The 2015 celebration might include projections of historic photos onto park buildings on El Prado. . / BRC Imagination Arts (For all things Balboa Park related, go to balboapark.org. Under "park information," you'll see links to history, 2015, the Balboa Park Conservancy and the planned changes to the Plaza de Panama.) San Diego’s Panama-California Exposition in 1915-16 in Balboa Park celebrated the opening of the canal, left behind the San Diego Zoo and brought the Navy to San Diego.

Now park planners and supporters are revving up a yearlong centennial celebration in 2015 with the dual goal of filling up hotel rooms in the offseason and making the park a permanent, five-star attraction on the world’s travel map. Unlike the first two fairs, this effort is not aimed at park development, although some changes are in the works. Chairing the host committee are Ben and Nikki Clay, a longtime power couple who have retired from lobbying, but are experienced in many civic enterprises. Balboa Park 2015 agreement endorsed - SignOnSanDiego.com. Less than four years off, planning the centennial of San Diego's 1915 expo in Balboa Park picked up speed Wednesday as a City Council committee endorsed a framework for running what members called a "magnificent" and "terrific" opportunity to boost the economy and remind the world of San Diego's assets.

Forwarded to the full council was a memorandum of understanding outlining the responsibilities of the city and the newly formed Balboa Park Celebration nonprofit corporation, assigned to run a year-long party. About $750,000 in tourist taxes and $300,000 from local foundations has been set aside as seed money toward an as-yet unspecified budget with the balance expected to come from sponsorships, admissions, earned income and donations. Any profit from the events is to be set aside for capital improvements in the park. "It's now understood and known that this year is going to have a really magnificent event in Balboa Park," said Councilman Todd Gloria, who represents the park.

On Monday, the Occupy San Diego movement will mark a milestone many locals may not have seen coming: Its first month of occupation. True to the word’s double meaning, camping out on downtown city property has become a job for dozens of demonstrators who protest corporate greed and economic inequality by day, and sleep (or not) outside the Civic Theatre at night. The group has grown smaller and scruffier, and its goals have yet to crystallize since the first march drew 1,500 people on Oct. 7. Subsequent city crackdowns on 100-plus tents led to 53 arrests.

Occupiers still hold committee meetings and teach-ins during the day and meet as a general assembly (or G.A.) to set ground rules for themselves each night. Ever-present police officers monitor them at rest on a patch of grass off Third Avenue. Each morning, the movement begins anew. Mike Garcia, 48, of La Mesa, drug-abuse counselor Garcia, a mainstay since day one, serves as a liaison with city government. Local "Occupy" protestors pull cash out of big banks. SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Occupy San Diego protestors took to the streets Saturday in a "Big Banks Funeral March," in solidarity with National Bank Transfer Day, aimed at encouraging people to switch from large banks to credit unions. As the protest entered its 30th day, about 200 demonstrators were asked to wear black and carry cardboard coffins with bank's names on them, as they marched from the Civic Center to Petco Park, then to a Bank of America branch.

The march was held as part of National Bank Transfer Day to "ensure that large banking institutions will always remember the fifth of November," according to a statement from the event's organizers. "If we shift our funds from the for-profit banking institutions in favor of not-for-profit credit unions before this date we will send a clear message that conscious consumers won't support companies with unethical business practices. It's time to invest in local growth," said Occupy San Diego member Kali Katt.
