There were two possible ways Fallbrook High School’s girls basketball team could close out the season with a win: by winning the CIF Division II championship or by winning the Warriors’ final regular-season game and not being selected for the playoffs.

We just came up t...

To me, Fallbrook looks its very best when winter is thinking about turning to spring. One of the most significant reasons is that’s when the numerous Ornamental Pear trees planted in the downtown area go into full bloom. The showiest area of these beauties that feature a bevy of delicate, snowy-white flowers, in my opinion, is the Vince Ross Village Square, at the corner of Main Avenue and Alvarado Street in historic downtown. “The botanic name of those is Pyrus Kaw...
