The 6th Annual URT DIG Hole Digging Competition took place this last Friday at Sunset. As the sun started its inevitable fall, the competitive spirit of 65 diggers began to rise in hopes to reign supreme with the prize of the golden shovel and the title of the world’s best digger. The URT DIG offered four divisions from which this glory could be achieved.
First up was the PLASTIC Division for all children under 13 years old. All children were herded to the digging grid and they took their positions anxiously. Some were scolded for pre-digging as the rules were explained to them. Rule one: every digger has 10 minutes to dig as deep as possible. more >>

The May 3 Coronado City Council meeting saw high attendance as the Council prepared to discuss tennis and pickleball court-use data on Coronado’s public courts. With the popularity of both sports among the community, players of both sports were at the meeting to support space for their respective court sports.
City Manager Tina Friend presented the agenda item with the available data on court usage that was able to be gathered by the City between June 2021 and mid-February 2022, as well as from a city-wide survey that went out in March. Friend added a notation that the City lacks data on non-reserved court time from drop-in use and reservations made outside of the City’s system, as well as data from use of private court facilities such as those at the Marriott.
That said, the data the City was able to gather showed that Coronado resident families made up the bulk of court more >>
This past Wednesday night, it was the final installment of regular season Islander’s girls lacrosse. Traveling to La Jolla High School to take on their league rival Vikings, there was still plenty to play for, for the girls in green and black. As with a win as one of the top teams in the county, the Islanders had an opportunity to perhaps grab a spot in the open division playoffs.
The game started with early offensive fireworks as both the Vikings and Islanders would net a pair of goals in the opening six minutes to keep the game tied 2-2. However, for the Islanders, the early offense would take a brief hiatus over the next six minutes. During that time, La Jolla would hold possession and be able to grab two more goals to make it a 4-2 game. more >>

In September 2018, Coronado was buzzing with Hollywood vibes—“Maverick” had orders for Naval Air Station North Island! The local filming of the second Top Gun movie afforded us with glimpses of movie stars at The Del, nightly crowds of production crew members at the “World Famous I-Bar,” and friends and neighbors spendings their days on set as blockbuster extras, hoping to avoid the cutting room floor. Who could have imagined production and pandemic delays would push the movie’s release almost four years?
Shortly after The Eagle & Journal took off and landed on our doorsteps last Wednesday, however, Top Gun: Maverick finally lit up the silver screen, premiering as promised at Naval Base Coronado’s 1500-seat historic Lowery Theater. more >>
