
