Three of the pizza restaurants remain, but the one in Pacific Beach -- the last to be run by an original brother -- will close on September 15th.

The first color photos I've seen of Westgate Park appeared yesterday on Facebook, thanks to the mysterious Pea Hicks. It included several shots of an Easter Service.

You may need to have Facebook to access these views. Cross your fingers and click HERE.
