SET IN STONE

A word from the publisher

We did it! We made it through another crazy summer, but now it’s our time to shine. That’s correct, it’s officially Local’s Summer—whoop whoop! Let the fun begin.

Now, there’s much more parking around town and emptier beaches and parks, meaning there’s more room for us locals to enjoy everything Oceanside has on offer.

Speaking of more fun, Oside Flavor is just around the corner and promises to be one for the books. We have a ton of new food and drink vendors and some special performers ready to keep the

evening rocking and rolling. So, grab your tickets before it sells out!

On another note, with tourism slowing down considerably this time of year, it’s now more important than ever to support your favorite small business and keep the local economy moving in the right direction. We promise to do our part as well by continuing to showcase all of these locally-owned establishments through our editorial stories and advertising partners.

This issue is no exception and includes some great features to enjoy at your leisure. Starting with a

look at the famously haunted Hunter Steakhouse, the end of an era with the retirement of Fire Station 1, and, of course, we couldn’t leave out all of our normal editorial columns.

Enjoy the read and thank you for the continued support. We look forward to seeing you all out and about around town.

Happy Local’s Summer, Jamey Stone

Oceanside's Finest JOHN DANIELS

WORDS: ELIZABETH SCHWARTZE

PHOTO: SHAWN DANIELS

At first introduction, it’s abundantly clear that John Daniels embodies Oceanside's Finest. Raised on the beaches of Oceanside, Daniels has a resume of awards and accolades for his leadership in and out of the water.

He lives the dream and turned his passion into his career, and the youth of Oceanside, especially the surfing community, are the beneficiaries of his dedication. John Daniels is the founder, CEO, and owner of Learn To Rip Surf Lessons and a local icon most often found at South Jetty in Oceanside Harbor.

Daniels' East Coast parents arrived on the West Coast via the Marine Corps, where John and his brother, Shawn, were born on Camp Pendleton. Tragically, his father died of a heart attack while working on base when John was three years old.

Daniels' newly-single, yet incredibly strong mother, Blair, then raised her two young boys in Oceanside. Daniels attended San Luis Rey Elementary, Jefferson Middle School, and graduated from Oceanside High School in 2001. Daniels surfed for Mira Costa College and in the Christian Surfers Contest Series.

“ My advice would be to find out what you love, what you’re good at, and put everything into it.”

Shortly after starting at MiraCosta College, Daniels decided to try professional surfing. Daniels spent five years surfing with the World Surf League (WSL). He also made appearances in movies and television.

At the end of his pro tour and judging, Daniels set roots near his home break in Oceanside. Daniels worked as a surf instructor for the City of Oceanside and Surfride Surf Camps. In 2011, he started his own business, Learn To Rip Surf Lessons. Since then, he has trained and continues to train some of the best up-and-coming surfers, including 2024 Olympic athlete and Oceanside local Caity Simmers.

His expertise is sought after since Daniels probably knows the Oceanside waves better than anyone. Daniels coaches and is on the Board of Directors for Oceanside Boardriders Club. With his wife, Jenny, Daniels is growing his own surf team with three children: Harper, 7; Jasper, 5; and Lander, 1. His daughter, Harper, recently won WSA U7 West Coast Champs.

When it comes to leadership, Daniels has accumulated numerous accolades. It all began at OHS when John was named Most Valuable Surfer and was also inducted into the Oceanside High School Hall of Fame in 2006. In 2019, he was named an Oceanside Hero as an Oceanside Street Lifeguard (a civilian that risks his own life to save those in peril) with congressional recognition by U.S. Congressman of California Mike Levin, State Assemblymember Tasha Boerner Horvath, and California State Senator Patricia C. Bates.

Most recently in 2023, Daniels received the City of Oceanside Certificate of Excellence that recognizes Daniels' prolific contributions to the surfing community. A point of pride is Daniels' contributions to the Black surfing community. When he began making headlines on the waves, there were few Black surfers, especially in San Diego County. In February 2023, San Diego Business Journal recognized Daniels for his contributions as a Black entrepreneur in an enlightening article that shared the work ethic and experience that led to his successful business.

Daniels credits his mother, a community activist in her own right, for always believing in him and encouraging his dreams. “If I could give one piece of advice, I would have lots of people tell me I needed higher education to further my career. My advice would be to find out what you love, what you’re good at, and put everything into it.”

A busy father of three, business owner, and local legend, Daniels is as down-to-earth as it gets. He’s Oceanside’s Finest because of his prolific contributions to Oceanside in and out of the water. Thank you, John Daniels (and family) for making Oceanside, especially our beaches and surfers, Oceanside’s Finest.

Attention Oceanside

Residents and Businesses!

The Marine Debris Reduction Ordinance is now in effect! Retail businesses in the City of Oceanside should begin implementing their new eco-friendly alternatives. Purchasing and distributing polystyrene foam in your place of business is prohibited as of July 1, 2024.

Businesses will be required to post information about the Marine Debris Ordinance for one year. A poster is available for download on the City’s website at www.GreenOceanside.org

Residents, make sure you’re doing your part by utilizing reusables wherever you can. Whether it be bringing your reusable bags to the grocery store or using your Tupperware for leftovers from your favorite restaurant, you can have an impact in our beautiful community by going green.

What products are acceptable alternatives to polystyrene foam?

Food Service Providers are strongly encouraged, but not required, to provide refillable or reusable food serviceware rather than disposable food serviceware to customers. Recyclable plastic, aluminum, or paper containers would be the next best alternatives.

What materials are not preferred alternatives to polystyrene foam?

Food serviceware made of compostable and biodegradable plastic, sugarcane, bagasse, bamboo, molded fiber, and other similar materials are not preferred alternatives for polystyrene foam products.

These materials are not recyclable; must be placed in the trash; are not accepted in local recycling or food scraps programs; and do not help the City of Oceanside reach its zero waste goals.

Prevent Food Waste in Your Home

Maximize Your Food’s Lifespan in the Fridge

Side Doors Condiments and Nonperishable Drinks

• Keep the fridge at 40° F or below to prevent spoiling.

• Keep fruits & veggies separate. Fruits release ethylene which causes veggies to spoil. Wash only when ready to use.

• Colder air sinks to the bottom of your fridge. Store meat, poultry & sh near the bottom. Side doors are the warmest part of the fridge.

• Freezing pushes the pause button to extend the storage life of many foods.

• Pack veggies loosely allowing air access. The closer they are, the quicker they spoil.

• Don’t mix leafy greens with root veggies. They’ll last longer when stored in different drawers.

BB BASTIDAS

WORDS: JAMEY STONE

PHOTO: ZACH CORDNER

I have had the pleasure of knowing BB Bastidas for years now. We first met skateboarding at the now defunct legendary pier skatepark. His crew was a lot younger than me, but he always carried a special spark along with some serious Oside pride.

Now that BB is grown, it’s easy to see that he was meant to share that spark with the world through his unique artwork. He found his love for art in his early teens, but got more serious at age seventeen. By nineteen, he had begun art classes at Mira Costa College.

While going to school, BB worked in the warehouse at a skateboard company. Before long, he was doing board graphics for many major skate brands including Baker, Deathwish, Zero, and DGK.

Soon after, he bailed on his classes and, with the help of good friend Shaney Jo of Keep a Breast and a few skate brands, he started to travel around the globe to places like France, Australia, England, LA, and NY. By the age of twenty-four, he had already done art shows globally.

