A fifth Starbucks is coming to RB
New plaques are unveiled on pathway
BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Those seeking a Starbucks beverage will not have to get out of their vehicles once a drive-thru version is built in Rancho Bernardo. It will be the fifth Starbucks in the community, joining the two in the Rancho Bernardo Vons Town Center — one as part of the center and another inside Vons, plus the Starbucks in The Village Shopping Center — next door to Albertsons — and another in Westwood. The business is one of the latest developments on the Rancho Bernardo and 4S Ranch business scene. Plans call for the Starbucks to be constructed south of California Bank & Trust at 16796 Bernardo Center Drive, according to Mitchell Berner, the project’s spokesman. The new construction project on a 1.05-acre vacant parcel will result in a 1,731-square-foot-building with a 16foot wide and 190-foot long drive-thru lane. He said it will be four feet from the bank’s drive-thru lane that has vehicles exiting onto a right-turn only driveway connected to southbound Bernardo Center Drive, which has a four-way See STARBUCKS, Page A14
BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK A plaque honoring the late Bob Wells for his years of service to Rancho Bernardo plus 15 additional plaques have been unveiled at the Pathway of Pride. Rancho Bernardo Community Foundation held its annual unveiling ceremony on Saturday at Webb Park, which now has 270 plaques along the pathway. Installed at the Pathway of Pride’s entrance is a special plaque to memorialize Wells, who established the pathway in 1993 as a fundraising opportunity for the foundation’s endowment and community grants program. Wells also helped start the foundation and first organized the Rancho Bernardo Thanksgiving Luncheon, which eventually turned into one of the foundation’s major annual fundraisers along with the pathway and a cruise program. Through these, RB’s endowment has grown to more than $1 million since it began in 1988. Its interest along with half of the money given by pathway plaque donors is distributed each November through community grants to local organizations and projects that benefit Rancho Bernardo. The other half of the plaque donations is invested in the endowment, as are proceeds from the other fundraisers. See PLAQUES, Page A14
