SET IN STONE
A word from the publisher
Skateboarding and Oceanside go hand in hand, but it wasn’t always easily accepted. From the mid 1900s when skating was frowned upon by city officials to the present day where we have consistently attracted skateboarders from all over the world.
We now have four amazing cement parks and a lot of young male and female pro skateboarders who love to call Oside homebase. But how did we get here you ask? Well, in this issue we have a special feature looking back to the beginning of our Oceanside skateboarding history
written by our historian specialist Kristi Hawthorne. We could only take it to the 1980’s because there is a novel's worth of heritage here. It is, however, safe to say it’s now stronger than ever and a major thread in the fabric of our community.
I started skateboarding in 1975 and have been lucky enough to witness firsthand accounts of our amazing history. One moment that rises to the top is the bandshell contest in 1986 that changed skateboarding forever. You will have to read the article to find out how.
Of course, we also have all of
our normal content regarding the restaurants, businesses, people, and unique places that make our beach town beyond special. Our feature on pinhole photography by Brooks Fritz fits perfectly as he is a true skateboarder as well. So, sit back, grab a beverage of choice, and enjoy everything on offer in our humble magazine.
Cheers,
Jamey Stone
Our Publisher has been skating Oceanside since the 80’s, everything from local drainage ditches and backyard ramps to the amazing skateparks we now have on offer.

Oceanside's Finest
The Soultry Sisters
WORDS: ALONDRA FIGUEROA PHOTO: ZACH CORDNER
The absolutely beautiful Soultry Sisters, Toni Lynn Junious and Alyssa “Ajay” Junious, grew up here like many Osiders. Their parents were both in the Navy and met while in boot camp. Their dad was stationed at Camp Pendleton, and despite traveling all over the world, they always came back to Oceanside because it always felt like home. Both girls attended local schools, Jefferson Middle School and Oceanside High School; they were just five years apart! Both were heavily involved in the OHS dance team and continued to dance into college. Ajay even coached the dance team after she graduated Oceanside High. They both credit their dance experience with helping them learn how to organize efficiently and put on a great performance.
Both girls loved Oceanside and felt very comfortable growing up here due to the diverse makeup of our unique community. They truly appreciate the variety of communities in Oceanside including, of course, the large Filipino population, as their mother is Filipino and their father is African American. Their mother, now known as “Soultry Mama,” was the first woman in their family to join the military, following a long line of family men who joined and immigrated to the US from the Philippines.
When asked what they love about Oceanside, both girls bring up their sense of nostalgia regarding special moments in their childhood, such as visiting the Oceanside Library as little girls, where they first got their library cards and stoked their love of learning, art, and creativity.
The Soultry Sisters were most recently awarded a grant from Oceanside's Cultural Arts District to help put on their fifth annual Summer SOULstice
Arts & Wellness Festival, which was held in late June. This idea started from a very personal place between them and their mom, a group of friends and coworkers just coming together to celebrate each other.
It has since expanded because people wanted more, creating a fun, natural way to bring together diverse women to celebrate each other and the beginning of the summer season. It allows them to showcase their art and creativity as well as provide workshops about various wellness topics. The festival is open to the Queer, Trans, BIPOC community, but of course, everyone is welcome.
The sisters feel that summer is the perfect time to start goals, connect with nature, and start fresh. Toni Lynn shared, “Summertime is when we have more energy, plants are blooming, and we really want to connect our festival to the natural cycles and seasons as well as create a reunion for our community.”
They wanted their festival to serve as a love letter back to the Oceanside community that inspires them. They also wanted their event to be more affordable so more people could enjoy it. Hosting it downtown brings people to the coast and aids in accessibility, as many come from all over the country. The support from the Cultural Arts District has really helped them grow, giving attendees fresh new lenses to see their town and get to know the people and things one might normally overlook.
They also hosted an art walking tour of Oceanside to show people the array of murals and Artist Alley. They walk down to the pier, cruise along the Strand, and end at Artist Alley, showcasing
all that Oceanside has to offer. Their festival is an eclectic mix of art and wellness. Ajay shared, “We wanted to take all of what we do and blend it together and share it. We want to break down the barriers of who is the artist and who is the healer and give everyone a space. We believe that we all have something to offer, to give and something to share within arts and wellness.”
These amazing sisters are such a force, full of good vibes and even better intentions for their Oceanside community. Ajay is a performing artist who encompasses director/choreographer, actor, and dancer, and recently received her Master of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre from San Diego State. Ajay also has a private pilates practice and serves a variety of clientele in North County.
Toni Lynn is a healing artist, community herbalist, community researcher, yoga teacher, and holds a Master of Public Health. Currently, she works in Black maternal health and loves it! The Soultry Sisters also host a virtual book club on YouTube Live. Because they love to stay active, they host a monthly walk, “The Step ’N Stride challenge,” as well as in-person meetups! What don’t they do? They are powerhouses, which is why we are excited to feature the Soultry Sisters as Oceanside’s finest for all the wonderful contributions they tirelessly share with our town. We are very proud of them and look forward to seeing what else they share with our community in the future.

