La Jolla Girard Street House – Meda Clubhouse

May 25, 2010 by Albert 4 Comments

. The stories of the La Jolla Girard Street house are infamous, the true life “Animal House,” that put together true life outrageous parties. David Olson, formal owner of the the Red Mountain Inn, probably said it best, "I recall the first time I was invited to Macpherson’s Girard Street house, and it sort of like the Yankee’s calling you up from the minors, now you’re … [Read more...] about La Jolla Girard Street House – Meda Clubhouse

Mac Meda Poem by Jack MacPherson and Charlie Farley

September 3, 2009 by Albert 20 Comments

Now, ole Mac Meda was a powerful man, Who could smash down a house with the palm of his hand; He formed a company of destroying fools, Big Sledgehammers were his favorite tools. They started out breaking just a house here and there, Smash out the windows and let in some air; Knock out the walls and give a few heaves, And there would be nothing left beneath the … [Read more...] about Mac Meda Poem by Jack MacPherson and Charlie Farley

La Jolla Mailman – Jack MacPherson Postal Worker

August 24, 2009 by Albert 13 Comments

Born and raised in La Jolla and with a great personality, it seemed logical he would become a mailman.  Everyone on Jack's La Jolla mail route knew him. He used to love Christmas - his tips weren't a few bucks or coins, but  6-packs and/or cases of beer.  Many would asked him in for a beer or invite him to their Christmas parties. He was well-liked and knew everyone by … [Read more...] about La Jolla Mailman – Jack MacPherson Postal Worker

Mac’s RIP Memorial Banner – A first in Southern California

August 21, 2009 by Leave a Comment

Jack's wake was a first in San Diego or probably in the whole US.  Never has there been a RIP banner such as the one that flew by Windansea in Jack's memory. The crowd stood cheering and toasted as the plane flew over the 300-plus mourners that filled the parking lot - a day that will always be remembered for the great person he was. His longtime friend Doug Moranville … [Read more...] about Mac’s RIP Memorial Banner – A first in Southern California

Jack and his Burgie Beer – 44 mag

August 21, 2009 by Albert 2 Comments

Here is the photo of Jack in Borrego at sunrise (yes my friends that is sunrise, not sunset), explaining to Brian Munoz why he drank Burgie beer. Jack explained, "So he didn't have to worry about anyone taking or asking for any of his beer" As far as the the reason for the 44 mag suicide look, Brian said, "We had spent the day before getting shit-faced, it ended up with … [Read more...] about Jack and his Burgie Beer – 44 mag

LA JOLLA BEACHES BEING ABUSED BY COMMERCIAL VENDORS
Some bad things are happening to our La Jolla beaches and that is, vendors are blocking off areas for private parties and making large profits off public beaches. Now as the law reads, these vendors can get a permit to have a private party and that permit is ONLY for 50 people, BUT, they CAN NOT ASK or MAKE you leave (even if they show you your permit)  if you are sitting in a spot they want to have their party at ...
