VISTA — It is no secret North County is a hub for craft breweries. Their popularity has exploded over the past decade as San Diego County has become one of the premier destinations for beer connoisseurs and brewers. Sitting along State Route 78, known as the Hops Highway, Vista was recently ranked sixth in the country for most craft breweries per capita in the country, according to an analysis from C + R Research. The firm analyzed data from more than 500 cities. “Since 2007, the number of breweries and brewpubs across the country has seen an average yearly growth of 15.9%,” said Matt Zajechowski, a spokesman for C + R. “Within the last four years, the average growth has been 20.5%. One interesting note is that the greatest year-over-year growth happened in 20132014 when the number of breweries grew by 29%, which was the highest YoY increase within the 2007–2018 timeframe.” Vista’s journey into craft breweries started years ago and were approached with a different angle, said Kevin Ham, the city’s director of economic development.

REGION — The San Diego County Grand Jury has published a new annual report concluding that subpar conditions exist at the Vista Detention Facility. The report, which was published on May 28, says that the facility has a design including “little or no outside area where the sky is visible” and a “lack of adequate natural sunlight and/ or outdoor recreation.” Built in 1978 and the county’s oldest jail, the Grand Jury recommends against incarcerating prisoners in Vista for over a year due to those conditions. “This deficiency has been noted in prior San Diego County Grand Jury Reports and has yet to be adequately addressed,” wrote the Grand Jury. “Older facilities could be used for booking, holding inmates incarcerated for shorter terms and for housing during specific rehabilitation programs.” The Grand Jury is a regional investigative body is comprised of San Diego County residents nominated by Superior Court judges and serve a single-year term. Last year, the Grand Jury noted what it saw as a lack of sunlight and outdoor recreation space at the Vista jail and other facilities, but the San Diego Sheriff’s Department saw things differently. “The Sheriff’s Department disagrees wholly with this finding,” it wrote in

San Marcos pop-up celebrates the avocado By Steve Horn
SAN MARCOS — Though many mistake it for a vegetable, San Diego’s most profitable fruit — the avocado — will have an entire pop-up museum devoted to it in the heart of San Marcos this summer. Set up on the ground floor of the new apartment complex North City just blocks from Cal State University San Marcos, “The Cado” offers up a mix of history, science, culture
and a chance for catchy Instagram photos all in one short visit. It opened on June 27 and will remain at North City until Sept. 22.