Ignite Coffee Company
WORDS: KATIA BRUNSON PHOTOS: KEVIN
MIJARES
Like all great American business ventures , Ignite Coffee Company started in a garage with a guy and his dream. Tyler Whitehead found his calling at a local coffee shop where he studied during his senior year of business school at San Diego State. It was a place where he found genuine connection and community—where the baristas welcomed him by name and where he formed the relationships that piqued his interest in the coffee business.
After saving for his first coffee bean roaster and watching plenty of “How To” videos on YouTube, Tyler started roasting and selling beans from his dad’s garage. “The process of making beans into coffee passes through many hands,” Tyler shared. Now, as an insider in the coffee supply chain, he makes a conscious effort to source beans ethically harvested from various regions like Costa Rica, Honduras, and El Salvador, with each region offering a distinct flavor profile. The house espresso blend he serves uniquely combines different regions, forming the base for their espresso drinks
and specialty lattes featuring house-made syrups. Tyler learned about running a business from the front lines. His dad was the owner of Ty’s Burger House on Mission Avenue for fifteen years—an iconic Oceanside eatery that closed in 2025 to the disappointment of many locals. Tyler fondly remembers working for his dad as a teenager: “It truly was an MBA type of experience.”
Equipped with this education, Tyler opened Ignite Coffee Company’s doors in 2023, located just a block above where Ty’s used to be. It stands out as the sophisticated new kid on the block, with its minimalist, bold, “black-like-my-coffee” facade. Tyler is proud to be following in his father’s footsteps as an Oceanside business owner. “It’s a city with a strong sense of community and diversity,” he said, “and it’s giving way to a new generation of business owners who value the balance between the old and the new.”
Ignite Coffee Company structures its business model to accommodate serving specialty lattes in a good, old-fashioned brick-and-mortar shop,
while also offering a wholesale program. This program supplies customizable blends of roasted beans for food service, office breakrooms, or anyone looking to provide unique, quality coffee service to their own customers.
Like the best coffee shops, Ignite Coffee Company offers a friendly, neighborhood experience, conveniently located on your way to the beach. It’s a place where you can feel like part of the community, so take a moment to relax on Ignite’s outdoor back patio with a brown sugar latte. The Wi-Fi is great, the baristas are welcoming, and you can get your drip coffee without a drop of pretentiousness. You’ve found your local coffee shop, proudly roasted in Oceanside, CA.

