San Clemente in the national spotlight and local arts scene
A lively column notes San Clemente culture and beach life, citing a car with South Carolina plates saluting T Street, Jennifer Friend's watercolor cover, and talk of autumn closures. It highlights event plans, including Michael Ramirez speaking at an Exchange Club luncheon on October 16, with reminiscences about his Sun Post start and Spendosaurus debate humor. It also covers local fundraising events, casino-themed campaigns on October 18, and residents’ cravings for a gaming palace, plus a Marine Welcome Home festival tease and film soak-in plans.
