La Corriente — “The Current” in Spanish — may serve familiar flavors, but it brings new momentum to Coronado’s food scene. Set on the corner of the Coronado Historical Association Museum, the location feels fitting for a city so closely tied to Mexico. The space was once home to L’Orangerie, a charming French bistro, but […]

It’s an ambiance that’s rare to come by these days – that small-town holiday feeling that’s timeless, cozy and full of nostalgia. Amid countless Christmas events and holiday celebrations each year, Coronado somehow makes the feeling tangible.

I have always been something of a minimalist. I don’t keep trinkets, I can fit all my clothes into one suitcase, and I have one small box of memories for my entire life.

Lil Piggy’s Bar-B-Q is just that: a West […]

Intuitively, most people would agree that cell phone usage during school hours is harmful to a student’s learning and social engagement.   And in actuality, the numbers are there to back up that claim:  On a typical day, teens pick up their phones over 100 times on average, according to a 2023 report from Common Sense […]

Now that we’ve had some time to process the Port of San Diego’s closed-door decision terminating its lease with the current operator of the Coronado Ferry Landing, it’s clear one thing is still missing: answers.  It was a decision that sent confusion rippling through the community. With no guarantee of a lease extension to Port […]

By the time students graduate from high school, hundreds of people have poured into their academic and personal development, whether that be parents, teachers, counselors, district leaders or other family members, to name a few.
