A Wish For Urban Solace
Urban Solace is not only the name of the next restaurant in my “To Try” list. It’s also my most sincere wish for our dear city during this time of blazing sadness.
As a native San Diegan, I’m just so sad for our city and its people, all the loss and the displacement and the hardship. But I’m trying more to focus on the heroism of our firefighters and law enforcement, and the generosity of the common San Diegan. There hasn’t been any violence or misconduct and I think that says a lot about our character during tough times… which is when it really counts, of course.
As for us… we did pack up our car with cherished mementos, but somehow we didn’t have to evacuate. I only know a few people who didn’t have to evacuate. A friend lost her house, and I’m just so ridiculously sad for her and her family; it seems so pointless and surreal.
I’m sending strength and solace to our city. I love San Diego so much.

Hi Beth, thanks for the restaurant recommends! I have not heard of either. Also, I am happy you guys are safe and well–as are we. I am a native too and the fires do come–they just destroy more now because our SD is so built up that we get burned out. So sad. Take care, Barbara
