If I'm a bit biased in my review I apologize. If I get the details mixed up it's because the events…read morethat took place happened when I was 6-17 years old. Please let me know and I'll correct. My father, Thomas Shess, started this little newspaper out of our home on 28th St. He wanted to give a unifying voice for the people of North Park and their homes to set forth positive change within the neighborhood. At the time (1993), many of the historic homes that give NP such character were in disarray. In even worse shape was "Downtown" North Park, with the blighted North Park Theater, and seedy 30th and University bus transfer area. Look how far we've come. In a time when this community was considered nothing but ghetto, a handful of residents maintained and improved their North Park homes. My dad put together the first issue of North Park News with the proposed plan of the North Park Sign on the front page below the green masthead, and he ran the paper out of our house on 28th Street until early 2000. This paper was a total family operation, and I can still see and smell the print that wiped off on my hands from stuffing fliers into issues or from dropping them on peoples lawn. I hated it at the time, but now I can't help but laugh when I remember picking up the 2000 or so copies of the paper from the printer. I remember our first color issue, and I remember when I was a staff photographer for a few years shooting Paesano's Customer of the Month. Me being a cute kid and family, my dad always used pictures of my friends and I as models for the front page. We always had a seat of honor during the Toyland Parade, and one year I remember we were loaned a H1 hummer to wave from. It was awesome. My dad sold the paper around 2002 I believe, and I'm happy with how it is today - the buyers are doing a good job. This paper was a part of my life, and now it's a part of the community. Take pride in your neighborhood North Park because people fought to revitalize it. What we see today is a result of the effort of a great number of great people coordinating and working together. To name a few : Senator Christine Kehoe, Councilmember Tony Atkins, Tom & Phyllis Shess, Don Convington, Jay Turner, and anyone who took or takes pride in what is the truly the best and finest neighborhood of San Diego.

I love this little community newspaper but it's so hard to find! When we finally do get our hands…read moreon a copy, it's read cover to cover. NPN, if you're reading this, I'd be happy to pay for a subscription if you made that option available.

I'm particularly found of…read morea couple of new marine yelpers (too remain nameless, for the moment) Who have been kind enough to send me sweet messages while I have been held up in this cell with Butch and his smell. I dont understand why this guy dosent shower, he's 300 pounds no one in their right mind would make a move on him in the shower, if anything, this is one guy you wouldnt want to drop the soap in front of. Anyways, I digress, which is simply an affect of fear, oh there I go again. Back to GLT, this has always been a great paper for the gay community, loads of local, state, national and international news about the gay community. Fun gossip colums and of course lots of ads for the various bars, restaurants and clubs. I'm gonna have to make this short, I hear Butch headed this way. .......close call, it wasnt him.....anywho, the thing I dont understand about GLT is their lack of coverage of the Transgendered and Lesbian community, I think they could do better. I'm gonna pretend to sleep now, goodnite Yelp.com

I occasionally enjoy a reminder of some of life's esoteric mysteries interspersed with nudges to a…read morehealthier lifestyle for my body, mind, and planet. That, Vision accomplishes. The unfortunate reality of the "new age" genre is that those categories in and of themselves don't have enough to sell. Which means there aren't enough advertisers to support it. Which in turn means the floodgates for drips of all varieties have to be opened. Vibrational healing, crystal magic, decorative divination doodads, multiple doses of severe anal powerwashing, godesses, bigfoots, ufos, and a host of Atlantean reincarnates. That'll keep the lights on. Caveat emptor up the wazoo. I hold no fault to the people publishing and involved with Vision. I do still think it's great and provides much to enjoy. I just get a little sad for the desperate and/or mentally ill, scrambling for a solution that end up in the clutches of the equally desperate and/or mentaly ill that are lurking about with a tripped out solution to sell. (whew) Be smart about what you buy into people. Not everything can be "the truth". The truth is just a spice peppered into the baloney.

The best magazine for killing time in random places. Vision shows up when you're least expecting…read moreit. You're waiting for Korean food and BAM - Vision! You're sitting around getting your oil changed and the only thing on TV is CSPAN and then POW - kicked in the face with Vision. Vision not only jumps out at you at the most random locations, but features some of the best articles and advertisements ever, like ancient healing massages for dogs followed by dog bone aromatherapy treatments and How My Sea Monkeys Taught Me To Enjoy the Simple Life. That's not to say that this magazine is poorly written or non-amusing. Quite the opposite. One of the best time killers ever and a reminder that anything strange you've ever imagined about the world or yourself someone else has already come up with and is trying to sell you.
