Word on the streets of San Diego, it's Wednesday, May 28th, 2025, and this is your San Diego News Update. I'm Morgan Riley.
Leading our stories today, a dramatic landslide in Old Town has residents on edge after rocks buried a car on Monday. The incident occurred on May 26th, with one resident reporting that their new car actually prevented the situation from becoming worse. Thankfully, no injuries have been reported, but city officials are assessing the area for additional safety concerns.
In Ocean Crest, firefighters responded to a blaze that damaged a vacant home yesterday. The San Diego Fire Department arrived on scene Tuesday morning and successfully contained the fire before it could spread to neighboring properties. Investigators are still working to determine the cause of the fire.
National City businesses are feeling the pinch as a slowdown in sales affects the wholesale market. Local business owners report decreased foot traffic and consumer spending, reflecting broader economic concerns across the county. The Chamber of Commerce is planning a meeting next week to discuss potential stimulus initiatives for area merchants.
For our community spotlight today, let's turn to Liberty Station, which has transformed itself into a culinary destination. What began as a redevelopment project has blossomed into one of San Diego's premier dining districts, with local chefs and restaurateurs creating a vibrant food scene that draws visitors from across Southern California.
Looking at our weather, we can expect typical late May conditions with morning coastal clouds giving way to afternoon sunshine. Temperatures will remain in the comfortable mid-70s inland and upper 60s along the coast. Perfect weather for enjoying our beautiful outdoor spaces this weekend.
And speaking of the weekend, don't forget about the monthly art walk in North Park this Saturday evening, featuring over thirty local artists and live music performances throughout the district.
As we navigate these final days of May, I'm reminded of how resilient our community continues to be—whether facing natural challenges like landslides or economic headwinds affecting our local businesses. It's that spirit of coming together that makes San Diego not just a beautiful place to live, but a true community.