Fast forward to current times and BB is cofounder of CLSICS along with longtime friend Matt Trautt. Matt came to BB with the idea of being the first-to-market with rosin pre-rolls. It was a perfect fit, combining Matt’s ideas and business sense along with creative direction from BB.

It’s been over four years and the brand is seeing great success by providing a stellar product and artfully distinctive branding through BB’s creative vision. Stories like these are what make up the fabric of our Oceanside community, and BB is proud to be a true Osider.

When we asked BB about his love for our city he stated that it’s kind of crazy how growing up here, everyone outside of our zone would say things like Oside is sketchy or dirty, but that edge and diversity was where we all got our pride from. Now everyone wants to be a part of Oceanside.

It’s all good—just remember where you’re at and respect the locals and history of our evergrowing city by the sea.

Stay and Give Back: Oceanside Pioneers New Responsible Tourism Initiative

This summer, Oceanside took a major step forward by becoming the first San Diego destination to join Kind Traveler’s Every Stay Gives Back program, part of a statewide initiative with Visit California. Through this program, we have a unique opportunity to ensure that every visit to Oceanside directly contributes to the well-being of our community. Whenever someone books a stay with one of our participating lodging partners—Marbella,

Beachfront Only Vacation Rentals, or Stay Coastal Vacations—a portion of their stay is donated to local charities that play an important role in our city’s health and future.

Donations go to two incredible San Diego nonprofits: WILDCOAST and Berry Good Food Foundation. WILDCOAST is dedicated to conserving coastal and marine ecosystems and tackling climate change with natural solutions. Here in

Oceanside, funds will directly support the beach renourishment projects, which aim to restore our coastal habitats and help replenish and retain sand on our shorelines.

The Berry Good Food Foundation focuses on healthy food access and education. They provide valuable resources to our community, including school gardens and cooking classes, while also supporting local farmers and food producers.

These organizations are working together to protect Oceanside’s natural beauty and promote sustainable practices, ensuring a bright and vibrant future for our city, residents and its environment. Tourism is happy to support their good works.

Oceanside’s partnership with Every Stay Gives Back is especially significant because it's the first time Kind Traveler has teamed up with vacation rental management groups, broadening the focus beyond traditional hotels. In just the first two months after a soft launch, this program has already raised over $2,400 for WILDCOAST and the Berry Good Food Foundation. Current projections estimate that the program could generate $17,000 yearly to support these local causes.

We’re excited to see this program come to life and benefit Oceanside. It’s a natural extension of Visit Oceanside’s commitment to stewardship and sustainability with the potential to add more lodging partners who all desire the same goal — keeping our city beautiful and thriving for generations to come.

Ten Things You Didn’t Know About Oceanside’s Fishing Barges

WORDS: KRISTI HAWTHORNE PHOTOS COURTESY OF THE OCEANSIDE HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Recreational ocean fishing from barges became popular in Southern California in the early 1920s. Barges were anchored off shore a mile, or several, to offer deep sea fishing. People were taken by water taxis or tenders to the barges. Before barge fishing was available in Oceanside, fishermen had to go to La Jolla to fish off a barge. When Oceanside was able to offer barge fishing, we were described as "a fisherman's paradise."

1. In 1927, Oceanside was anticipating its newest pier with a scheduled three day celebration for its grand opening held over the Fourth of July weekend. The City Council had just awarded an exclusive franchise to Fred Whitney to operate pleasure boats for passengers to and from the municipal pier. The anticipated service provided for deep sea fishing or a day's outing on the blue waters of the Pacific.

A fishing barge was "anchored about a mile and half off the pier to the south in sixty feet of water on a sandy bottom." The barge was 40 x 80 feet and could accommodate 120 fishermen and offered a lunch counter aboard (for those who could stomach food). Transportation between the pier and the barge was by a launch or small boat, the “Scout,” skippered by Court Bartell.

Fish caught on a barge in 1935.

2.

Just days later, however, it was reported that a five-masted schooner, the “George E. Billings,” had been purchased by a ‘Commodore Mitchell’ and Harry Brodie to be operated by Fred Whitney. The “George Billings” was 225 feet long and was to be "fitted up in complete shape" and anchored off Rock Bank about two miles off the pier in a westerly direction. It was anticipated that the schooner would be one of the "finest fishing barges on the coast." The boat was sold the following year to a movie studio.

3.

In 1928, J. H. McCall, operated a launch and fishing barge, but that barge was destroyed by a winter storm. A year later, the Makaweli was the next barge anchored off Oceanside. Sizeable catches of bass and halibut were reported along with 350 pound giant sea bass that summer.

The barge was so popular that Oceanside residents Beth Harris and Ethel Anderson planned a "bridge party" on the Makaweli in August of that year. The following week, ten women attended the bridge party on the barge. Tables were set

up for the card game and the barge was said to have been a delightful setting for an afternoon’s outing with the players reporting that the weather was warm and the sea calm.

4. In 1931, a terrifying incident happened while a barge tender was transporting eighteen passengers to the fishing barge. Jimmy Lawrence was skipper of the “Miss Oceanside” when it burst into flames after an explosion, causing men, women and children "to take to the sea and await rescue." Lawrence tried to put out the fire but instead had to pass out life preservers and instruct his passengers to jump. The boat, after burning down to the water line, sank. Passengers were then rescued by another boat in the vicinity. Lawrence was hailed as a hero for his quick thinking and suffered a substantial cut trying to reach the life jackets.

5. In spite of unforeseen events, barge fishing remained popular. In 1933, it was announced that "extensive alterations and improvements have been made to the barge since it was laid up for the winter."

The “Barney Google,” a 47-foot speed boat captained by Harold Morris, served as a tender between the pier and the barge; and the “Eastern S,” used as a bait boat. The Oceanside barge was moored over a clam bed about two miles to the north of the head of the pier. Captain William Stromberg, described as an “old salt was the "skipper” of the barge.

6.

In 1935, Harry Levy had the contract to provide barge fishing for the city. But fishing aficionados were not pleased with his accommodations and let the city council know about it the following season. Levy told the council that his boats and barge were improved this year and that the public can be assured that his service will be much improved. But weeks later Levy had not delivered and it was feared that Oceanside had "lost prestige" as an angler's paradise. The city council canceled his franchise. Levy's barge, the “George U. Hind,” was declared a nuisance and ordered to be removed. Months later the barge sunk during a storm.

7.

Another barge, the “Glenn Mayne,” sank six miles south of Oceanside in 1939. Twentysix people, ten of which were children, had to be rescued. Two passengers were in serious condition and had to be resuscitated. The popular barge,

Morfun Barge off the Oceanside Pier.

Ole Christoferson ran the water taxi to the barge from the pier from 1935-1941.

The George Billings in the 1930s.

owned by E. W. Bartell, snapped her anchor chair and drifted ashore, stranded in the breaker line.

The “Glenn Mayne” was a 125-foot former tuna clipper from San Diego. It had been in service as a fishing barge for approximately three years. Local residents of both Oceanside and Carlsbad were accustomed to seeing the barge anchored off the coast so much so that the boat's position did not look unusual until it came close to shore. The barge drifted slowly south, carried by a strong drift. When the barge was within about 300 yards of the shore it began to list dangerously near the breaker line. Breakers pounded the exposed hull of the boat. Within a short time, the “Glenn Mayne” had run aground.

