San Diego Zoo: Home to the Largest Koala Colony Outside of Australia
Since 1925, the San Diego Zoo has housed the largest koala colony outside of Australia and China, currently housing 21 koalas. It’s also home to one of the most successful breeding programs outside of Australia. Most recently, San Diego’s efforts towards protecting koalas have increased, especially after wildfires in Australia, which were a major cause of their endangered status because they burned much of their habitat and natural resources. Several factors contributed to these fires’ impact: before them, koalas faced drought, land clearing, and disease, but the Black Summer fires were blamed for their official listing as endangered. As of 2026, the Australian government still lists koalas as endangered, and conservation efforts remain critical.

Demolition of downtown’s historic California Theatre.
I noticed today that the demolition of downtown San Diego’s historic California Theatre building is underway. A crew was cleaning out the interior of the long vacant building. It’s hard to believe the once-elegant 1927 building has stood neglected (directly next to the Civic Center) since 1990. The...

Why San Diego’s Shelltown was once prime real estate for Navy officers
Realtors often say that when buying into a neighborhood, it’s all about location, location, location, and back in the day, San Diego’s Shelltown offered just that. In the early 1900s, Shelltown had a special draw for Navy officers: views of their ships in San Diego Bay and fast access to the waterfront if duty called. Its history illustrates how proximity to the waterfront helped shape a neighborhood and attracted residents whose lives were connected to the Navy.
