Myra takes the Staff Survey


1.    When did you first come to San Diego?
    Although I've been visiting San Diego for 5 years on business my family and I moved down from LA to get out of the rat race and have a normal family in a normal neighborhood in a normal community where people just want to wear normal jeans... ones that cost less than a c-note. A place where no one asks you "what do you do?" or "who do you know" before actually getting to know you...refreshing like a peppermint patty.