After drifting about a mile, bits of wreckage began to wash ashore. It was reported that hundreds of motorists "gathered on the bluff and crowded the highway when those on the Glenn Mayne

began to jump overboard and battle their way through the breaker lines to shore." Rescuers worked for nearly an hour as those on board the fishing barge leapt into the water in twos and threes while a coast guard plane circled repeatedly over the ship.

8.

When Oceanside welcomed its fifth pier in 1947, the fishing franchise and barge was held by partners Poole and Strong. In the summer of 1948, the barge “Morfun” was anchored off the Kelley slough below Carlsbad. Every Wednesday was 'Ladies Day' and free to women.

9.

The McCullah Brothers started operating in Oceanside in 1950. Ray and Carl McCullah of Newport Beach brought in a new level of service to local and deep-sea fishing. They sold live bait on the pier and offered barge fishing from a large flat bottom barge and deep-sea fishing from a 64-foot super day boat, along with boats for group fishing or a trolling boat for charters.

By 1956, their fleet consisted of eight vessels: four charter boats and four regularly-scheduled "day’’ boats which were supplemented by a bait boat, a barge, and a shore boat. Ludy Britsch,

co-owner of the Oceanside Sport Fishing Fleet, along with Ray McCullah, reported that visitors lured to Oceanside by deep-sea fishing accommodations would stay "two or three days in a row” and often bring their wives with them, since “fishing has become a hobby for the women, as well as the men.”

Throughout the fishing season, four scheduled boats, carrying 30 to 60 passengers, departed from the Oceanside Pier four times a day. They were delivered to the barge in "the best fishing grounds" a few miles off shore near kelp beds. In 1957, the McCullah Bros lost their only barge, demolished by an April storm, which ended the barge fishing for the season.

10. As safety regulations made them more difficult to operate, barge fishing began to disappear. But local anglers did not have to wait long to cast their lines when Oceanside Sportfishing was relocated to the Oceanside Harbor shortly after its opening in 1963.

Chef Oscar launched our new Spring Menu with some amazing additions and the one that stood out to BB was the new Grilled Cheese Birria Sandwich. Chef Oscar and Managing Chef Chino Hernandez have put together, with inspiration from their family recipes, their version of a beef birria that will blow your mind.

BB suggested using that birria on a pie and together they came up with the newest “CLSICS Pie.” Name a more iconic duo... launching with our Fall Menu in September. Come eat, drink, and socialize with us.

HERO: JIMMY FIGUEROA RUNS FOR CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT

3

A True Oceanside Native

In the neighborhoods of Oceanside, from South O to Tri-City, one name stands out as a symbol of dedication and community spirit: Jimmy Figueroa. Born at Tri-City Hospital and raised in the heart of Oceanside, Jimmy has spent nearly three decades living, learning, and giving back to the neighborhoods he knows so well. Now, with the 2024 election approaching, Jimmy is running for the District 3 seat on the Oceanside City Council, bringing his deep-rooted connection to the community and a proven track record of public service to the forefront of his campaign.

Jimmy Figueroa’s story resonates with many in Oceanside. As the son of Mexican immigrants, he grew up in a hardworking, blue-collar family. His father, Francisco, worked in landscaping across North County, while his mother, Laura, dedicated over 30 years to factory work before joining a local grocery store in District 3. These experiences instilled in Jimmy the values of hard work, perseverance, and community.

Raised in the Tri-City neighborhood, Jimmy attended Christa McAuliffe Elementary and Lincoln Middle School in Oceanside. Despite facing challenges and dropping out of high school, Jimmy was determined to change his path. He earned his GED from MiraCosta Community Learning Center, then graduated from MiraCosta College, UC Berkeley, and eventually Thomas Jefferson School of Law.

Jimmy’s journey from dropout to law school graduate highlights the power of second chances and the vital role of community support in helping young people overcome obstacles and achieve their goals

Dedicated to Serving Oceanside

For over a decade, Jimmy has been a dedicated leader in Oceanside’s non-profit sector, focusing on under-resourced communities. As the former Executive Director of Operation HopeNorth County, a homeless shelter for single women and families, he provided essential services, helping hundreds of families find stability. A key achievement was his advocacy for NCTD bus route 315, connecting underserved Oceanside neighborhoods to education, healthcare, and jobs, thereby strengthening the community’s economic ties.

In 2018, Jimmy co-founded the Resilience Community Mentoring Program with Vista Community Clinic to support Oceanside youth on juvenile probation. Under his leadership, the program expanded across North County and secured a permanent location in 2021. His commitment to community improvement includes beautification projects in Libby Lake and park revitalization initiatives. Jimmy has also served on the Oceanside Police and Fire Commission and the Police Department Chief’s Citizen Advisory Board, where he advocates for policies that build trust between law enforcement and the community.

"Oceanside has always been my home. I’m running for City Council because I believe in this community, and I want to ensure that it remains a place where everyone has the opportunity to succeed."

Why Jimmy is Running for City Council

Jimmy Figueroa’s decision to run for Oceanside City Council is driven by his deep connection to the community and his desire to ensure that Oceanside remains a place where all residents can thrive. As a lifelong Oceansider, Jimmy understands the unique challenges and opportunities facing District 3, and he is committed to addressing these issues with practical, community-driven solutions.

A Vision for Oceanside’s Future

Jimmy Figueroa’s campaign for Oceanside City Council is built on a simple yet powerful idea: that every resident of Oceanside deserves a voice in the decisions that affect their lives. If elected as the District 3 Councilmember, Jimmy plans to put Oceanside residents first, ensuring that every neighborhood—from South O to Ocean Hills—receives the support it needs to thrive.

Join Jimmy in Building a Brighter Future for Oceanside

As Election Day approaches on November 5, 2024, Jimmy Figueroa is asking for the support of his fellow Oceansiders to help him continue his work of building a stronger, more inclusive community. His deep roots in Oceanside, combined with his extensive experience in public service, make him the right choice to represent District 3 on the City Council.

Built in 1929, Fire Station 1 was the original fire station for the growing city of Oceanside. It has serviced thousands of calls and has been a beacon of safety for almost 100 years.

On July 15, 2024, Oceanside’s restored historic fire engine, the 1948 Mack Type 85 pumper “F4,” joined the procession of bagpipes and drums from the original Fire Station 1 on Pier View Way to the shiny new facility located just around the corner on 401 N. Freeman Street.

City dignitaries, along with prestigious community members, current, and retired firefighters, were amongst the audience that made the procession as the new building was dedicated with all the regalia it deserves, and the original Fire Station 1 was memorialized.

According to Fire Chief David Parsons, “Moving to the new location is bittersweet. Sweet because we desperately needed the new facility, but bitter because there are so many things we love about the old station. It had character.”

The new Fire Station 1 is now open for public service in downtown Oceanside. The 20,000 square-foot, two-story facility is state-of-the-art. The much needed upgrades were designed for larger ladder trucks and crews to better serve residents, businesses, and visitors at one of the busiest fire stations in San Diego County.

The ground floor includes a lobby, training rooms, a five-bay apparatus, and equipment space. The second floor contains inclusive living accommodations for up to twelve personnel. The station is complete with an emergency generator, diesel fuel tank, and rooftop solar panels.

