I’ve been an Oceanside local since 1983 and Oceanside history is my favorite subject. I know lots of interesting and sometimes useless information on people, places and things. My blog gives me the opportunity to share some of the back story on events, forgotten people, and sometimes a bit darker but interesting view of my hometown. When I read on a particular person, subject or incident, I want all the details...so I endeavor to write that way. True stories have always intrigued me, they’re far more fascinating than fiction.