The Pinhole Photography of Brooks Fritz
WORDS: ELIZABETH SCHWARTZE
PHOTOS: BROOKS FRITZ
Welcome to the world of photographer Brooks Fritz. The beauty of the world in color is simply as captivating in the realm of black and white. His style is poignantly enrapturing because Brooks sees the world through a photographer’s lens, capturing a moment in time. Brooks believes the camera is a time machine and its gift is the photo. With the photo from the camera, an evocative memory is produced and that moment is forever etched in time. The camera as a time machine— such a cool concept!
Brooks has been an extraordinary time capsule for Oceanside with his camera. “Oceanside is all I know; I moved here when I was four,” he exuded. The Fritz family originated from San Diego and owned Angler’s Bait & Tackle in Mission Bay. In the 1980s, Brooks’ father was delivering bait to Oceanside and immediately understood and appreciated its authentic vibe. Shortly after, in 1985, the Fritz family relocated to Oceanside. Growing up in the ’80s, Oceanside was definitely authentic, and all that rich authenticity made an impression. Brooks attended South Oceanside Elementary, Lincoln Middle School, and graduated from Oceanside High School in 1999.
His photography journey began around 2000, fresh out of high school, when he was gifted a Canon AE-1 for Christmas.
Photographer Brooks Fritz
Brooks' pinhole camera obscura took over 3 years of trail and error to figure out the proper exposure time and image framing for a camera with no viewfinder.
“I met Brooks Fritz when I was teaching photography at MiraCosta College. Brooks stood out as a young photographer who was interested in exploring many aspects of the medium pursuing fine art to commercial. He has become a versatile, professional photographer. I’m proud to say he was one of my talented students.”
—Peggy Jones, MFA Professor emeritus
“I shot my first roll of film and haven’t stopped!” he said. “It made me realize it’s a time machine. You can go back and look at the photo and remember—it brings you back to that time frame, those feelings. I can capture just one moment in time. Back in 2000, pictures were to preserve memories; they weren’t instant gratification. We had to wait until the film was developed to see what memories we captured.”
Brooks is a darkroom expert, and even though digital cameras (including smartphones) have provided instantaneous photographic recognition, the beauty of uncovering a hidden memory via a photo in a darkroom is something he appreciates and finds exciting decades later.
Brooks also possesses a very unique photography skillset that The Osider is stoked to feature. His specialty is the pinhole camera obscura.
What is a pinhole camera obscura? It is “the simplest form of optical camera, using no lens. The magic of the pinhole camera relies on a fundamental principle of optics: light travels in
straight lines. Because rays from the top of an object pass downward through the pinhole, and rays from the bottom pass upward, the projected image appears upside down and reversed.”
Or, as Brooks put it in basic terms, “it’s literally a hole in a box.” Endearingly, he stated, “film photography is like a math equation. The math equation for this is a little more complicated. But what’s cool is this is how the very first photo was ever made. I’m just doing the same thing.”
Brooks continued to describe his craft: “As simple as pinhole is—being that it has no lens, no viewfinder—it’s the hardest photography I’ve ever had to do! You get one photo per roll, so you better like photography because the patience required is insane.”
In the mid-2000s, Brooks enrolled in Photo 101 at MiraCosta Community College. Little did he know the professor was a nationally renowned pinhole camera photographer, Peggy Jones. He loved it immediately and enrolled in the course as many times as MiraCosta would allow. He
learned the craft of pinhole photography and how to work the darkroom.
Along with his photography skills, Brooks meekly refers to himself as the “Darkroom Dungeon Master.” He also credits his time at MiraCosta for perfecting his craft in the darkroom.
Being able to travel with freelance photography, provide for his family with his passion, and do what he loves has been a sweet ride so far. He credits his mom, dad, his wife, Sarah, daughter, Brooklyn, and son, Levi, for always pushing him to be the “photo nerd” who documents the world around him.
Brooks’ overall perspective on his passion: “I just want to take photos and stay in the background. And if you appreciate my photos—cool. I love photography because you can capture time. That’s 100 percent why I do it.”
Film Haus Photo Walk
WORDS: KATIE LALICATA PHOTOS: ZACH CORDNER
Film Haus is yet another testament to the soul of a community driven by arts and culture. For Dustin and Jacklyn Gebhard, it started simple enough: an obsessive consumption of photography, vintage cameras, and film.
Slam passion into purpose and that “what kind of impact do we want to have” mindset, and Film Haus is born. This ingenuity is not just what sets them apart but is what makes Film Haus an epic contribution to the pulse of the arts culture here in Oceanside.
As a business, they are a film lab. Film Haus is a one stop shop for all things film. They sell film, develop film, digitize film, and have a black room. They work with professionals and newbies alike, even those who have just bought their first film
camera and can’t figure out where to put the batteries. Even better, if you happen to find some old negatives from the ‘70s, they’ll bring those puppies back to life, too.
The real story here lives not in the services they offer, although the services are noteworthy indeed, but the real vibrancy of Film Haus lies in the tenacious depth of character Jacklyn and Dustin bring to the table. Their contributions towards the art and photography community here are endless. For starters, they host monthly “art walks,” meaning they host open invitation events for like minded individuals who want to geek out on the process of creativity. Once a month, sometimes every other month, they bring people together who want to take rad photos of rad things. It’s quite simple.
Show up. Bring the camera, bring the friends, and gather with others who share a desire to connect and celebrate the creative spirit.
In the past these “art walks” have happened locally in Oside. Recently, they’ve set up an epic outing in collaboration with the local local lowrider car clubs to truly capture and extol the spirit of Oceanside. They’ve also gathered in places like San Juan Capistrano, presenting a different yet alluring aesthetic and landscape perfectly poised for shooting photos on film.
To continue the brag about the Gebhard’s, their palpable conviction about building spaces for people to connect and create is so dope because it’s grounded in real authenticity. The vision lives in Dustin’s words, “Yeah, you want to

start a business and it’s great to make money and be able to keep the doors open, but at the end of the day, what kind of impact do you want to make?”
And in a world hungry for substance, connections, community, creativity, and the joy of process, the Gerhard’s are serving all of this up generously. Why? As Dustin simply puts it, “Because it’s important.”
And next in their bag of tricks? They’re stoked to offer a collaborative art show co-hosted by local artist Obscure! This event is happening late summer. They’ve put out a call to all artists to submit their work by July 11. Photographers, painters, sculptors, and beyond—all creatives are welcome to join. The event date and location will be announced soon!
As for where to find them? Their store front just recently landed them in proper downtown Oside on Freeman Street tucked just beside the post office and the mailbox store. It’s cute, it’s vintage, it's cozy and functional. Not just a place for them to do business but a hub for community and creativity to thrive.
Follow along on IG to stay updated on events or to reach out with any questions. Dustin emphasized his deep authentic disposition to being a value add to the places he occupies. Dustin and Jaclyn are doing this not just to fortify a camera community but to make it one where people can shine. Film Haus is located at 106 S. Freeman