Construction crews broke ground two years ago in July 2022, but it has been on the city’s agenda for decades. Even though all crew, administration, and staff are excited for the upgrades, there is much admiration for the original Fire Station 1. The original building has a sordid history and reputation that will not be erased from the history books of Oceanside.

Kristi Hawthorne, Director of the Oceanside Historical Society, provided the history of Fire Station 1. Opened in August 1929 and designed by Architect Irving Gill, Fire Station 1 is named after the first appointed Fire Chief, Walt Johnson. The “Walt Johnson Fire Station” was well-located and a much needed addition for a growing city of 4,200 residents in 1930.

A siren was mounted on the roof of the fire station and operated by a button placed on the front of the building. Citizens without a telephone were instructed to go to the fire station, activate the siren, and wait for a fireman to respond to provide them the location of the fire. The fire alarm was manually operated by men on duty at all times. Alarms were reported by telephone, but there was no "hotline" for emergencies.

The Oceanside Fire Department had one fire truck, an American Lafrance. By 1930, there were eighteen volunteer firemen, as only the chief,

assistant chief, and captain were paid a salary. John Todd and Richard Trotter would become the first paid full-time firemen in 1939. With the hiring of these men, Oceanside would progress into an era of professional firefighters, on duty constantly, to protect its citizens.

In the beginning, the building also housed the Oceanside Police Department. Hence, the prison cells in the building that have created much of the building’s notoriety.

So, what’s the sordid history? Well, it is reported that the original Fire Station 1 is haunted! Whether the paranormal activity is a rumor or reality, the talk amongst the firefighters and visitors is that Fire Station 1 is most definitely haunted.

For decades, firefighters that slept at the station shared a common story of their experiences. In the September/October 2017 issue of The Osider, we conducted a full-scale paranormal investigation and stayed in the fire station overnight for the feature, Haunted Oceanside. The Ghosts of Fire Station No. 1

“The firemen identified three locations as having the most paranormal activity—jail cell #1, the ‘drunk tank,’ and the women’s holding cell. All three have been converted into bunks where the guys refuse to sleep.”

In the conclusion of the story, the team reported,

“After spending the night inside Fire Station 1, we know the firemen are not alone. Is Johnny Rebovick still serving his jail time in the afterlife? We can’t say for sure. But it’s clear there are multiple souls who either refuse or are unable to leave 714 Pier View Way.”

Some may consider this a product of sleep deprivation from answering calls all night, but each haunting has a similar story.

“You feel this overwhelming pressure, and

when you go to call out, it comes out as a whimper. It feels like you’re being held down forever, but in reality, it’s probably only a minute or two, and then it just lets go,” according to Captain Hayden Harshman.

Since all beds are in the prison portion of the station, some firefighters would only sleep on the common area recliners.

So, moving to the new facility, there was much talk about the ghosts. Will they come along

or will they stay at the old facility? The commissioned artwork that adorns the wall at the new Fire Station 1 incorporates the otherworldly connection between the old and the new stations.

After answering the City of Oceanside’s call for art, Artist Alliance member Sasha Furlan submitted her final piece for consideration after

talking to the firefighters and finding out what they wanted displayed.

There are multiple elements to the intricate piece, including the crossed pickaxes, and pirate-theme with waves.

And, of course, there is a fitting tribute to the ghost.

Furlan emphasized that the firefighters wanted to acknowledge the history of their old station. She joked, “In the application, I told them I put the ghost in the artwork in order to take it with them. Their response was, ‘no man left behind,’ in a joking manner.”

But, there is some truth and only time will

tell if the otherworldly elements of old Fire Station 1 will cross the street to the new facility. However, the grounds of the new facility may have paranormal activity of its own since it was the former site of a funeral home.

Fire Captain Mike Farnham has served eighteen years with the Oceanside Fire Department and assures community members, “We’re proud of our heritage and what Fire Station 1 represents, and we’re going to continue to maintain that level of service moving into the new building. We’re one of the busiest stations, if not the busiest, so all the new resources will allow us to provide even better service.”

development. However, Fire Station 1 remains the busiest.

According to Fire Chief Parsons and the Oceanside Fire Department 2023 Annual Report, there were a total of 24,702 total incidents with Fire Station 1 answering twenty percent of those calls, or approximately 13.7 calls per day.

“In the end, we have a mission, embracing families, and safeguarding communities. To do that, we need to be resourced correctly and have the right answer to the problem at hand,” Fire Chief Parsons emphasized.

Funding from Measure X, Oceanside’s halfcent sales tax, covered the cost of the design and construction. Measure X is largely responsible for infrastructure improvements. The city also received a $3.5 million Federal Defense Community Infrastructure Program grant. Completed by Cox Construction Company of Vista, the total cost for the beautiful new facility was $18 million.

Since its dedication on July 15, Fire Station 1 has been upscaling to meet all the community’s needs. As the transition away from the beloved old station is completed, there are plans with the city to incorporate its heritage into the fabric of our community.

Oceanside Museum of Art will absorb the building and make it a working canvas that will host art and artists worthy of Oceanside’s growing cultural identity. Rest assured, the original fire station, its history, and mysteries will continue to be a part of Oceanside.

Hunter Steakhouse Revisited

The Osider Returns to Oceanside’s Most Haunted Restaurant

WORDS: ALONDRA FIGUEROA PHOTOS: ZACH CORDNER

It’s been almost a decade to the day since The Osider’s very first paranormal investigation at the local favorite, Hunter Steakhouse.

The proven folklore is that the restaurant was built on top of the Buena Vista Cemetery where some of Oceanside’s earliest residents were laid to rest. That is until 1969, when the land the cemetery rested on was rezoned for commercial property.

This required the removal of approximately 50 graves. According to the Oceanside Historical Society, only around twenty graves were relocated to various cemeteries throughout San Diego. This means about 30 bodies were left untouched at the cemetery!

This didn't deter construction and, sadly, may have permanently trapped these souls under the pavement.

We were absolutely thrilled to revisit this paranormal haunt and pick up where the team left off. This time, not only did we reconvene the original team consisting of Zach Cordner, photographer, Pascal Van den Berk, professional paranormal investigator, and Jace Gardenier, paranormal investigator, but we also added Abijah Hensley, photo assistant, and two sensitives, Amber Lussier, paranormal investigator, and myself.

We were raring to go and ready to tap into all the spiritual energy, good or bad, that would present itself that night. Let me tell you that we were not disappointed. Not only did the ghosts come out to play, but they gave us quite a show!

This go around, we came to the investigation with brand new state-of-the-art equipment that allowed us to capture some of the most compelling evidence we have ever seen and heard!

Once we arrived, we took inventory of all of our equipment. First and foremost, Zach brought his impressive Structured Light Sensor (SLS) camera that is capable of capturing spirit forms that can’t be seen with the naked eye. The forms are depicted as stick figures. It consists of a Microsoft Xbox Kinect camera and sensor that is connected to a computer tablet. This is a custom made specialty camera that uses an infrared light projector to recognize forms based on body parts and joints. Many of these were human-like with appendages that appear to be arms and legs, but can often vary in size and movement.

We were absolutely amazed by the footage this allowed us to gather. Zach also came armed with a variety of cameras including an infrared DSLR camera, mirrorless cameras, and full spectrum infrared lighting to light up dark areas

that you can't see with the naked eye.

