Is San Diego Next For Big Changes?

April 4, 2015 AceParkingSD No Comments automobile, News, San Diego

In San Diego, there is a well known car dealership known as “The Perry Ford” located just off I-15, the Escondido Freeway, on Poway Road. The car dealership’s request to remodel was approved in 2012 on a Tuesday night. The details were discussed at a council meeting after working on several design applications with the city. The transformation wasn’t like the transformation taking place in South Florida with an old fashion mall as planned by Arthur Falcone, but it was still impressive and with change spreading, is San Diego the next location?

Perry Ford’s plan to demolish two of the smaller car sales offices and have a two-story 17,500-square-foot sales and administrative office was a success. The automotive repair building will receive minor exterior upgrades soon, so is San Diego next? We will see.

Daren_Zenner_boxing_ringWhat does Daren Zenner love? Boxing, his dogs, and the fresh San Diego air. If he is not entertained by all the unique rides in San D he is engulfed in a Padres’ game or the beautiful beaches the city has to offer. San Diego has to be the best city for working out says Daren Zenner, who likes to keep healthy. Its been years since the boxing ring but, that doesn’t stop this fighter from enjoying life in San Diego.

Whether Zenner is going to his favorite eatery or gym just parking can be a long task, and the walk from your car can be a workout in itself. One tip Daren Zenner gives us on parking San Diego is make sure you bring your wallet and your walking shoes.

Eric Gonchar’s Opinion of the 2015 San Diego Padres

January 26, 2015 AceParkingSD No Comments San Diego Padres

We recently asked Jared Londry to give his opinion on the new look San Diego Padres. We’ve asked for the same thing from Eric Gonchar. Here is what Mr. Eric Gonchar has to say.

I read through what Jared Londry had to say and I will say two things.

1. I don’t like lists.

2. Oops, my bad.

Mr. Eric GoncharOn a serious note, Jared’s opinion seems to hinge on the fact that at least something is happening. In my opinion, “something” isn’t enough. Is this about winning or just doing this for the sake of doing things. If you’re just running around signing players and making trades to get in the news, you’re in the wrong business. I think new Padres GM A.J. Preller knows that, I don’t think he’s making moves for the fans or just to make noise. I think he has a plan, but is is misguided?

Preller has a background that is relatively short lived, along with General Manager Jon Daniels with the Texas Rangers, they’re two of the youngest GM’s in baseball. They also happened to go to Cornell together (Hi Andy Bernard!). When a young GM comes in and starts making trades with some of the best in the business, watch out, it could end in self destruction. What does Matt Kemp have left to offer? Preller is about to find out, and the Dodgers front off showed what they thought he has left by dealing him. I consider Andrew Friedman (formerly of the Rays) and Farhan Zaidi two of the brightest young executives in baseball. While also relatively young themselves, this is likely to end up in a book as a cautionary tale of trading within the division.

Beyond taking on Kemp, his health issues and salary, I like the rest of the Padres moves. I also agree with Londry that this season is going to be exciting! Go Pads!

I’d like to thank Eric Gonchar for his thoughts on the 2015 San Diego Padres. Opening day is coming soon!

Jared Londry’s Opinion on San Diego Padres Spending Spree

January 14, 2015 AceParkingSD 2 Comments San Diego

JaredLondryPictureThe San Diego Padres recently went on a spending spree. Did the succeed or fail? Time will tell as the offseason comes to an end in less than a month. Spring Training will see new players wearing Padres blue (and often camouflage). Jared Londry will give us his opinion thus far on the Padres off season of 2015.

2014 was a rough year for the Pads. Before that there were many rough years as well. This tells us two things.

1. Nothing good has happened in a few years.

The Padres finished above .500 1 time since 2007. That means they’ve been miserable to watch. Whether you’re sitting in the stands or sitting on the couch, about the 7th inning you’ve had enough. By comparison, the SF Giants have won 3 World Series’ since that time. That’s definitely cherry picking, but proves the Padres needed change.

2. Something is happening!Padres Year By Year Win Loss Record

I don’t care if Matt Kemp regains his form or not, at least the Padres are out on a limb trying to get better and engage the fan base that has become apathetic. Brand name superstars (as Kemp once was) sell jerseys and fill seats.

Whether they finish above .500 or not won’t matter to me, what matters is that San Diego is relevant again!
