The first record of cocktails being served at 3936 30th Street was the opening night of Club Belvedere, in 1948. Just a few years later, The 1956 San Diego edition of Polk’s Business Directory in shows the location as The Office. Fast-forward to 1983, George Scolari bought & personalized his new bar, calling it Scolari’s Office. Scolari's Office became a popular neighborhood bar and later a famous/infamous punk rock venue known all across the United States. For the record, it was in June of 2008 that the major renovation was completed & Scolari’s Office became The Office once again. The physical & cultural landscape of the 9-5 'daily grind' or 'rat race' has changed in just the last decade. With smart phones, laptop computers & WiFi- we’ve adopted ways to be productive anywhere, anytime. The typical office as portrayed in movies & television is not-so-typical anymore...thinking outside the cubicle is to be expected (The Office has free WiFi & places to power up). We can all agree that we've imagined this scene: kicking our feet up in the boss's office, sitting in a leather throne behind a walnut desk, cocktail in hand (cue AMC's hit show Mad Men). The concept behind The Office Bar combines the comfort and personality of a classic cocktail lounge with the a twist: you're the boss! Come for Happy Hour: 2 for 1 Prices on ALL DRINKS from 4-7pm, with $5 Signature Cocktails until 9pm. Feel free to order in from one of several neighborhood restaurants; we'll have it delivered to you at your barstool or booth. The Office is available for Birthday Parties, Special Events, Benefits, Mixers, etc and shows Chargers, Lakers, NFL, NBA & MLB games in HD. Nightly entertainment starts at 9pm with Djs and live music. Please click on the 'Events' link for more information about a specific date. *It's a business doing pleasure with you.

This is a community forum site for all those who live and love the North Park neighborhood. Please share anything and everything about North Park for the benefit of all that live in area. We partner along with our South Park / Golden Hill partners to share happenings as well. Residents and business owners alike can share information and ideas about our town. North Park is a neighborhood in San Diego, California, USA. It is situated to the northeast of Balboa Park, bounded on the north by the canyons overlooking Mission Valley, on the south by Switzer Canyon and the South Park neighborhood, on the east by Interstate 805 and City Heights, and on the west by Florida Canyon and Hillcrest. The pre-Interstate 805 boundary of North Park was widely considered to be 35th Street, which is now part of City Heights. The North Park sign can be seen at 30th Street and University Avenue, and this intersection is often considered to be the heart of the neighborhood. North Park includes the sub neighborhoods of Burlingame, Altadena, and the Morley Field area (site of the proposed Dryden Historic District). North Park is part of the 53rd congressional district, and San Diego City Council District 3. Todd Gloria was elected as North Park's council member on November 4, 2008. Residents of North Park are served by a vibrant and active all-volunteer group, the North Park Community Association NPCA. The NPCA hosts free Bird Park Summer Concerts, runs a Stop Graffiti Now! campaign, connects neighbors who have common concerns, and promotes local businesses through its Member Discount Program. North Park's business community is also served by a business improvement district called North Park Main Street. Like much of San Diego, in the 2000s North Park has seen significant increases in housing prices. Some in the community believe this is evidence that the community has undergone gentrification, however no comprehensive housing or population study has yet been conducted to confirm this point. Downtown North Park contains the Ray Street Arts District. History n the summer of 1893, San Diego merchant Joseph Nash sold 40 acres (16 ha) of land northeast of Balboa Park to James Monroe Hartley, who wished to develop a lemon grove. The Hartley family began the arduous process of clearing the land to prepare the earth for the grove, but providing the fledgling trees with proper irrigation was always a problem. Barrels of water had to be hauled from downtown San Diego up a wagon trail that would eventually be called Pershing Drive. As the growth of San Diego eventually caught up with the original Hartley lemon grove, it eventually became roughly bordered by Ray Street to the west, 32nd Street to the east, University Avenue to the north and Dwight Street to the south. Hartley deemed his area "Hartley's North Park" - and years later, the name evidently stuck as the City of San Diego referred to the new suburb as "North Park." In 1911, Hartley's eldest son, Jack, and a relative (brother-in-law William Jay Stevens) developed the plot into one of San Diego's first residential and commercial districts. After first establishing "Stevens & Hartley", North Park's first real estate firm, in 1905, Jack and William built North Park's first "high rise" commercial building, the Stevens building, on the northwest corner of 30th Street and University Avenue (today's "Western Dental" building) in 1912. "Thirtieth & University" became North Park's symbolic place name - and within 10 years, this became the heart of the community.

http://www.heidiophoto.com approach: More than anything, I want to make a real connection. I’d like to get to know you—and have you know me—so that, on the day of your wedding, we’re more like friends instead of just two sides of a business transaction. To make sure we get there, we’ll spend time together at the engagement session, we’ll meet to make plans and just to chat, and I’ll learn even more about you through some questionnaires. I want to know what you’re most looking forward to at the wedding, what’s most important to you, and what you could care less about. This may seem like a lot, but it’s all for a good cause—I really care about your wedding experience, and want to make sure that you get everything you want out of it. style: heidi-o-photo is candid, intimate and real. Once you’ve warmed up in front of the camera, I love to capture more natural moments while paying attention to the details. I give a bit of direction, but leave it open for you to be you, and let those moments happen on their own. I prefer and enjoy photographing in natural light. My favorite venues have character and charm, such as ranches, gardens, historic venues, or any other unique locations. I'd love to get to know you, and tell the story of your wedding through pictures.