Pascal brought his “spirit box” which scans am/fm frequencies, allowing actual words and phrases to be heard from beyond. This gave us the opportunity to have a direct dialogue with spirits, and the things they shared blew us away. He also had a FLIR thermal imaging camera that detects temperature variations as spirits can often feel cooler than their surroundings.

Amber brought a digital voice recorder to capture Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP’s) and a Radiating Electromagnetic Pod (REM POD) that’s designed to detect fluctuations in electromagnetic frequencies. It essentially makes a sound and flashes a light whenever a spirit comes near it. She also had a K2 Meter that measures fluctuations in electromagnetic frequencies. This is really helpful as it is portable and lights up when there's a disturbance or a spike in energy alerting you to a spiritual presence.

I am an energy worker and Reiki master. I didn’t bring any cool equipment, but I brought the mystic and the mystique. I have always connected with other worldly, strange, and unusual things. I have seen and felt spirits, energy changes, and all the stuff that most people don’t since I was a child.

I was a bit nervous about this investigation because I can attract spiritual activity and as some of you may or may not know, it really can be like the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland…one must beware of hitchhiking ghosts! I made sure I brought my sage to cleanse everyone’s energy after the investigation, centered myself, and thanked the Hunter for

allowing us to investigate that night.

It’s important to note that what both Amber and I can bring to an investigation is very different from what other investigators can do. We are sensitives and, if you imagine what happens when you put two matches together and the flame gets stronger and larger, that is essentially what happens with us. We are more powerful together.

It is thought that, to spirits in another realm, sensitives appear to be like a bright light in the vast darkness. So, you guessed it! They are like a moth to a flame. Spirits and ghosts seem to flock to us and this was never more evident than on that night.

After setting up the REM POD on a table in the lower front dining room at around 11pm, we split up into groups. I went down to the bar with Pascal and Abijah. As soon as I walked into the tiny storage room at the end of the bar, I heard a heavy exhale near my right ear and, at that same moment, Pascal said, “Oh my god something

touched me! Touched my back.” He reported feeling a light poke on his back as if someone was trying to get his attention.

We asked questions while using a digital recorder, but didn’t get much for about 30 minutes. Then we heard a commotion upstairs so we joined the rest of the team in the second floor dining room.

When we walked in, they were excitedly huddled around the SLS camera. Zach shared that they’d been using the SLS and captured two figures up in the exposed wooden rafters. They were invisible to the naked eye, but it was clear on the SLS that there were two figures, one significantly larger than the other.

The larger one was standing within the space between the rafter and the ceiling and appeared to be waving at us. We all said, “Hi!” and waved back. It was a spectacular find and invigorated us all because, holy moly! We had not seen this before.

The smaller one was sitting on the crossbeam with its legs dangling as if it was just watching us. When scanning the rest of the rafters, we also saw a very small figure nestled inside the hanging light which appeared to be looking directly at us. We were all in awe of what we captured.

We split up again. This time, Amber and Pascal went down to the bar with the spirit box to try to engage the paranormal activity by asking questions

and, hopefully, hearing something through the box. Pascal’s technique is fantastic as he uses a blind fold and noise-canceling headphones which makes it more conducive to experiencing and hearing whatever comes through the box.

He cannot hear what questions are being asked nor is he aware of anything really near him. He simply stated what came through the box while Amber asked questions such as: “Who are you?”, “Why are you here?”, and “Were you buried here?” Essentially, instigating conversation to see if any of the spirits would answer intelligently. To their dismay several did!

Jace, Zach, Abijah, and I went to the main floor dining room with the SLS camera. We immediately saw a figure that again appeared to be hanging out in the rafters. I walked right up to it, and it moved further up the rafters. Then, as I went to sit in a booth towards the back wall, two figures surrounded me and another sat directly in front of me at the booth. As if it was sitting down for a dinner date!

This was amazing to Zach, Jace, and Abijah, who were watching the images from the SLS so they could see everything as it was happening. I rested my hand on the table inviting the spirit to touch my hand, and it immediately reached out to me. I felt a numbing of my left hand and a strong tingling sensation start moving up into my forearm.

While this doesn't really hurt, it is easily noticeable and can be uncomfortable at times. When that feeling grows too strong, I stop and wash my hands with cool water to clear my energy as I don’t want to absorb anything foreign.

Suddenly, we heard Pascal loudly say, “Remy, Remy, Remy.” Anyone who knows Amber knows that’s her son's name. Then, we heard Pascal say, “Dax!” Amber’s husband’s name. I thought, oh hell no! The spirit box was saying Amber’s family members names, making things very personal for her.

The SLS camera shows two human-like figures looking down at us from the rafters. Note that the smaller figure on the left is sitting on the wooden beam with its legs dangling over the edge.

I raced down to the bar to check in and make sure she was okay. I asked the spirits why they were saying Remy’s name and there was no response. As always, Amber wasn’t afraid. She was excited and intrigued, even though it was definitely creepy. She’s a trooper and wanted to continue.

Amber also heard her grandfather’s name, Grant, as well as Remy’s name a few more times. However, my arrival seemed to stop the activity almost completely. I was not surprised as my energy is very strong and when I want things to stop, they do.

It was unsettling that they kept calling her son’s name. As I was heading back upstairs, I heard Pascal say something like, “leave”, which told me it was definitely my time to exit.

Throughout the night, Amber also caught some EVP’s and saw spikes in her K2 meter when asking specific questions. During one of her sessions she asked, “Is someone here?” and the K2 spiked to red, which is the strongest energy level it can detect.

She also asked, “Are you buried here?”, and the K2 spiked to orange. “How old were you when you passed?” and, when she pressed on, “In your forties?”, she got a spike on the K2 and captured a male voice saying, “yes.”

“Were you alone when you passed away?”

The EVP recorded “yes” and K2 spiked to red. “Were you a mother?” The recorded answer was “son” as the K2 spiked to red. This is amazing evidence of intelligent responses from beyond!

On our next round, I went back down to the bar, but this time with Zach, Jace, Abijah, and the SLS camera. What we found was astonishing!

I hadn't told anyone, but I had been drawn to the suspended wine glass holder that hangs from the ceiling almost like a chandelier. I didn’t know why before, but this time Jace said, “Oh my god, there’s something up there!" And sure enough, there was a small stick figure hanging onto the drink holder almost as if it was swinging back and forth on a playground swing set.

I walked over to it immediately and instead of being scared away, it came closer to me. I felt the need to put my hands up in the air. I told it that it could stand on my hands and it was safe with me.

Immediately, the tingling began as Zach and Jace told me that it was standing directly in the palm of my hands. It appeared to be dipping its feet into my palms. Surprisingly, when I moved my hands up or down, it stayed with me and did not break contact with me.

This was amazing and kept up for a good while. I had to stop eventually when the tingling sensation in my hands became uncomfortable, but I was absolutely thrilled with the encounter. I felt like the snow white of spirits! All the creatures were coming out to play and I felt elated, not fearful.

Rounding out the night, we wanted to focus on the second floor dining room where the SLS camera had captured all those images of figures up on the rafters. Zach and Pascal immediately

saw a figure sitting at the table next to me, so I got up and stood next to it. I put my hand on its head and touched it. I also put my hand down on the table, and it touched my right hand. I then sat down facing it, and it remained there for a bit—it was super exciting!

