There’s something to be said about homegrown fruit and vegetables – they tend to taste better, be healthier for consumers, and are exponentially less expensive than their grocery store counterparts. The same can be said for nuts, namely macadamia nuts that are grown in the greater Fallbrook community. However, the task of picking macadamias and processing them so they are ready to be eaten is not a simple process; this takes several days, and without the proper tools and...

The Fallbrook Sheriff’s substation has seen a spike recently in arrests due to drunk in public incidents, which commander Lt. Robert Haley said "cannot be controlled." “We typically get a call when people are on the ground, and may need medical attention, or are in such a state that they can no longer take care of themselves,” said Haley. “We have to take them in."

I read the exciting win for the state of Alabama. The federal judge approved most of the content of the new law aimed at curbing illegal immigration. As in Arizona, Alabama decided to enact its own law because the federal government is not doing its job. This case as in Arizona will probably end at the Supreme Court. I find it interesting that not only Arizona, but Alabama, Utah, Indiana and Georgia have passed their own illegal immigration laws due to the Feds not doing their job. Some parts of the Alabama law were enjoined...

What is special about the spa and casual designer wear is that it is made in America and is of the finest quality. The boutique will be across from the Fresca Grill and offer an opportunity to s...
