Looking to live on the bleeding edge of hip art, food, and nightlife? Head for the border. Here are a few things to know before you pack up:
1. Make a list of reasons why you’re moving. Rank them according to priority. If “cheaper rent” trumps stuff like “learning a new language,” “assimilating into a new culture,” or “the rare opportunity to hop back and forth between two extremely distinct realities,” reconsider the move.
2. Six magic letters: S-E-N-T-R-I. Chances are you’ll be going back and forth daily for work or school. Before you start thinking about Mexican visas, worry more about minimizing your border wait. Apply for a U.S. passport card, which allows you to use the quicker-moving Ready Lane, or Secured Electronic Network for Travelers Rapid Inspection (SENTRI), the Amex Black Card of border crossing that almost always guarantees zippy entry to the States. â¨â¨
3. Shop on the street. Craigslist Tijuana exists (tijuana.craigslist.org), but it’s mostly in English and obviously geared toward Americans, and the prices often reflect that. Locals stick to vivanuncio.com.mx for finding rentals. The best way to find a place is still combing the streets on foot or by car. Cacho and Playas are ideal starter ’hoods for most gabachos, the former for its urban, residential setting. The latter is beach living, removed from the city.â¨â¨
4. Prepare to invest in appliances. Rental properties in Mexico usually come without a washer/dryer, stove, or refrigerator. You might even need to purchase your own shower head and toilet seat.
5. Avoid fees. Open a P.O. Box in San Diego and an account with a U.S. bank that waives ATM fees in Mexico. Find car insurance that extends coverage south of the border and a cell phone plan that’s free of international roaming.
6. Expect the rent to be in U.S. dollars. And not just because you’re American. The dollar is the preferred currency for most large transactions because it tends to be more stable. Depending on the exchange rate, rent can fluctuate $30 to $50 from month to month.
7. Propane isn’t just for grilling. Down here, it makes the world go ’round, as in hot water for showering and cooking. Propane delivery trucks roam the streets, blasting jingles with phone numbers for delivery service. Write down those numbers. They will come in handy whenever the gas runs out.
9. Bills, bills, bills. You have to pay gas, water, cable, electricity in person. Online payments are not available. Some offices have automated machines, and you can pay at any Oxxo—Mexico’s 7-Eleven—for a small fee. Just know the border isn’t the only line you’ll loathe.

Stake Chophouse & Bar isn’t your average steakhouse. Blue Bridge Hospitality’s Coronado outpost is a modern interpretation of a big-city steakhouse nestled in the heart of the small coastal community. The team at Stake has reimagined the whole steakhouse experience. By prioritizing a seasonal farm-to-table sourcing philosophy, a personalized guest experience, and unique service touches, like a formal steak presentation and a bespoke knife selection process, Stake distinguishes itself in a sea of steakhouses.
Exceptional steaks, including Wagyu from Japan, Australia, and the U.S., and fresh seafood flown in daily form the core of Stake’s culinary identity. The menu features a five-course omakase-style steak experience highlighting house favorites, plus an array of cuts, and classic steakhouse staples—think a wedge salad, baked potato, or pasta carbonara—refined for a contemporary palate without losing their traditional appeal. Stake focuses on seasonal sourcing from the region’s best family farms and specialty purveyors, and incorporates intentionally unexpected touches to create something truly unique.
“I challenge our chefs and myself to take it a step further in sourcing,” says Chef Ronnie Schwandt. “It’s important to us to highlight different farms, unique one-off farms—whether it’s cattle, strawberries, a local fisherman or from anywhere in the United States, we’re always trying to find that niche.”
Beyond the menu, Stake emphasizes outstanding service, says Vinny Spatafore, Director of Hospitality Operations. Staff maintains detailed notes, allowing them to remember guests by name, recall previous orders such as a favorite martini (also memorable for the customer since it’s served in an extra tall, distinctly-shaped glass), and celebrate special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries.
“When you have those points of topic that you remember about a guest, they appreciate that,” he says. “Our servers are really good with that—we have a couple servers who have been here since the beginning and they’ll remember somebody from years ago, their name, their kids’ names, where they live. I’m really thankful to have a great front of house staff.”
Award-winning wines, rare whiskeys, special events, and a complementary black car service that provides transportation for guests throughout Coronado add to Stake’s appeal.
Schwandt stresses that Stake offers more than a meal; they aim to give patrons something unforgettable.