OCEANSIDE’S SKATEBOARD LEGACY
Oceanside has its rightful place in skateboard history: hosting skateboarding events, producing local superstars, along with an international skate magazine and a world-renowned skateboard manufacturer. Here’s a look at the early history of skateboarding.
WORDS: KRISTI HAWTHORNE
Historical Oceanside
The earliest mention of a skateboard was found in a 1929 newspaper article from Woodland, California. Referred to as “go devils,” the newspaper explained that this was a combination of wheels from skates nailed to a slender board. War was declared on the contraption by Chief of Police Perry Lawson, stating “that youngsters were getting careless about using busy sidewalks, and it must be stopped.”
By 1959 home-made skateboards made news again in Southern California. The concept of the skateboard was said to have been inspired from surfing movies, particularly a “surf enthusiast” who used his newly fashioned skateboard to ride cement ramps at La Jolla. As their popularity grew it was noted by police along with worried parents that these homemade inventions could reach downhill speeds as fast as 27 mph.
Oceanside resident Rod Miller claimed to have started the trend in 1957. He said that he and six friends living in Henie Hills made their skateboards from wheels and “two-foot lengths of 2x4s.” In a letter to the editor of the Oceanside Blade-Tribune he added, “Someone saw what we did and took it commercial. That’s where and how skateboards were created.”
Skateboards became so popular, police in Newport Beach described them with hyperbole: “Arm a small boy with an atomic warhead, shoot him out of a cannon into a crowd of people and he wouldn’t be any more dangerous than if you perched him precariously on a small board, mounted on four skate wheels and aimed him down a busy sidewalk.”
Vince Eaton and friends, which included Dave Ranson, Cody Munhofen, and others, documented their skateboard skills on Cassidy Street in the 1960s. They practiced their surf moves on home-made boards while they waited for waves.
In 1964 Tommy Ryan was an eleven-year-old “skateboard champion” from San Diego featured in Life magazine. He visited the Value-Fair shopping center in Oceanside to show off his skills. His “Dart” skateboard sold for $3.69. No doubt his visit here inspired others.

Historical Oceanside
As skateboards continued to grow in popularity and were mass-produced, concerns grew as newspapers reported increased injuries and hospitalization. In 1975 skateboards were prohibited in downtown Oceanside when the City Council voted to ban them from sidewalks and “heavily traveled streets.” The Traffic and Safety Committee found skateboards “a traffic hazard when they are mixed in with pedestrians and heavy vehicular traffic.” The ordinance prohibited skateboards and roller skates upon the roadway and upon the sidewalks in any business district.
Letters of protest from parents to skaters poured into the editor of the local paper. Teresa Calcagno wrote, “I think that you will find that most
people that spend seven or eight dollars on the board and a few dollars on the wheels aren’t too happy about this.” An anonymous skater wrote, “if they don’t want us to ride them in public places, they should at least make a place where only skateboards could be ridden.”
In spite of the ban, the Oceanside Parks and Recreation Department held a skateboard contest that year in the Pier Amphitheater. Registration was 50 cents and trophies were Bahne skateboards, T-shirts, and other prizes that were awarded to the top finishers in “freestyle” and “small ramp divisions” in three age groups. Oceansider Bobby Boyden won first place in freestyle and first in slalom. His brother Richard won both events in
the over-sixteen-years division. Bobby Boyden went pro in 1977 at the age of thirteen.
In 1976 Oceanside’s second skateboard contest brought 100 contestants and 3,000 spectators. The Pacific Skateboard Association handled the judging and the event brought major skateboard manufacturers along with a leading skateboard magazine for publicity.
The world of amateur and professional skateboarding was a perfect fit for Oceanside to

host with the pier, beach, and waves as the setting. The 1978 contest hosted 160 amateurs and 60 professionals, and a crowd of over 3,000 packed the pier area. The event was so big that the preliminaries did not end until 8:30pm, some two hours later than scheduled.
In 1976 and 1978 Ty Keith captured the title of the eight-and-under Novice division in Oceanside’s amateur freestyle contest. At eight years old Keith was considered a phenom, winning four tournaments in freestyle. The young skater gave credit to Randy Travers of Oceanside. “Randy
came over, he brought a skateboard with him and showed me how to ride it. I tried it, and I loved it. I’ve loved it ever since.”
After a brief hiatus in 1983, the Freestyle Competition returned to the Pier Amphitheater, collaborating with the National Skateboard Association and the California Amateur Skateboard League. The professional world champions from Sweden and Canada competed. Local skaters included Pete Finlan, Adrian Demain, and Matt Richards of Oceanside, Paul Hiniker of Carlsbad, along with Tony Hawk, who would become the most famous skateboarder in the world.
In spite of its popularity, skateboarding was largely considered a nuisance. In September 1983, Bryan Ridgeway was ticketed for skateboarding on South Tremont Street. He was working for Tracker Designs Limited, located at 1016 South Tremont, and was actually using one of the company skateboards when he was pulled over by police near Wisconsin Avenue. He was cited for violating Oceanside traffic code 12-4, which stated it was illegal to ride a skateboard upon any roadway or upon any sidewalk or public plaza in any business district within the city of Oceanside. The fine for the ticket was $10. Tracker Designs owner Larry Balma, who started producing skateboards in 1975, found the ticket slightly amusing and said

