Look What’s In Santa’s Bag! This holiday season, save yourself the stress of getting “malled.” You’ll find wonderful gifts for the season on Orange Avenue, at the Coronado Ferry Landing, at the Shops at the Del and in other nooks and crannies that only we “islanders” know about…like Artisan’s Alley (see our calendar), or Second Hand Prose behind the library. This year, Santa says: Support our local businesses and their owners who give back to our community in countless ways. Our holiday elves were out and about early this year, and just look what they brought home!