“It starts when you walk up the stairs and are greeted by the hostess—that sets the tone for the night. Then you’re greeted by a server, who may know you by name, and can guide you through the menu and curate as they get to know you,” says Schwandt. “Most people leave kind of blown away; they leave feeling like they just had an experience. That’s the goal, right? Whether you’re serving smash burgers or high-end steak, you want somebody to leave thinking, Wow, that was awesome.”
A closer look at the potential San Diego-Tijuana bid for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games
By Nathan Fletcher | illustration by leslie herman
Olympics illustration
San Diegans have been abuzz about efforts to land the Olympic Games in America’s Finest City and Tijuana in 2024. And it’s not such a far-fetched idea.
It is a chance for two cities to show they share more than just the Olympic spirit. A bi-national Olympics with Tijuana would display the cultural and economic ties of our two countries. It is, at the moment, not allowed by the Olympic committee—but we have 11 years to change that. While two nations sharing the responsibilities would be a first in Olympic history, it would not be the first time that different countries have partnered to host major athletic events.
Soccer has been coordinated across country lines for years. Last year, the European Championships were hosted jointly by Poland and Ukraine. They set up posts along the border so fans with tickets and nothing to declare could cross quickly. We could set up a similar streamlined and secure process to allow easy passage between San Diego and Tijuana.
As for the travel distance, San Diego and Tijuana are next-door neighbors. Compare that to the Games in London. Sailing events were held more than 100 miles away, in Weymouth. In Beijing, getting to equestrian events required a three-and-a-half-hour flight.
Some worry about the safety of Tijuana. But crime statistics do not match those fears. Recent data from The Citizen Council for Public Safety and Criminal Justice shows that New Orleans, St. Louis, and Oakland all have more murders per capita than Tijuana. In fact, Tijuana didn’t even make the list of the 50 most violent cities in the world.
“Picture beach volleyball in the shadow of Navy SEALs training in Coronado, or basketball games on the flight deck of the USS Midway. What about finally making surfing an Olympic sport?”
Apart from the bi-national appeal, many things about San Diego make it a natural fit for hosting the Olympics. Of course, we have ideal temperatures (and who can compare Athens’ gyros to our fish tacos?). More importantly, we know how to manage epic events. We’ve hosted the Super Bowl, the U.S. Open, the America’s Cup, and a national political convention. If we can handle Comic-Con, with visitors from other planets, visitors from other countries should be easy.
Let’s dream for a minute of what might be: Picture beach volleyball in the shadow of Navy SEALs training in Coronado, or basketball games on the flight deck of the USS Midway. What about finally making surfing an Olympic sport? Some Europeans might feel at home watching surfing at Black’s Beach. How about CrossFit? The fitness craze with a massive local following has gone global, and its competitions are now broadcast on ESPN. It’s only a matter of time before the title of “Fittest on Earth” is accompanied by a gold medal.
The Olympics are all about far-reaching dreams and achieving the impossible. They take the greatest parts of overcoming adversity, achievement, and perseverance, and then mix in some national pride that produces moments for the ages. Think about the 1936 Olympic games in Berlin, which Adolf Hitler intended to be a tribute to the superiority of the Aryan race. American Jesse Owens, the son of an Alabama sharecropper and grandson of slaves, took home four gold medals. One of my favorite Olympic moments is when the U.S. hockey team, made up of amateurs and college students, overcame the heavily favored Soviet team. A true win for the good guys—we won the gold medal and the Cold War. (And it sure felt good in the movie Miracle!)
A joint San Diego-Tijuana bid to host the Olympics may seem a lofty goal to some, but that is what the Olympic spirit is all about. It is what we are all about. It is time to light the torch, San Diego. Let’s go!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Does great for my chronic pain.”
CBD gummies are easy to take and do not bother my acid reflux. I find that if I space out taking the gummies regularly (like every 4-5 hours), then my chronic pain is helped. Give it a try. I was convinced only THC would help with my pain, but I didn’t like the euphoria. I tried CBDNorth gummies, and they worked just as well for me. Less pain plus a clearer brain equals a happier me.

CBD gummies are a popular and convenient way to consume cannabidiol (CBD), a compound derived from the cannabis plant. Unlike its more well-known counterpart, THC, CBD does not produce a “high” feeling. Instead, it is believed to offer various potential health benefits without the psychoactive effects associated with marijuana.
