Looking for our lost dachshund mix that disappeared on New Years Eve. He is black and friendly and his name is Buddy. We live close to the 7/11 on College and Billman. Please email or call Mario at 619.992.1142. Thank you.

Hi Tracy –
Jim is always working on San Diego history, and he comes to Rolando Community Council meetings about every other year to share his latest, but I’m not sure how often he visits this page. That’s his email link up there, though. He is really helpful and friendly if you contact him!

Very interesting. What are the chances something this ambitious would ever happen?

Thanks Laura, not much writing though. Unless each picture adds 1000 to
The word count.

I was there this morning to buy the ravioli and have a latte and danish. Love the new addition to our neighborhood.

Gone Tomorrow had the crowd stomping their feet to the fiddle early in the day & Big Mountain w/ Quino had the crowd swaying to the reggae beat w/ hands in the air for dinner. Too bad I had to leave, but I saw Midnight Players setting up & they looked like they were going to finish the fair with dancing.

I grew up in this neighborhood in the 1940 till 1953 on Rolando blvd. and am interested in the street fair but did not know about it until on t v today and wondered if you could tell me the date next year as I would like to spend the day with all of you and see my old house at 4712 Rolando Blvd. and the people who could still be there.

Comment on The Rolando Street Fair of 1947! by LAURA LOU SHERMAN JORGENSON

I Have heard that there is a Jim Newland who is a collector of Rolando History. It was not called Rolando Village when I lived there. If Seminole Drive is a part of Rolando Village please let me know. My two brothers (Art and Ralph Sherman) lived there from 1927 until we left home, circa 1947. We lived at 4797 Seminole Dr. This home was torn down after Bessie Crow decided to make apartments on the lot. My brother Ralph, myself and Gerry Allen Jacobson are the only surviving originial “kids” that lived on a dirt road called Seminole Drive. If anyone is interested in the story of this street in the time I mentioned, I will be happy to share a few items and pictures ..I cannot begin to tell you the happy memories we have of that area, walking a mile to John Muir School every day….taking a bus to Woodrow Wilson and Hoover High school.

I admire your conviction Renee! I wish the decision was up to me but I'm not directly involved with the production of the Street Fair. My guess is that Betty Murasky will be able to give you an answer. You can find her contact info on the Rolando Community Council's 2011 street fair page. Best of luck to you on your challenge and fundraising goals. I bet you'll make it.

Hello,

My name is Renee and I have a sister named Debbie. We have taken on the challenge of walking in the Susan G. Komen 3-day for a cure here in San Diego this November. In order to be able to participate in the 60 mile walk, we must first raise $2,300 EACH. This is a large number for anyone to raise, but we are determined. People tell us this will be very challenging and seeing that we are only 19 and 16 years old, most or our friends can’t make the type of donations we need to hit the magic number.

We were wondering if we may set up a table at the Rolando Village Street Faire on Sunday March 27th where we would have information on breast cancer and breast cancer awareness items for donations (bracelets, ribbon pins, bookmarks).

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

-Renee & Debbie Crawford

This is hilarious. Seems like we should ask people to dress in period attire at this years fair. Speaking of the fair, CAN’T WAIT!