Historical Oceanside
his attorney would fight it on behalf of his employee. Ridgeway said he didn’t understand why he was given a ticket; he was on a business trip delivering magazines down the street. “I wasn’t even going over the speed limit.”
The sport continued to evolve with new maneuvers and tricks, with boarders stretching the limits. Oceanside hosted the National Skateboard Association 1986 Series for a two-day contest at the beach stadium, where more than 150 of the world’s top pros and amateurs performed for part of the $6,500 in prize money. Natas Kaupas, an
innovative skater, changed skateboarding at the event with his first-ever attempt of a boardslide on a handrail. This revolutionary attempt changed the landscape of street skateboarding forever.
One of the favorite skateboard spots in Oceanside was the famous Shell Bowl on Pacific Street at Marron Street. The Shell Bowl was made legendary in stories and skateboarding magazines. It was described as a place to “grab rad rides” on the steep five-foot-high banks. It was also idyllic because of its proximity to the blue Pacific Ocean. After three years this world-famous location
was put out of operation largely because of complaints from neighbors in 1986.
The city began posting signs prohibiting skateboarding at the Shell, but they were ignored. City officials said they were fearful of lawsuits from injured skateboarders. In April 1986, city crews began the process of altering the bowl while skateboarders protested. Thirteen-year-old Jamey Stone vividly remembers watching in disbelief as the Shell Bowl was ruined for skating forever. Larry Balma, owner of Tracker and TransWorld SKATEboarding Magazine, was also on hand, and took Oceanside to task after decimating the Shell with rocks to prevent further skateboarding. It was the end of an all-too-brief era. TransWorld, based in Oceanside, was not only a promoter of skateboarding, it helped to grow the sport and its influence cannot be overstated.
Professional skateboarder and industry icon Jim Gray, Joe Bowers co-founder of Alien Workshop and along with Bryan Ridgeway from TransWorld SKATEboarding , advocated for a skatepark, saying skateboarders need a place of their own: “If you don’t build them, kids will ride in the streets, they’ll ride where they have to. The city has built baseball fields and facilities for other sports. Skateboarding has become a sport and not a hobby.”
Skaters would have to wait fifteen years for an Oceanside skate park. In December of 2001 a temporary downtown skatepark opened, but since then five skateparks fulfilled the dreams of those early amateurs and legends with the addition of skateparks at Martin Luther King Park, Melba Bishop Park, John Landes Park, Libby Lake Park, and Prince Park.

Seeing your friends’ kids do good things is a beautiful thing, and second-generation Osider Jacob Fleming is surely making his father, Mike, very proud. Jacob grew up in the Tri-City area and spent the first part of his young life following in his pop's footsteps with competitive basketball, playing all the way through high school. At the same time, he had a real passion for art and explained that he has always had a sketchbook on hand to hone his skills.
After high school, the young artist decided to chase that dream by enrolling at MiraCosta College for studio arts. He later transferred to San Diego State University (SDSU), where he is set to receive his Associate of Arts degree in studio

arts in 2027. He enjoys many mediums of art, but he is incredibly talented with an airbrush gun. Jacob has created murals for local businesses like The Privateer. He also designs custom shoes, clothing, surfboards, and anything else you could imagine. His work is remarkably detailed and true to life. He also plans to pick up tattooing in the near future. Currently, Jacob works construction with his dad while taking on art projects on the side as he completes his college education. The City of Oceanside serves as his inspiration, and he loves the culture he grew up around in our beautiful city. His mom, Amber, has always been highly supportive but has made it clear that education comes first, and he is well on his way to achieving his goal.
"Futuristik" is his art moniker, which fits his style perfectly as he blends traditional art forms with the street culture he grew up with. Jacob noted that he wanted to thank some of the people who have helped him along the way: Charlie and Sage at The Privateer, Char Boogie, Jason and Willie at Chemistry Surfboards, Jason and Eric Betts at Arcade Tattoo, his professors at both MiraCosta and SDSU, June Bug Agras, everyone in his family, and, most importantly, God for blessing him with the gift of being an artist.

