The Bankers Hill house built for San Diego Zoo founder Harry Wegeforth (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is a historic house on Maple Street that quietly connects several important chapters of San Diego history. At 210 Maple St. in Bankers Hill stands the Wegeforth House, built for Dr. Harry Wegeforth, the physician who helped establish the San Diego Zoological Society and whose efforts led to the creation of the San Diego Zoo. Today, the house is the headquarters of the Junior League of San Diego and is designated San Diego Historic Landmark No. 156. The story of the house began in 1916, whe
9 little-known stories behind University City (opens the original)
Read excerpt
University City is now known for UC San Diego, research institutions, planned neighborhoods, and its location near the Pacific.

El Niño in San Diego: A history of storms, floods and surprises (opens the original)

Travelers wanted something different: a place they could reach by automobile, park outside their room and, increasingly, enjoy as part of the vacation itself. San Diego was ideally pos
The asbestos factory that once operated in Pacific Beach (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pacific Beach is now lined with restaurants, apartments, shops and busy streets. But in the late 1880s, when the community was still being promoted as a new seaside resort, one of its more unusual businesses was an asbestos factory. The plant was established in 1888 near the Pacific Beach driving park, the horse-racing track that stood north of Mission Bay and east of Rose Creek. The San Diego Asbestos Mining and Manufacturing Co. planned a factory capable of processing as much as 8,000 pounds o
