The first meeting was in part to discuss three focus areas: zero waste events, business and community education, and a potential community garden.

Donations made by Friday will receive a letter that can be given to the special dad in your life as a gift on Sunday's Father Day.

The owners of Hillcrest's The Ruby Room will shut down the space at 1271 University Ave. while they search out a location for their next project. The bar's name will change by mid-July.

On Tuesday June 13, join the Hillcrest Town Council as we have some great presentations from some great locals.

Donations of all levels are being sought to help defray the costs of the LGBT historical monument planned for the base of the Hillcrest Pride Flag. All donors of at least $100 will have their name etched at the base of the monument.

The monument will focus on four periods of the LGBT community's history in Hillcrest, starting with the time before the neighborhood was considered an LGBT hub, the area's transformation, the challenging struggles with HIV/AIDS and civil rights in the 1980's and 1990's, and the community as it is today.

Organizers call the event a "celebration of diversity, an exercise in unity, and a total investment in enhancing the quality of life in San Diego's most vibrant neighborhood."

The community is invited to see the preliminary plans for an LGBT historical monument planned for the base of the Hillcrest Pride Flag.

The next HBA mixer will take input on what the organization's next community promotional event should be.

New neighborhood restaurants Sloppy’s Burritos, d Bar and Salt & Cleaver will be joining in on the festivities this year, and some of San Diego’s leading microbreweries – Aztec Brewing Company, Stone Brewing Company and Thorn Street Brewery, among others – will have samples available at retailers including Urban Outfitters and Cody’s Home + Gifts.
