Ed Gallo Speaks: The more things change . . . - Escondido Times-Advocate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week I was stopped at the light at Escondido Blvd and Mission Avenue. Just in time to wait the longest for the cycle change which gave me time to look around. When I saw Holiday Wine Cellar I couldn’t help seeing the huge vertical sign above the roof: L I Q U O R. That has been an Escondido icon since 1965. Seeing it gave me a comforting feeling about my adopted home town since 1973: “The more things change the more they stay the same.” Anyone who has lived in Escondido more than 50 years k
Ed Gallo Speaks: A good week for Escondido - Escondido Times-Advocate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This has been a pretty good week for Escondido. Good with respect to being recognized—not that the recognition is all that good. With something to take pride in and news that didn’t feel all that good. As you know, last week Escondido recorded its highest temperature ever at 115 degrees Fahrenheit. Typing that almost makes me sweat. That probably wasn’t worthy of entry into the Guinness World Records which includes listings of the zaniest of categories worldwide. Humidity that high reminded me o

Finally, after many, many years of optimism for the improvements in the 100 block of W. Grand Avenue there is a bright light at the end of the tunnel.

A huge thank you to new owners Majid & Laura Mehdi for their confidence in Escondido’s downtown future. Their vision to revitalize the area coincides with the nex
Ed Gallo Speaks: End of summer - Escondido Times-Advocate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Labor Day holiday conjures up numerous memories. The first salute to labor was on the first Monday in September 1882 in New York City and has been observed the same first Monday since. It became one of the great three day weekends—which also commemorates the unofficial end to summer. Which reminds me why we have a Miss America pageant. Along the Jersey shore numerous towns have boardwalks with amusement rides, attractions, food outlets and gift stores. Atlantic City merchants wanted to squee
Remembrance, not celebration - Escondido Times-Advocate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ordinarily, anniversaries are to celebrate—except for September 11. Next week I’m sure all media outlets will be broadcasting remembrances of that fateful day and I doubt anyone will ever forget where they were when they first heard the news almost 6 a.m. PST Tuesday morning in 2001. In the early 1970’s on my way to work as I got on the Garden State Parkway in New Jersey, I would look east and see the twin towers under construction. The World Trade Center opened in 1973, the year I moved to Esco
