SET IN STONE A word from the publisher
I might be stating the obvious here, but in my opinion—Oceanside is the best city in San Diego County. Yeah, we may have the ever-so photogenic pier, the big sandy harbor beaches, and the historical Mission San Luis Rey as major attractions to share, but we also have a deeply eclectic and culturally diverse mix of talented people here doing amazing work. Building each issue of The Osider is such a treat for us because each magazine we create allows us to learn and share more about what makes our city so special. Just dig into our features on the North County Cruise Night and MLK Roller Skate nights, and you'll see why we're so blessed—I promise you'll thoroughly enjoy both. On one hand, we celebrate the deep roots of car culture within our town by showcasing an amazing night of cruising and dancing in the streets of Oside. On the other, we dig into the weekly Roller Skate night at MLK park— complete with a live DJ bumping out the jams for the kids to skate along to—all while keeping the vibes strong in a safe family environment for the youth of our city. Both events are put on for the love of the game and not for profit. That’s exactly what we love so much about our Oside people; we continually put our positive energy into creating fun for others—no questions asked. Pretty cool, right? We’ll also be sharing some great Oceanside history, personalities, and restaurants that you’ll happily rely on from our humble magazine. Summer is here and we couldn’t think of a better place to spend our days, while sharing all of the wonderful people, places, and things that make this special place our home. So, whether you’re a local, new resident, or recent visitor to Oceanside—welcome to our city, treat everyone with love and respect, and enjoy the vibe! Cheers,
