Tables on one side of the room, bar on the other, dance floor/stage in between. Our friend's band was playing at the VFW (a gig's a gig, right?), so we thought we'd check it out. Upon entering we quickly realized that we were easily two of the youngest people in the place - awesome! Everybody was so nice and welcoming. We were made to feel comfortable right away. For a requested $5 donation we could've enjoyed a pork roast dinner with mashed potatoes and all the fixin's. We opted not to, but it looked delicious. Homemade for sure Drinks were incredibly cheap! $3.50 for a bottle of Pacifico or a Bud Seltzer. Trish was our outstanding, super friendly bartender. We loved Trish! Good times aboard The Ship.

So I'm not finding as much that is interesting to me in thrift stores here now. But occasonally I do. I've bought tools here, and recently saw some higher-end headphones in a cabinet for a reasonable price considering the high retail price. To the management: I wish more items in cabinets were placed so it was possible to see what they are without asking for assistance from the few employees. Or put a note on them with the basic info. The same for items behind the counter. We can't buy them if we can't see what they are.

i've been to this place in the past for friends and family events and have had no problem. however,…read morewith my recent visits, especially this past one, i was confronted by management saying i need to leave despite me being there for family purposes to celebrate personal family milestones. i was told that i shouldn't be here, and was told i shouldn't have even been here as soon as dinner ended, and needed to leave immediately. i wasn't the one driving meaning i needed to leave with my entire family who was also there celebrating or wait outside the premises. there was no sympathy for when i was told to leave despite me telling them i was there to celebrate family. no "sorry" or anything. i've had no problem with this even in the recent few years with similar family events, but i found it extremely offensive and off putting. i love the cause that they live by, as it's rlly touching for me and my family, so it breaks my heart that i can't even be there for my own family and their very special milestones.

not much of a women's center anymore. very industrial area, which i like. surprised citymark is…read moresupposed to be building high end residences here across from walmart and the automotive shop. very different design for citymark as well - when i purchased one of their condos (m2i) there was a lot of architectural talk about matching the facade to the surrounding neighborhood - didn't work out that way, but i liked the exposed structural materials at that location. in the end - a condo at this location cannot be worth more than $100k or $200 a square foot for 600sf. still crazy expensive compared to what the land was sold for at around $160k for the whole lot then resold recently at $2.1 million supposedly. better question - how could a location like this be worth anything at all when there are hundreds of condos proposed for construction in la mesa on their gis website? be careful starting a business that requires foot traffic here, when m2i first started the vast majority of the businesses in that area went belly up within a few years and that was in a high traffic city location - almost no-one walks around this area. the entitled design certainly is not industrial enough for the neighborhood - makes me super sad to read about the la mesa women's club at the library while also spending $320k on a unit at m2i then learning about what they are building here / how the developer/woman's group is suing the church next door. i am a bit ashamed to have paid for one of these units from citymark in the past - m2i 506 at 1050 island ave. that was me. also of note - citymark has a habit of installing very limited finished with the expectation that owners finish the interior of the units. that can work, but you should pay appropriately. personally - i expect more from a woman's club. primarily: consideration for the longevity of the city and the architectural design which they have strong control over at this location. they definitely sold out here while beating up on the church they grew up alongside. not cool - that says something about its current members. when you have property and an opportunity to build something that develops the city you are supposed to be shepherding, but you choose to sell out like this - there's something very wrong or entirely self centered going on. this proposed citymark design also shows that the women's club does not care about fabrication or industry whatsoever (which this area is rife with), just high end residential which is not going to help the la mesa tax base. expect a glut of units in la mesa at rock bottom prices with the intent of having you drive to work on a regular basis instead of working locally (there are already huge vacancies.) also expect higher prices in this area because of fewer low dollar residences.