OMA EXPANSION
WORDS: ELIZABETH SCHWARTZE
PHOTOS: ZACH CORDNER
Oceanside Museum of Art is an Oceanside cultural destination with a mission of “Bringing People Together to Explore the Art and Stories of Southern California Artists.” In 1995, a core group of art enthusiasts began showcasing the collective culture of Oceanside’s art scene and named it Oceanside Museum of Art, often referred to as the abbreviated version—OMA.
Present-day, OMA is now a world-class destination welcoming approximately thirty thousand visitors annually. Currently, OMA occupies two buildings of prime real estate in downtown Oceanside—but will soon occupy three buildings! The first building is their original 1997 location in the original Oceanside City Hall. Oceanside City Hall was designed and built in 1934 by the famous architect, Irving J. Gill.
Their second building added fifteen thousand square feet in 2008 as a contemporary, three-level expansion known as “Central Pavilion” designed by Frederick Fisher. Now, the original Irving J. Gill 1929 Fire Station 1 will complete the OMA series as the third building in the much-anticipated expansion.
The aesthetics of the contemporary Central Pavilion blend seamlessly between two iconic, historic Irving J. Gill buildings: one that OMA has occupied since 1997 and one that OMA plans to restore to its original design and complete their three-building modernist master plan. The OMA
city block will be “Gill to Gill,” and the anticipated groundbreaking is summer 2027 with fourteen months expected for completion.
When Oceanside’s busy Fire Station 1 moved to its state-of-the-art facility in August 2024, OMA had already begun the ten million dollar fundraising process, which included a space utilization study. In 2023, a feasibility study was conducted.
The “litmus” test involved interviewing forty people, twenty of whom were not overly familiar with Oceanside. The feasibility study confirmed that seventy-five percent of the participants felt that Oceanside was growing in the art, culture, and culinary scene.
In 2017, the California Arts Council gave Oceanside the designation as a cultural district, which elevated the status of the arts and culture scene as Oceanside Cultural District. The museum expansion will help grow the arts and culture scene by providing space for art education, gallery space, art in public places, and more meeting space. Upon completion, OMA will occupy one city block!
According to Maria Mingalone, Executive Director of Oceanside Museum of Art, "Oceanside Museum of Art's expansion is about more than adding space. It is about safeguarding the artistic legacy and architectural history in Southern California while creating a place where our community's identity can continue to evolve
ARCHITECTURAL RENDERINGS OF OMA'S NEW EXPANSION
through creativity, connection, and shared experiences. By creating room for more Southern California artists to share their work, for more students to experience the creative process firsthand, and for more residents and visitors to gather, reflect, and connect, we are investing in the cultural heart of Oceanside. The extraordinary support for this project reflects a shared belief that the arts help define who we are, strengthen our local economy, and ensure that future generations inherit a community where creativity continues to flourish," she said.
Registered with the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, one of the most exciting elements of the expansion is the restoration of Fire Station 1 to its 1929 accuracy (with modifications for current public safety standards). Over the years, the Oceanside Fire Department had to adapt the building to meet its needs—a lot changes in one hundred years of firefighting! For example, the truck bays had to be enlarged as fire trucks were built bigger.
With the restoration and expansion, the beauty of Irving J. Gill’s architecture will be a historic art piece in its own right. Kristi Hawthorne with the Oceanside Historical Society anxiously awaits the restoration of Fire Station 1.
“Out of necessity, it had to be modified to be a functioning fire department. The arches are going to be restored. I think if Irving J. Gill were alive today, he would be thrilled to see the space returned to its original design. It’s a win for the city, the museum, and the historical society— another jewel in the setting of the crown of downtown Oceanside,” Hawthorne said.
Wanda Wease, Director of Communications, Marketing and Community Engagement at Oceanside Museum of Art, elaborated, "Another special element of Oceanside Museum of Art's growth is the fact that we will become stewards of not just one but two important local architectural legacies that serve as iconic Oceanside landmarks − the original city hall building that's currently part of our campus, and now historic Fire Station 1, both designed by famed architect Irving J. Gill. So the points of pride that we all have for our gorgeous City of Oceanside are not just maintained but grow as OMA grows. How beautiful that is! We can't wait to connect and celebrate with our community through all phases of this project."
The ten million dollar capital campaign launched in 2024 and is currently fundraised at 9.35 million dollars. The funding received to date is from diversified donors with overwhelming support, excited to have OMA as a point of pride in Oceanside.
"The tremendous support we've seen from the entire community for the Museum's expansion goes to show how deeply invested we all are in the arts. Investment in this expansion effort is a direct investment in this community, strengthening our city's cultural landscape, supporting local economic growth, and reinforcing Oceanside Museum of Art as a vibrant arts and culture hub for generations to come," Mingalone lauded.

understanding of the Southern California indoor/ outdoor lifestyle and OMA’s identity.
For example, their design includes the “In Between Gallery” as the space that will connect the Central Pavilion and Fire Station 1. SRA utilizes lots of windows and glass that let in natural light. Upon completion, OMA will be thirty thousand square feet total across the three buildings. OMA is open to the public Wednesday through Sunday. Membership is encouraged and provides discounts for events like their Illuminate Gala on July 18, and includes admission.
On the first Friday of each month, OMA has extended hours from 11am to 8pm with free admission from 5 to 8pm. The first Sunday of each month is also free admission. The Museum Store features work by local artists and is open to the public for unique gifts with no admission fee required.
OMA is a beautiful space that exemplifies the best of Oceanside. The expansion to Fire Station 1 will make it even more amazing and authentically Oceanside!

