The Bankers Hill Business Group held its monthly meeting on Thursday, February 27, 2020, at Willis Allen Real Estate located at 2875 Fifth Avenue. Realtor Joshua Polanco hosted the event. Over 30 members of the Bankers Hill business community were in attendance.

Among topics discussed was the upcoming Banker Hill Arts & Craft Beer Festival, which will be held on March 27th, from 6:00-9:00 p.m. in the Abbey.

On August 28, 2018, the City of San Diego began a landscape rehabilitation project on the West Mesa of Balboa Park, north of Laurel Street.  The project focused on restoring the grass cover, which in some places has eroded so badly that it has become dirt.  Here are pictures of the work that has so far taken place. The eroded areas have been fenced-off and fertilized, and are now being watered intermittently each day.

Here are past pictures of what the West Mesa of Balboa Park looked like with a healthy grass cover. Hopefully, the landscape rehabilitation project will restore the grass to its former attractive condition.

About 130 people attended the ribbon cutting ceremony for the newly opened Hillcrest Fire Station #5.  San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, Assemblyman Todd Gloria, and City Councilmember Chris Ward were among the speakers.  The Uptown community has been waiting for the opening of this new fire station for almost two decades.

Over 400 people attended the Bankers Hill Art & Craft Beer Festival 2018, which was held on March 23nd.  It was a great time.