We decided to put Amber on the spirit box while Pascal and the rest of us asked questions. Again, she was blindfolded with headphones, so she couldn't hear what was being asked. She had to repeat what she was hearing come across the spirit box and it went as follows:

As soon as she started, she immediately said, “Go f–k yourself!” Pascal answered with, “What a potty mouth you have. What are you angry at?” Answer: “I’m scared.” Pascal said, “We’re not here to hurt you. We're just here to talk. We mean no disrespect and we’re just very interested to hear your story.” Answer: “Shame on you.” I asked, “What are you afraid of?” Answer: ”I’ll tell you about the bottom.” “The bar?” I asked. No answer.

We asked if they needed help, and Amber stated, “My family. In mourning.” We asked can we give them a message? Answer: “Forty.” Amber also heard someone gasping for air and then said “and then they died.” I asked “Who?” The answer was chilling, “Amber.” And then again, she repeated the name, “Amber.”

It was very eerie and all the while Amber said lots of words and phrases like, “Let me help”, “I want this”, “Daddy”, and the name, “Amber,” several more times.

A hovering figure in the bar is seen on the SLS camera lowering their feet into Alondra's outreached hands.

These words were unprovoked and not in any specific order: “Listen”, “You’re beautiful, kiss me” “Vacancies”, “It’s just too bad”, “Hello”, “Get out of here”, “ Hi, again”, “Kill me”, “Go ahead and get it”, “I’m trying to”, “I believe in Christ”, “I told you.” Usually you hear one or two words at a time while using the spirit box, so to hear these phrases is surprising!

During this session, the SLS camera captured another figure in the rafters so we attempted to speak to it using the spirit box. We heard, “I told her to.” Then, we asked, "told her to do what?”

Answer: “Simon and Mac”, ”I saw her on Saturday”, “Thank you for being you.” We asked, “What happened on Saturday? Who did you see on

In

Saturday?” Answer: “Is there a problem? Because I want to go back.”

Pascal asked, “Can we talk to the person that is not perfect?” The answer: “Thank you”, “Are you asking me?”, “We were in a relationship”, followed by “We raised him.“ At this point, a figure came up in front of Amber. Without knowing this, she said, “It didn't happen”, “My son is gone.”

Pascal asked, “This was an accident? Were there any drugs involved?” The answer: “You’re insulting.” We said we’re not trying to be insulting. Answer: “Trust me again” After a long pause of silence Pascal asked, “Are you

still with us?” The answer: “I like to talk.”

There was so much activity happening at Hunter Steakhouse, we could have stayed all night and gotten many more hours of footage, sightings, EVP’s, and SLS figures caught on camera. We wrapped up around 4am after a long night of paranormal investigating.

Our eventful evening proved that after almost a decade later, there are still spirits residing in the Hunter from up in the rafters to down in the bar. We encourage you to go to Hunter Steakhouse for a drink and a good meal because you never know who may be dining with you at your table. Cheers!

Floating in the restaurant's rafters, a figure is seen for several minutes before disappearing on the SLS camera.

Margaret Alexis Chiaro possesses a remarkable talent for transforming her vibrant imagination into breathtaking works of art. Her creations, which seamlessly blend realism with fantasy, transport viewers to a magical world full of wonder.

“I love a little fantasy, but grounded in reality. So, the world is my creation, but the people are people I know, and the experiences are experiences I have seen,” Chiaro said.

Chiaro is an oil painter and her artistic style is known as Magical Realism, which captures the whimsical essence of life while anchoring it in the real world. She mixes her imagination with reality, often using models to capture anatomical accuracy in her paintings.

Chiaro’s latest venture is a collection titled Nephology, a term that refers to the study of clouds. This collection, anticipated to be her largest yet, takes the viewer on a playful and awe-inspiring journey that taps into the joy and wonder of childhood—something many of us lose sight of as we grow older.

Within this collection, you’ll find works like Cloud 9, Head in the Clouds, and Stormy Weather, each evoking different emotions and experiences. Whether it’s the lightheartedness of a daydream or the intensity of a brewing storm, Chiaro captures the full spectrum of human emotion through her cloudscapes.

What makes Chiaro’s work even more intriguing is her refusal to be boxed into a single style. While Magical Realism is her genre, each collection she creates is entirely different from the last. Chiaro dives deep into each concept, pouring her heart into every piece, and once she feels she has fully expressed herself, she moves on to the next idea.

“I think about [my work] like literature. There might be a sequel, a prequel, or maybe a long series, but there will be an end-point,” Chiaro said. “I’m a human being who paints powerful things. I have a story in mind that needs to be told.”

This constant evolution makes Chiaro an artist worth following. Her work is a reflection of her ever-changing mind and spirit, so you’ll never see her repeat the same idea twice.

WORDS: SHELBY ROWE

Chiaro’s creativity seems boundless, and when asked where she finds her inspiration, her answer is simple yet profound: her imagination. While she draws some inspiration from authors like Christopher Moore and Italo Calvino, the majority of her ideas come organically, and impressively, from within. Originally from the East Coast, Chiaro moved

to Oceanside in the early 2010’s and, soon after, met her husband. They are both artists and educators and have found their creative haven in South O.

“When I started looking around San Diego, I knew Oceanside was where I was going to end up,” Chiaro said. “ It was down to Earth, there was a great community, it was driven to the arts—I knew it was Oceanside right away, even back when it was super gritty. I loved it.”

While Chiaro paints in her home studio, her husband, a woodworker, can often be found crafting furniture in their garage. They are both creative and intellectual in their own right, often pushing each other deeper into their work. When I spoke briefly with Chiaro’s husband, he endearingly described her creativity as “infectious.”

Chiaro’s art is available for viewing at several local galleries, including Distinction Gallery in Escondido, Covet Gallery in Oceanside, and in collective exhibitions at the Oceanside Museum of Art (OMA). Her upcoming Nephology collection is set to be unveiled in about a year, so be sure to follow her on Instagram to stay updated on the release.

When Chiaro isn’t in her studio, you can find her teaching art classes at Studio Ace where her students range from nine to 72 years old. For those interested in learning from Chiaro herself, reach out to her to inquire about her private classes.

If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing yourself portrayed in a magical world that reflects your

personality, then you’re in luck. Chiaro is also open for commissions and her timeless pieces are sure to be cherished for generations.

For more information, you can reach Margaret Alexis Chiaro via her website or Instagram. Don’t miss the chance to explore her enchanting world!

Bringing Back Oceanside Sand with RE: BEACH

WORDS: ELIZABETH SCHWARTZE

PHOTOS: ZACH CORDNER

Save Our Sand (SOS)! Not only is it a plea to help our local beaches, but it is the name of a local non-profit advocating to return and retain sand on our Oceanside beaches.

Founded in 2019, SOS is a group of local advocates for sustainable sandy beaches in Oceanside. With city staff and community advocacy from organizations like SOS, plans are now in place to complete RE:BEACH.

What is RE:BEACH?

It began with a global design competition of three firms competing for the most innovative and feasible solutions to restore and preserve sand to Oceanside beaches.

On January 31, 2024, the Oceanside City Council unanimously approved to move forward with International Coastal Management’s (ICM) “Living Speed Bumps” concept to restore and preserve sand on Oceanside beaches. ICM’s concept offers an innovative approach to managing sediment resources, improving beach access, and potentially enhancing coastal habitats.