Artist Alley in downtown Oceanside is a collection of eclectic small businesses owned by creative entrepreneurs. It’s also a community space for art and those that love art.
To find it, follow the vibrant murals between Mission Avenue and Pier View Way right before Coast Highway 101. They will lead you to Oceanside's own art hub.
And ‘hub’ is the perfect description because it is “a central point of connection, activity, or importance from which things radiate or where they are gathered.” The leaders of Creative Collective noticed that inclusion radiated from the space, and both Dee G. and Amber I., the founders of Creative Collective, immediately felt a sense of belonging when they discovered Artist Alley.
Together, Amber and Dee knew they wanted to share the magic of Artist Alley with their mission when they formed Creative Collective. Their mission “is to bring together art, music, and creativity in all its forms. We cultivate a welcoming space where diverse artists can express themselves freely, connect with others and share their work within a supportive community.”
Both Dee and Amber are skilled artists. Dee is a musician with a small business making jewelry and spiritual merchandise. She found Oceanside during the COVID-19 pandemic when she left Colorado traveling as a nomad.
When she arrived in Oceanside, there was an immediate sense of belonging. Her co-founder, Amber, has lived in Oceanside since the age of sixteen. She is a spray paint artist, works with acrylic painting, black ink drawings, and mixed media. Together, they are well-versed in the arts. Both artists credit Sato of Ikigai Artifacts for his hospitality and shared art community when they discovered Artist Alley.
In 2024, Creative Collective held their first event during Christmas to bring attention to the space and the small businesses in Artist Alley.
Dee warmly described Artist Alley, "It's a

hidden gem,” she said. “We didn’t have a space that felt like our own, so when we found Artist Alley it was the perfect place to connect. We want people to know that our space is for everyone. It’s a place where all types of artists can be seen, people can make genuine connections, and the community can thrive together being their authentic selves. If someone leaves feeling welcomed, inspired, or a little more connected than when they arrived, then we’ve done what we set out to do.”
Elise, the owner of Mystic Soul in Artist Alley has nothing but praise. “When I first opened Mystic Soul in Artist Alley, I fell in love with the creativity and art events that surrounded it. Creative Collective has helped keep that spirit alive by giving artists a place to create, experiment, and share their work with the community. Every new mural brings fresh energy, and it’s awesome watching people wander through the alley, taking photos, admiring the artwork, and discovering the incredible talent our community has to offer.”
Dee and Amber’s work has been noticed by the city. They applied for a grant through the Oceanside Cultural Arts District, and their efforts were validated by receiving the grant.
Ana Marina Hernandez is the Professional Assistant for the Oceanside Cultural Arts District.
She explained, “Creative Collective is a recipient of the Oceanside Arts & Culture grant, funded by the Oceanside Cultural Arts District and the City of Oceanside Arts Commission. Their passion and clear vision for supporting Oceanside’s creative community set them apart from many other applicants. Amber and Dee are great collaborators and show real dedication to their work. Thanks to their dedication, Artist Alley has grown into a thriving space in our city, one that uplifts artists and welcomes all who visit.”
Artist Alley small businesses are open for normal business hours, and pop-up events are commonplace. It’s a great stop for unique gifts!
On August 1 from 12pm-5pm, Creative Collective will host their monthly gathering with a “Back To School” Supplies Drive in Artist Alley in collaboration with Mystic Soul Ritual Shop and supported by Oceanside Cultural District. There will be vendors, music, live art, craft table, and face painting but participants are also asked to bring school items for local children’s backpacks. The August 1 event combines creativity, community resources, and giving back through Creative Collective’s Back-toSchool Supply Drive that supports local youth.

MVP Mobile Detailing
WORDS: JAMEY STONE
PHOTOS: ZACH CORDNER
I was raised to believe that hard work should always be rewarded and, in the case of JR Espinoza, that’s exactly why we chose to do this feature. I have been watching his work for months right behind our warehouse. The guys next door at Top Notch barbershop always park in the back and have been using MVP Mobile Detailing to have their cars detailed for the last year.
The thing is, every time I am loading up for magazine deliveries, I see JR hard at work making these rides clean and sharp as a tack. He always takes the extra time to get everything dialed in and perfect. He brings everything needed right to your doorstep. From the water to the wax, he delivers each and every time.
The attention to detail is crazy. He takes his time on the interior to make sure your vehicle is clean and smells great. On the outside, the polish is perfect.
JR started MVP just three years ago after helping out a friend and detailer with his business. It’s a perfect fit because he is raising his son Elrey and the job allows him to be there for pickups and
drop offs. The base rate for an inside-out detail is $100. Not too shabby considering that he comes straight to you and doesn’t use any of your water or electricity.
From there you can upgrade to ceramic coatings, paint correction, carpet cleaning, and he even does window tinting to boot. Everything is certified and done at a professional level. His work schedule is Monday through Friday and services from Oceanside to downtown SD.
Junior loves serving the community and says that if you are from Oside, everywhere you go in the city, everyone is like family. So true. So if your car needs some love, show some to MVP and he will make your whip shine like never before. You can book directly through his DM or call the number listed because Oceanside takes care of our own.

