The city of Escondido has released the winning bid on the 2010 Utilities Paving Project.

The 13-unit apartment complex at 305-329 Palm Ave., Coronado 92118, has been sold for $2.8 million.

Preserving the Hotel del Coronado while expanding the property won't be simple but Bill Dodds says he has the blueprint to make it work.

The Coronado Bridge is one step closer to its new look as part of a multimillion-dollar public art project being contemplated by the Unified Port of San Diego.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony signified the opening of the Southwest Regional Apprentice School at Naval Air Station, North Island, which will officially begin classes Aug. 16.

Coronado lies across the bay from downtown San Diego and forms the centerpiece of its views.  The island, really a peninsula, was recognized for its fortunate location by the California Indians who left behind mounds of shells and nuts.  The Spaniards named the area for the islands off the coast which they had previously named "Los Coronados" or the "crowned ones" for feast day of four martyred saints.

The Coronado business district extends along the island's main street, Orange Avenue.  It is a compact group of restaurants, boutiques and services that provide for tourists and residents alike.  The village quality of the business center is much of its charm and is fiercely guarded by its residents.