The Living Speed Bumps concept includes the construction of two artificial headlands that will aim to stabilize sand on the back beach, and one offshore artificial reef aimed at slowing down nearshore erosive forces. These constructs shall be supported with nearshore and onshore beach nourishment, with the entire design concept collectively called the Living Speed Bumps design.

ICM, based in Australia’s Gold Coast, has decades of experience implementing “speed bumps” on their own coastline, bringing forward

a new concept for Oceanside’s coast, but with a proven track record of success on the East Coast of Australia.

“We are doing something really proactive, coing up with a mid-term solution to help restore beach sand for the next twenty to thirty years. It’s important to recognize that we need a solution. This is worth it, and we can ‘buy time,’” Bob Ashton, President and CEO of SOS stated.

The team of SOS, along with City of Oceanside’s Coastal Zone Administrator, Jayme Timberlake, are excited because, “Oceanside is doing what no other city in California has done! It’s an actionable, sustainable solution.”

To prove our beaches are a priority, Timberlake believed the first step was designating them as infrastructure. Our beaches are now a line item on the infrastructure budget, and the city is recognizing this is an ongoing maintenance project. Oceanside also owns all of our beaches. The project also requires community support because it’s one of the rare projects that’s not a quick-fix. It will take a few years of compromise and understanding that things are going to change. But, there’s a bigger cost of doing nothing—having a beach city with no beach!

“I probably spend more time on the beaches, and I know that we may have different philosophies on our solution to beach erosion, but at this point, we have to do something.”

The next step for this pilot project is to conduct a siting analysis. There will be pop-up events to get community feedback on the best space for the pilot project, but ultimately, the city council will decide. When the location is chosen, the pilot project will consist of a reef and two headlands. The best projection is that RE:BEACH will be shovel-ready by the end of 2026.

The RE:BEACH project is a realization to one of City of Oceanside Deputy Mayor, Ryan Keim’s, goals. He states, “two-thirds of our beaches have no dry sand. We realized in Oceanside, we need to make this a priority, to take leadership, and fix it. If we’re not proactive, it’s not going to get done. Our beaches are a regional resource. Our leaders owe it to our residents to find a solution.”

Keim is excited for Oceanside to be an example for other cities and for our efforts to bring communities together with a project that benefits everyone since, “Oceanside has the

best beaches and we’re going to get them back!”

RE:BEACH will benefit residents, visitors, surfers, fisherman… really, everyone! Because as the inland heats up, Oceanside beaches will be a resource that is more sought after than ever!

There are many ways to get involved and learn more. First, go to the RE:BEACH website: rebeach.org. The SOS pop-up tent can be found every Saturday, just south of the pier. They will also have a presence at the upcoming Super Girl Surf Pro on September 20-22, 2024.

ESTATE WAREHOUSE SALE

Anyone who has driven though South O has probably noticed the iconic prancing cow in front of Estate Sale Warehouse.

That sassy lady’s name is Penelope and she has been diligently doing her job of enticing customers since 1994 when owner, Todd Stephenson, and his original partner, Rick Habicht, started Estate Sale Warehouse out of pure necessity.

“We purchased the building in 1989 and, for five years, we couldn’t find a tenant who could

survive in this location. So, we opened the business to pay the mortgage. We operated as partners on a handshake agreement for nearly twenty-three years until my son Luke Stephenson bought Rick’s share in 2016.”

What began as a clever way to pay the bills has grown into a successful family business and has become a mainstay of the South O community. Now run by Todd and Luke Stephenson, Estate Sale Warehouse provides professional liquidation and buys partial and complete estates from trust attorneys, fiduciaries, principals and their heirs, as well as realtors and retirees.

People from all over North County visit the 12,000 square foot space filled with treasures from every decade, including quality furniture, art, lighting, rugs, and jewelry. They are known for always having a large mid-century modern collection and vintage art pieces.

The website and newsletter is thorough and keeps customers updated with inventory and specific auction and online bidding dates. They

are available by appointment to bid on estates and help individuals liquidate them quickly and easily. Delivery and shipping is also available.

As Estate Sale Warehouse celebrates 30 years of business in Oceanside, Todd said, ”When we opened this area, it did not feel safe. People were avoiding this part of town and the city was not very business friendly. In fact, we had to fight City Hall after being repeatedly fined for displaying our mascot, Penelope, on the sidewalk. Now, finally we are continuing to grow year over year as more people are attracted to live in and visit Oceanside.”

ZITO HAT CO.

On the verge of bragging, Oceanside is home to one of the first rate, full service hat shops and hat makers in the nation. No small claim indeed, but when someone produces with the skill and expertise of Austin Zito (and fellow hat maker Jack Miller), small claims just don’t suffice.

Everything they do here is authentic, top notch craftsmanship, and not sold anywhere else on the planet. Their approach to business and community in general embodies the epitome of the hyper-local retail movement. Beyond that, Zito Hat Co. isn’t just selling hats, they are offering an experience for their customers.

From raw material, size, shape, color, leather work, silversmithing, embroidery, hand sewing, and traditional hat making—literally down to every single last hand-sewn stitch—these hats are 100% made, crafted, and shaped by hands right here in good ol’ South O. In addition to custom hats, they have an interactive retail experience with ready made blanks for the customer to choose from, as well as a wall full of ready-to-wear hats waiting to find their forever home.

From humble beginnings to international mad hatter, Austin Zito himself is as impressive as the retail he sells. Well spoken, well dressed, and a wealth of knowledge about hat making, it really is quite an honor that Zito Hat Co. calls Oceanside its home.

Austin’s approach to people and life is genuine. He told us, “I believe I need to service the community of hat wearers. Most hat makers don’t take on repairs, but I have the skill and it’s just beautiful how significant a hat can be.”

As for the quality of his hats? Second to none. Being made of 100% natural material (sustainably sourced beaver and rabbit pelts or straw), there are no synthetic or plastic fibers to be found here. The leather for the custom fitting is also properly sourced and natural. As for the carbon footprint of these fashion offerings, almost none, as the entire process is crafted in-house.

One of the most beautiful things about these hats is that because of the quality of material, they are made to last. These are the kind of investments that are meant to be worn and passed on for

generations. In a world where most things are cheap, fast, and disposable, the craftsmanship and quality products coming out of this small Oceanside workshop is downright impressive.

Zito Hat Co.’s demure, suburban cowboy, unassuming, but unapologetically cool style fits right into the flavor of Oceanside’s palette. Austin is a born and raised San Diego kid and beyond just a hat maker, his skills span the spectrum from skateboarding and building motorcycles to inhouse retail design. Yes, he and his wife even did the build out of his store from the ground up.

The list of applause goes on, but to truly do justice to the magic they are making, head on over to their South O shop or follow along on IG to see for yourself!

ROSEWOOD KITCHEN

WORDS: KATIE TRIPPE PHOTOS: KEVIN MIJARES

Walking into Rosewood Kitchen feels like walking into your best friend’s house, if your best friend was a chef, artist, former judo Junior Olympic athlete, and art collector all wrapped into one. Meet your new bestie, Josh Ramirez, owner and Chef of Rosewood Kitchen.

Born into a military family originating from Sonora, Mexico, Josh spent most of his childhood moving from place to place. Born in Japan, the family was relocated to the South, with stints in the Southwest and Hawaii.

As an adult, he traveled the world for school and work, spending time in Argentina, Europe, and Asia.

