San Marcos - A Thriving Community

If you are looking for Roche Bobois, or the Italian manufacturers like B & B Italia, Cassina and Flou, you could be disappointed. But many homeowners are not in that league of furniture buying, and the options are many in this furniture cornucopia in San Marcos.

Furniture Row...yes, that's the name of the road just north of the 78 in San Marcos...offers a wealth of furniture buying (several dozen furniture stores), and some pretty good sales. Right now there are a number of liquidation and going out of business sales (sadly, some are signs of the times), but many of these places offer bargains all the time as well as a wealth of casual, indoor, outdoor, office and home furniture. You can also buy tile and other flooring, mattresses, and cabinetry. Ethan Allen, Plummers, and Thomasville are probably the most expensive from what I have experienced, with a good selection of contemporary and traditional furniture and home furnishings.

"Cater Joe's," I mean Trader Joe's, is Coming to Carlsbad SOON!

Construction at Bressi Village Shopping Center in Bressi Ranch, CarlsbadThe new Trader Joe's will be opening in Carlsbad on or about February 19th. The opening of this popular store has been much anticipated by area residents, probably mostly by those living in Bressi Ranch, the location of this and other stores, including a Stater's Brothers and the Rubio's restaurant chain. As folks in the area know, Bressi Ranch is a recently built and popular master planned community just north of La Costa.

 Just a small aside - when my wife and I owned our art gallery in Cambridge, MA for 2 years we used to have 5-6 new art exhibits per year, with an opening reception. We always bought the wine, cheese and other prepared and packaged goodies from Trader Joe's hence the name Cater Joe's. Other friends referred to it similarly, and with good reason.

 Cater Joe's, I mean Trader Joe's and the other stores will be located in Bressi Village Shopping Center, within walking distance of some of the stores and corporate offices that have also been built. As the first Trader Joe's in Carlsbad (the next closest is in Encinitas), I would expect this to be very popular - I know I will be a happy, and frequent, customer.
