I always find it fascinating when landmarks become controversial. It might be the home of a famous, or infamous person, or the site of a gruesome murder. Celebrity homes become landmarks, as do homes built by well-know architects (homes built by Neutra in Los Angeles, for example, or the Fallingwater home by Frank Lloyd Wright in Pennsylvania). Sometimes a place where a significant event occurred becomes a landmark that raises controversy. San Diego, and specifically La Jolla, has such a landmark, on Mt.Soledad. Mt.Soledadis one of the highest points in coastal San Diego County, at 882 feet, and offers some incredible views of the county and the coastline...on a clear day to the Mexican border and north about 40 miles to Camp Pendleton just beyond Oceanside. Mt. Soledad is known for bei... 11/23/2007

 The La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club opened in 1927 as the La Jolla Beach & Yacht Club.  A gentleman by the name of Frederick William Kellogg purchased the property in 1934 to create an oceanfront resort. Kellogg changed the emphasis on the club to that of an exclusive oceanfront tennis resort to attract out of town visitors, as well as La Jollan's.  In 1940 the responsibilty for the Club fell to William Scripps Kellogg, Frederick"s son.  William was the driving force behind the resort's success as a tennis and vacation destination.  He oversaw the construction of the Playa Del Oro Apartment and the F.W.

Tuesday, several homeowners in the Soledad Mountain part of La Jolla were notified that they shouldn't stay in their homes overnight due to concerns about soil instability. Wednesday morning as engineering crews were drilling holes to learn more about the soil condition, the earth moved and confirmed what many had feared.The only surprise here is that this surprised anyone. Everyone in La Jolla knows the history of this area, with slides dating back to 1961, but occurring as recently as 1994.Question. What agent who values repeat business sells a client a home in this area at any price? My guess is that many will be asked similar questions. In court. The boom San Diego real estate market led many to think short term. What a shame. 10/05/2007
