San Diego

The 4-acre East Village Green will open in mid- to late 2025 and feature a central lawn, underground parking, a splash pad and an off-leash dog park

If it seems like you've read more than a few news stories lately about fresh parks coming to San Diego, you wouldn't be mistaken.along the Embarcadero. Freedom Park will stretch 10 acres from the west end of Navy Pier to the Bob Hope Memorial when it's completed in 2028.just in time for the 2024 San Diego Padres season with added amenities for the public. Then there's the newly minted Children's Park on Island Avenue, coming in at $9 million.

But the eviction wasn't as harsh as it appeared: The late-1800 and early 1900 homes known by historians as The Murray Apartments and the Daggett Family Residence were moved for the second time in their lifetimes — this journey was just around the block to their new permanent locations along F Street. They are now staged next to another retro-looking home that is privately owned.

"They put them on wheeled dollies with hydraulic lifts on them, and then they pull them with the truck," Marshall said,"and they basically took them around the corner in order to get them to their site."They were taken east on G Street and then north on 15th Street around to their new foundations."The homes were privately owned before the city acquired them and weren't in the best condition.