“All of the moving around really taught me to flow with other people’s energies and respect differences.”

It also gave him an insatiable curiosity for other cultures. “Any time I’m abroad, I find the family spot, the music, and the dive bar. That’s always where the good eats, drinks, art, and music are.”

Pulling from a life well traveled, Josh opened Rosewood Kitchen in October 2019. The menu and space was wonderfully eclectic, filled with rose motifs, vibrant colors, art installations, and paintings.

While Rosewood kept their doors open throughout the pandemic (creatively partnering with Booze Brothers to deliver food through a

small pass-through window in the wall), Josh was eventually forced to downsize.

COVID “strengthened comradery and neighborhood ties," but it also pushed Josh to reimagine the menu, pare down, and streamline. With his affinity for Japanese food and culture, the idea of Japanese-inspired comfort food came naturally, and a new menu was born. “It was a breath of fresh air. More minimal, but better quality.”

Rosewood’s reimagined menu has an extensive ramen section based on their slow-simmered tonkatsu broth, slow-simmered for fourteen hours. There are six ramens to choose from and some secret off-menu options (ask about the birria ramen).

There’s a selection of Japanese appetizers (think shrimp tempura, garlic edamame, and crispy brussel sprouts topped with pork sung, a dried flossy, finely shredded pork) and a handful of house specialties.

The chicken katsu over fried rice was deliciously crunchy, brightened by a squeeze of lemon and served with creamy coleslaw.

The shaken steak and fries, a Japanese steak frites, has tender filet mignon bites and is served with what can only be described as crack sauce, made shockingly not from crack but with fresh cilantro, cucumber, and miso.

In true comfort food fashion, the menu also

offers housemade pizzas. “I love making the dough, and we had this beautiful custom-made pizza oven I didn’t want to get rid of.”

Unlike most pizzas where the dough is an afterthought, their dough truly is fantastic. Take it from us, don’t sleep on the Rosewood Twist!

More than just a place to eat, Rosewood Kitchen is a communal gathering spot, where art is collaborated and created through food, music, and ambiance. It’s a place where friends and family pass through to say hi and everyone seems to know one another.

It’s a multi-sensory experience, where almost every night of the week you can find a different type of art, music, or expression highlighted (Monday is “Beats and Eats” night, with local hip hop and sushi specials; Tuesday is “Tokyo Tuesdays” with anime playing and EDM spinning). It’s a feast for the ears, eyes, and pallet, and we’re so happy to have this gem in our community.

FOUR TUNAS FISH & BAR

I spend a lot of time down in Baja. In fact, as I write this story, I am south of the border surrounded by dozens of great seafood restaurants, but all I can think about is the amazing food north of the border at Four Tunas.

Maybe it’s because chef and owner Fernando Gomez and his wife, Vanessa, are putting out some of the best Baja style seafood I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Fernando, who grew up in Mexico City, has over 30 years of cooking experience and it shows.

His take on classics like the Ahi De Tuna are turned up with a slight nod to Hawaiian poke flavors, but still screams Baja. The tacos are all amazing and served with housemade red and green hot sauce on the side.

One of my all-time favorites is the smoked tuna, which they call the bacon of the sea. It’s rich and salty with a ton of tuna flavor. It’s on the

menu as a taco, but you can order it as a burrito off-menu.

Whether you order the seafood stack or the seafood soup, trust me when I say that it is chock full of treats from the sea including scallops, octopus, shrimp, and fish.

One dish that I can’t get out of my head is the Shrimp Zarandeado. Imagine a plate of fresh butterflied shrimp charbroiled and smothered with their special housemade sauce served with rice and fresh veggies. This one is a must try.

They also serve beer and wine to accompany all of their delicious dishes. The staff is attentive, very friendly, and ready to guide you through the many unique menu items. So, whether it’s a dorado taco, Campechana, or Aguachile, Four Tunas will satisfy your deepest of seafood cravings.

Stop in and enjoy yourself, and don’t forget to tell them that The Osider crew sent you their way.

Newly opened PB Poke House Oceanside offers more than just great poke. Chef-owner Sean Montgomery has created a welcoming space that reflects his passion for fresh ingredients and genuine connections, making it a soon-to-befavorite for locals and visitors alike.

Chef Sean’s restaurateur journey began somewhat unexpectedly. “I started from humble beginnings” he told us, “and I’ve always been the kind of guy who kept to himself growing up.”

But when he began working with close friends at PB Poke House, something clicked.

“I loved working in the restaurant, and I loved the feedback and hearing about people’s experiences.”

Drawing inspiration and mentorship from his friends-turned-family at PB Poke House, Sean decided to bring the Hawaiian spirit to Oceanside, but with his own personal twist.

While the recipes remain true to their Pacific Beach origins, the vibe and aesthetic of the

PB POKE HOUSE

OCEANSIDE

WORDS: KATIE TRIPPE PHOTOS: ZACH CORDNER

Oceanside location are unmistakably Sean’s.

“It’s a kākou thing,” Sean explained to us. “A Hawaiian word that means us, together as a community, lifting each other up, we is I. It’s so much more than a word, it’s a lifestyle”.

This sense of community is at the heart of PB Poke House Oceanside, where Sean hopes to become a fixture in the local dining scene.

“I want to be like Norm from Cheers, someone that everyone knows, and create a space where everyone feels welcomed and is treated like family.”

The food at PB Poke House Oceanside is a reflection of Sean’s commitment to quality. “Hawaiianstyle poke is synonymous with fresh.” Fish arrives daily, and Sean spends around two hours each day hand-cutting whole tuna and salmon into perfect poke-sized bites.

“Hawaiian-style is also synonymous with flavor. We marinate our fish so that the flavor really soaks into every bite.”

The menu is curated and streamlined, allowing you to build your own bowl on a base of rice or greens and choose between Hawaiian-style marinated fish or tofu, then topped with a variety of house garnishes. You can also opt for one of their signature bowls, already built to perfection.

We sampled one of Sean’s favorite bowls and the restaurant’s best-seller: the 51/50. It features ahi tuna, half of which is marinated in spicy garlic sauce, the other half in a creamy, spicy mayo based house sauce, krab salad, seaweed salad, slivered white onion, and sprinkled with furikake, green onions, and sliced serrano peppers for an extra kick.

We also tried the Cali bowl, the perfect choice for salmon lovers and poke purists. Lightly drizzled with sesame oil and accompanied by their traditional setup along with thinly sliced ginger, this bowl lets the freshness of the salmon shine.

To wash down their poke, the restaurant offers a selection of milk teas and homemade lemondes. We tried the strawberry lemonade which was the perfect balance of sweet and tart, with chunks of fresh, juicy strawberries and mint leaves, a 11/10 from us!

While the journey to opening PB House Oceanside was a long one – taking around two years– every

day Sean is grateful. “I always wanted to be a part of a beach community and I’ve found it in Oceanside. I fell in love with the people, who have been so welcoming.” Sean said that, compared to San Diego, he’s even noticed that people in Oceanside smile. “It really has that neighborhood feel.”

As Sean continues to build his dream, he remains focused on three core things: customer service, cleanliness, and the freshness of his fish. However, just as important is creating a space where everyone feels at home.

With its delicious food, welcoming atmosphere, and unwavering commitment to the community (hello local and military discounts!), PB Poke House Oceanside is well on its way to becoming a beloved local institution.
