The Rolando Community Council will be meeting this Tuesday, September 19.
Location: Rolando Methodist Church
4855 Seminole Drive, San Diego CA, 92115
Time: 7-8:30PM
New and prospective members are welcome.
Since moving to Rolando Village in 2004 I have been curious about where Rolando Village begins and ends. The boundary stated on the community council’s site is missing some detail on the eastern boundary.
By reviewing a combination of the city’s map of San Diego neighborhoods and the SanGIS Interactive Map it is apparent that the the north end of the east boundary begins on 73rd as stated on the old community council web site. But the eastern boundary is more complicated. Rolando’s east boundary follows these streets in order from North to South: 73rd, Amherst, 71st, Colony (cuts through to 68th), 68th, Solita, 67th, from 67th (cuts through almost to University and turns eastward to 69th and then south to University). You can download the rolando_boundary.kmz and explore it in 3D with Google Earth (one of the coolest free programs you will ever download).Note: My interpretation of these boundaries is just a best guess. If you have authoritative information on this subject please add a comment to this post.
“Arts for Life! Family Arts Connection” sponsored by Young Audiences of San Diego is slated for Thursday, September 14, 6:30 p.m., at Salvation Army Kroc Community Center Performing Arts Theatre (6845 University Avenue). Music by Arbol Azul; Mexican Amate paper image creation with visual artist Thia Nevius (7 p.m.). Free. 619-282-7599 x114.
“Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with the trio Arbol Azul as they weave music and myth in an exciting musical journey through Latin America. Following the performance, families can make Mexican Amate Paper images with visual artist Thia Nevius.”
“árbol ázul’s show is truly, a musical journey through Latin America.
Beyond a mere musical/cultural showcase, the extremely high level of their interpretations, the group’s performances reflects a deep commitment to creating a compelling audible experience as they seek and find the magic of Latin American folklore.
This is an experience worth seeing live.”