These gummies are infused with CBD oil extracted from hemp plants. Hemp is a variety of cannabis with low THC levels, making it legal in many places. The CBD in the gummies interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, a complex network of receptors that regulate various physiological processes.
CBD gummies come in multiple flavors, shapes, and concentrations, making them a tasty and discreet option for those seeking to incorporate CBD into their wellness routine.

How to Consume CBD gummies?
Consuming CBD gummies is a simple and enjoyable way to incorporate CBD into your daily routine. Here’s a guide on consuming CBD gummies effectively:
1. Start with Dosage: Determine the appropriate dosage based on your needs and tolerance. Begin with a small dosage, such as one gummy, and slowly increase as needed until you find the optimal dose for your desired effects.
2. Chew Thoroughly: When consuming CBD gummies, chew them thoroughly before swallowing. This helps to break down the gummy and allows for better absorption of the CBD into your bloodstream.
3. Consistent Timing: Incorporate CBD gummies into your daily routine at a consistent time each day. Whether it’s in the morning to kickstart your day or in the evening for relaxation, consistency is key to experiencing the full benefits.
4. Hydration: Drink water before and after consuming CBD gummies. Hydration aids in digestion and can enhance the absorption of CBD into your system, ensuring maximum effectiveness.
5. Observe Effects: Pay attention to how your body responds to CBD gummies. Keep a journal to track any changes in your mood, energy levels, or symptoms. Adjust your dosage or timing as needed to achieve the desired effects.
6. Consultation: If you’re unsure about dosage or usage, consult a healthcare professional or CBD specialist for personalized recommendations. They can provide guidance based on your individual needs and health conditions.
Potential Benefits of CBD Gummies
From relieving pain and anxiety to improving sleep quality and supporting heart health, CBD gummies boast many potential health benefits. Let’s explore these benefits to understand how incorporating CBD gummies into your daily routine can contribute to a happier, healthier lifestyle.
Pain Relief
CBD gummies are renowned for their analgesic properties, making them an effective natural remedy for alleviating various types of pain, including chronic pain conditions like arthritis, migraines, and neuropathic pain.
Anxiety and Stress Reduction
Many users turn to CBD gummies to reduce feelings of anxiety and stress. The calming properties of CBD promote relaxation without the intoxicating effects of THC, making it a safe and effective option for managing stress and anxiety.
Improved Sleep Quality
CBD gummies may offer relief by promoting relaxation and regulating sleep patterns. By interacting with receptors in the brain involved in sleep-wake cycles, CBD can help improve sleep quality and duration.
Anti-inflammatory Effects
Chronic inflammation is linked to various health issues, including autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular disease, and chronic pain conditions. CBD gummies have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce swelling and related symptoms.
Mood Regulation
CBD gummies can positively impact mood and emotional well-being by interacting with neurotransmitter systems involved in mood regulation, such as serotonin and dopamine. By promoting feelings of relaxation and happiness, CBD can help maintain emotional balance and mental clarity.
Skin Health
The topical application of CBD gummies may benefit skin health by reducing inflammation, regulating oil production, and promoting cell turnover. CBD has been shown to help skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis, making it a promising ingredient in skincare products.
Digestive Support
CBD can help regulate digestion and promote gastrointestinal health by interacting with receptors in the gut. CBD gummies may also help with digestive disorders like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and promote overall digestive wellness.
Incorporating CBD gummies into your wellness routine allows you to experience these diverse health benefits and naturally support your overall well-being.
Factors to Consider Before Buying CBD Gummies in Canada
When selecting the best CBD gummies Canada, we recommend you look into the factors mentioned below.
Quality and Source
Opt for CBD gummies derived from organically grown hemp sourced from reputable farms. The quality of the hemp directly influences the potency and effectiveness of the CBD extract used in the gummies. Choose brands prioritizing sustainable farming practices and using clean extraction methods for a pure and potent CBD product.
Potency
The potency of CBD gummies’ potency is significant in determining their effectiveness. Beginners may prefer lower potency options to gauge their tolerance levels, while experienced users may opt for higher concentrations. Finding a balance that matches your needs and desired outcomes is crucial.
Ingredients
Carefully examine the ingredient list of CBD gummies to ensure they contain natural and high-quality components. Avoid products that contain artificial additives, preservatives, or unnecessary fillers. Instead, prioritize brands that use organic ingredients and natural flavors for a healthier and more enjoyable experience.
