Going back 137 years to the opening of the Hotel del Coronado, it boasted 750 rooms, but that counted every closet, nook, and cranny. The true count was closer to […]

The decision was unwelcome to leaders and residents who requested the investigation, but San Diego County Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer said she is not done fighting to determine whether the ongoing Tijuana sewage crisis could pose long-term environmental issues, even after the crumbling infrastructure causing it is fixed.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has decided not to investigate the Tijuana River Valley as a potential Superfund site. “The Superfund program is geared toward dealing with hazardous waste, […]

Purvis, during her comments, opened by reciting her resume. Then, she paused, looked up from her notes, and grinned.

“You know what? I’m really nervous. And I’ll tell you why: Because this is an important job,” she said, tapping her podium for emphasis as the audience chortled appreciatively behind her. “I think this is the best thing you could do for your community, and it’s taken me 38 years to get here. So if I’m nervous today, it’s because I really believe that the City Council makes a difference in this community.”

Long-time city employee Kelly Purvis was appointed to the Coronado City Council, filling a vacancy that was created when John Duncan was elected mayor. The appointment was decided through four […]

It was past midnight one June night in 1968, and two aviators had fallen in hostile territory in North Vietnam. Cmdr. Clyde E. Lassen flew over a steep, densely forested mountainside, searching for them.

As enemy fire roared around him, he used flares to navigate his helicopter between two trees to reach his fallen aviators. But the last of his flares dwindled and, cast in darkness, he hit a tree and began to plummet.

Click to learn the rest of Lassen's story, and about the new NASNI helicopter installation that honors him.

Naval Aviator Jim Stockdale was being held prisoner in North Vietnam’s infamous “Hanoi Hilton” during the Vietnam War. That’s when his wife, Sybil Stockdale, began meeting at her Coronado home with a small group of wives whose husbands were also POWs. This was the beginning of The League of Wives. They would ultimately build a national League of Families that included the POW/MIA movement. Their efforts helped expose and reduce prisoner torture and contributed to the safe return of 591 Service Members. The League of Wives Memorial, set to be dedicated at Star Park on June 21 as the very first memorial to military spouses in US history, has been more than three years in the making. Brad Willis spoke with sculptors Elisabeth Frederickson-Pollnow and Christopher Slatoff, and shares interviews with league ladies from 2019. More of the League of Wives Memorial Project: https://www.leagueofwives.com/

The League of Wives Memorial arrived in Coronado today. The league began in Coronado at the home of Sybil Stockdale, with a small group of military spouses whose husbands were held prisoner or missing in action in Vietnam. From small gatherings around a dining room table, it became a national force and played an essential role in facilitating the return of more than 500 POWs. Brad Willis has this Coronado Story. (*note... the memorial dedication is set for June 21st and is sold out.)

It was an evening of remarkable musical performances at Preview Night for the "An Island Remembers" exhibit that has just opened at the Coronado Historical Association. Brad Willis, a member of the Advisory Committee for this project, that illuminates our community's forgotten African American history, has this Coronado Story.

“An Island Looks Back” is an amazing exhibit opening tomorrow that details the history of African Americans in Coronado, replete with triumphs and tragedies that have gone untold until now. Brad Willis has this Coronado Story.
