Coronado has a population of about 21,000 people. Naval Air Station North Island has about another 21,000 that come to work on the base daily. Oh, and there are some pretty stellar beaches that draw major crowds on a daily basis, so the island is fairly well equipped to handle a large influx of humanity. “Sometimes we have up to 100,000 cars drive across Coronado back and forth in one day anyways. However, a lot of those people are still going to be coming, AND we’re going to have an additional 50,000 visitors,” says John Duncan, Mayor of Coronado. Those extra 50,000 folks will be coming to see the NASCAR street race on the base, which is completely sold out for both Saturday and Sunday. Obviously, anyone coming to the event will need to allow for A LOT of extra time. “If you’re not here, in my opinion, four hours before race time then you’re going to be stuck in some very heavy traffic,” says Duncan. “You’ll probably get in. You’ll probably be fi

Hundreds of people gathered Sunday outside the Otay Mesa Detention Center to mark the anniversary of the start of ‘No Kings’ rallies and show support for detainees held inside the facility. The demonstration, led by the group Indivisible, took place along Calzada de la Fuente in front of the detention center. Organizers said the event also coincided with Flag Day and highlighted what they described as the international nature of the United States. Flags representing multiple countries lined the sidewalk outside the facility during the rally. Connie Elder, an organizer with Indivisible, said the timing of the event was significant. “This Sunday is the first anniversary of the No Kings one rally. It also is Flag Day, and we thought this would be a good time to emphasize the international nature of our country.” Elder also commented on immigration enforcement efforts. “It’s a tremendous irony, isn’t it? That we, the United States of America, are h

The first day of the 2026 World Cup featured Mexico, South Africa, South Korea and Czechia. Now it’s the U.S. men’s national team’s turn. Friday’s slate will continue with the three hosts in the spotlight. The day will start with Canada vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina in Group B play before it ends with the USMNT vs. Paraguay at night. The U.S. men’s national team are in a Group D that also features Turkiye, a potential dark horse, and Australia, so claiming all three points no matter the cost will be key against a disciplined Paraguayan side led by star winger Miguel Almiron. So, what time is the game and where will it be available to watch? Here’s everything to know: 2026 FIFA World Cup Soccer Mar 3

Expect another day of gradual clearing with seasonable afternoon highs. Wave heights at the beaches will be close to 6 ft with dangerous rip currents. After today, high pressure will begin to warm us up, so it will be noticeably warmer inland Tuesday afternoon with a shallower marine layer through the rest of the week, so early clouds will have an easier time clearing. The entire county will be warming up through the rest of the week with a heat risk for the deserts by the end of the week. Friday should be the warmest day. Also by the middle to end of the week, moisture to our South will begin to move North so humidity will be increasing across the county. The weekend ahead will be warm and dry but still feeling a bit muggy. MONDAY Coast: gradual clearing – low 70s Inland: clouds to sun – upper 70s Mountains: sunny – mid 70s Deserts: sunny – near 100

Some 338 pets have new homes Saturday thanks to the San Diego Humane Society’s Adopt-a-Pet Day waiving fees. The event was held Saturday at all four of the Humane Society’s San Diego campuses in San Diego, El Cajon, Escondido and Oceanside as part of California Adopt-a-Pet Day, according to Humane Society spokeswoman Nina Thompson. “While we celebrate today’s success, our mission continues,” Thompson said. “More than 500 animals are still waiting at our shelters for their second chance.” Every adoption included spay/neuter surgery, current vaccinations, permanent microchip identification, post-adoption training support and a free veterinary exam at participating clinics. “Waiving adoption fees for a day can transform hundreds of lives, both for the animals who find homes and the people who welcome them,” said Dr. Gary Weitzman, president and CEO of San Diego Humane Society. “We’re proud to join shelters acros

Anyone heading to the Mission Beach boardwalk soon may notice the new temporary lifeguard tower, which opened just in time for the summer beach rush. On Wednesday, the city of San Diego announced that crews had finished construction on the temporary structure, which allows lifeguards to operate safely while plans are underway to replace the aging station next door. The temporary structure cost $2 million. The Mission Beach lifeguard tower is known among San Diego lifeguards as one of the busiest stations in the city.