Third-party Testing
Only purchase CBD gummies from brands that conduct comprehensive third-party testing on their products. These tests should verify the potency, purity, and safety of the CBD extract, assuring that it meets regulatory standards and is free from harmful contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, and residual solvents.
Customer Service
Consider the level of customer service the CBD company offers before making a purchase. Look for brands that prioritize customer satisfaction and provide responsive support channels to promptly address inquiries or concerns. A reputable company values its customers’ feedback and strives to deliver exceptional service throughout the purchasing process.
By carefully evaluating these factors, you can make an informed decision and select CBD gummies that meet your expectations regarding quality, potency, and overall satisfaction.
How Do CBD Gummies Work in the System?
Once ingested, CBD gummies pass through the stomach and are broken down by enzymes in the liver. During this process, CBD is released into the bloodstream, interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS).
The ECS is crucial in regulating various functions, including mood, sleep, appetite, pain sensation, and immune response.
CBD can regulate processes such as pain perception, inflammation, and mood. Additionally, CBD has been shown to enhance the body’s natural production of endocannabinoids, further contributing to its therapeutic effects.
Furthermore, CBD is known for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anxiolytic, and neuroprotective properties, making it a versatile compound for promoting overall health and well-being. The effects of CBD gummies may take longer to show up as compared to other methods of consumption, as they must first be digested and metabolized before entering the bloodstream. However, once absorbed, the effects can last for several hours, providing long-lasting relief and support.
In short, CBD gummies deliver CBD into the body, where it interacts with the ECS to regulate various physiological functions and promote balance and homeostasis.
Why Should You Try CBD Gummies?
Now that we’ve explored how CBD gummies work in the system let’s delve into why you should consider incorporating them into your wellness routine.
Convenient and Discreet
CBD gummies offer a convenient and discreet way to enjoy the benefits of CBD anytime, anywhere. Whether at home, at work, or on the go, you can simply pop a gummy and experience the calming effects of CBD without drawing attention.
Precise Dosage
With CBD gummies, you can easily control your dosage and tailor it to your specific needs. Each gummy is infused with a precise amount of CBD, allowing for accurate dosing without the guesswork.
Delicious Flavors
Unlike other CBD products that may have a strong hemp taste, CBD gummies come in a variety of delicious flavors. From fruity to sour to sweet, there’s a gummy flavor to suit every palate.
Long-lasting Effects
CBD gummies are ingested orally, allowing for gradual absorption and long-lasting effects. Unlike vaping or sublingual administration, which provide rapid but short-lived effects, CBD gummies provide sustained relief that can last for several hours.
Non-psychotropic
CBD gummies contain negligible amounts of THC, the psychoactive compound found in cannabis. As a result, they won’t produce any intoxicating effects or make you feel “high,” making them suitable for daily use without any issues in regular functioning.
What’s the Difference Between CBD Gummies and CBD Oil?
When comparing CBD gummies to CBD oil, it’s essential to understand the key differences between these two popular forms of CBD consumption.
Firstly, in terms of form, CBD gummies are edible treats infused with CBD oil, while CBD oil is a liquid extract typically administered sublingually using a dropper. This difference impacts factors such as dosage. With gummies, each piece contains a pre-measured amount of CBD, while oil allows for adjustable dosages based on individual needs.
Taste is another differentiating factor. Gummies come in a variety of flavors, masking the earthy taste of CBD oil, which some consumers may not like. We also love gummies for convenience –a discreet and straightforward way to consume CBD on the go, whereas oil requires more careful administration.
Additionally, the onset of effects differs. Gummies may take longer to kick in due to the digestive process, while CBD oil returns faster results.
Finally, potency varies between the two. While gummies provide a consistent dosage per serving, CBD oil may offer higher concentrations of CBD per dose.

New Options for GLP-1 Users
Scripps study shows that some patients may be able to taper their dose and maintain results
While glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agents have been used to treat Type 2 diabetes for more than 20 years, their recent emergence as weight-loss wonder drugs marked a new frontier in medicine. But their effectiveness has left some patients wondering what to do once they’ve reached their goal. Stopping the medication could mean regaining some, if not all, of the weight. A Scripps Clinic internal medicine physician recently conducted a small study of whether GLP-1 patients who had reached their goal weight could maintain that weight by taking their regularly prescribed injection every other week instead of weekly. Spoiler alert: 30 of 34 patients did. Read more about the study here and what that may mean as pharmaceutical companies roll out oral GLP-1s.
