East Village Project

A couple of weeks ago we met a few great friends at Nunu's Tavern in Hillcrest, most of us haven't seen each other in quite sometime and also had the pleasure of meeting new friends. Mark Hiss is one of the new friends and we chatted about San Diego's East Village, he recently sent a good number of photos and PDF's about his writing and editing from back in the day.
Below is his bio and some of the images from various events.
I'm currently working on adding his PDF's to the website but couldn't wait to share my excitement.
Thank you all!

Mark Hiss Lloreda is a writer and editor who has worked in and around San Diego arts and culture for many years.

He was then founding editor of two publications: WHERE San Diego, a visitor guide focusing on arts, entertainment and dining, and Performances, the playbill magazine for Southern California’s leading performing arts groups. He is also the author of several guidebooks on San Diego and California, and was a longtime features writer and columnist for San Diego Home/Garden Lifestyles, interviewing scores of local artists, architects, designers and civic leaders.

For the first time, the Postal Service features mariachi musicians on stamps Artist Rafael López used his upbringing in Mexico City for inspiration. It took two years of development before the set launched, and each stamp will carry on a cultural legacy forever.

Yesterday I went for lunch with my friend Ryan Chung at Hayes Burger in Barrio Logan... and was delighted to find a mural by Satoshi Rocco... painted in September 28, 2018.
Great burgers by the way. :)
Cheers!