Koakai Brewing Co.
WORDS: ERIC KLIER

The wait is over! The much-anticipated opening of Koakai Brewing Co. off Oceanside Blvd on Greenbrier has finally happened, and Oceanside is buzzing! The brewery has been a passion project for owners Mike and AJ Aubuchon, who have dedicated immense time, effort, and energy to bring it to life.
Attached to the Kyoto Japanese Market, the brewery is open Wednesday through Sunday for lunch and dinner. They serve a variety of delicious food, including fresh sushi and sashimi, chicken, and Mike’s barbecue specialties, cooked right in front of the restaurant. Two major standouts are the short ribs and the wagyu smashburger!
The brewery features a wide selection of beer brewed on-site by Master Brewer Mike and part-time brewer Russ Johnson. Their draft list is already considered some of the best beer in San Diego County right now, featuring standouts like their Takumi Japanese Lager and the Local Knowledge West Coast IPA. They also have a top-level selection of sake and many non-alcoholic options, offering something for everyone. The layout features a bar and outside patio seating with a relaxed, family- and dog-friendly atmosphere— making it a great place to sit and enjoy an afternoon.
Owner AJ shared, “We wanted to make a place that would bring families and the community
together to enjoy good food and drinks.” They definitely have succeeded. Since they already have plans to expand the restaurant into the space next door, there is even more to be excited about! This family-run business is a welcome addition to the thriving Oceanside food scene, and we are thrilled they have finally opened their doors!

Blade Shanghai
The team behind Blade 1936, the Italian spot on Seagaze and Coast Highway you know and love, have expanded next door. But, with an entirely new and refreshing concept.
From spaghetti to noodle, arancini to dim sum, bolognese to dan dan, the East meets the West at Blade Shanghai. Inspired by owner Donia Ackad’s Shanghai roots, this fast-casual and modern dining spot, just next door to Blade 1936, boasts all original recipes from Ackad herself.
With the help from Executive Chef Angelo Traversa the kitchen at Blade Shanghai pumps out delicious, home-made dishes spotlighting true Shanghai flavors with fresh and local ingredients. Everything here is made from scratch and nothing goes to waste.
The broth for the wonton soup, for example, is made using pig and chicken bones for a gelatin richness, then simmered with a flavorful prosciutto end from Blade 1936. The original recipe calls for Chinese ham, but Ackad adjusted her recipe for what they have on hand, and boy is it delicious.
The salmon in Blade Shanghai’s salmon salad is another perfect example. Blade 1936 receives two shipments of local, fresh (never frozen) fish per week, and Ackad felt inspired to use the leftover salmon belly. Served over a bed of quinoa and in three wonton cups, the salmon belly is cubed with avocado, mango salsa, strawberry slices, and a cucumber lavender ginger dressing. The result is light and refreshing, and the salmon just melts in your mouth perfectly.
The dim sum section of the menu is among my favorites. The wontons, potstickers, and buns are all made fresh daily. The Shanghai style fried
buns, filled with juicy minced pork, came perfectly crispy on the bottom, soft in the middle, and topped with sesame seeds, green onion, carrot, and cilantro. Don’t forget to try it with the homemade chilli paste!
Ackad doesn’t cut any corners in her restaurant. The noodles here are made from scratch per order. Yes, for every single order. There are no preservatives used here, thanks to a state-of-the-art machine in the kitchen that mixes flour and water on the spot, then delivers a fresh batch of noodles in seconds. An attuned business woman, Ackad brought a common technology in China to Oceanside to deliver fresh and affordable meals to our community.
And, affordable it is. Nothing on the menu at Blade Shanghai exceeds $17.99. That’s not something you see everyday. The food here is high quality and the delivery is fast, but seating is limited, so to-go orders are welcomed and encouraged.
Ackad herself is an inspiration. She immigrated to the US for college, became a stay at home mom, and once her kids were grown she had the itch to start her own career. She started at $12 an hour behind a desk, now works in real estate development, and owns the historic building where her two businesses operate.
“Financial independence is so important for women,” Ackad said. “I like to say I live the American dream.”
It was a pleasure to learn her story just as much as it was to try her recipes. Show Ackad some good ol’ Oside support and give Blade Shanghai a try. You will not be disappointed!

Kettle On Coast
Meet Kettle On Coast, a bright, new cafe led by Givino Rossini, a young, very smart entrepreneur who took a chance and is bringing something special to our town. Rossini opened his first coffee venture, Kettle on Grand, in Escondido in 2023 and hasn’t looked back since! He then fell into another great place and opened Kettle on Main located in Fallbrook in 2024. Again, not really looking to expand when he was approached by his coffee roasters who also worked with Christine Loyola from Petite Madeline and shared that she was looking to retire and this could be a great spot for another Kettle. Givino shared that at first he was reluctant but then looked at the numbers, met with Christine, and fell in love with the area, so both agreed to move forward with the sale. It was nice to hear that Christine, whom so many locals loved, was totally on board and chose Rossini to take over that special cafe corner. Paying homage to Petite’s past, Givino has kept the entire pastry team and some servers, so our beloved pastries are still thriving and, yes, they still take custom cake orders!
We were happy to sit down with both Rossini and Executive Chef David Lay to chat about how they are bringing unique flavors to breakfast and lunch. Chef Lay served us their special grilled yellowtail belly skewers. This light dish was perfectly grilled and a testament to the chef using every part of the fish—so delicious! Chef Lay shared
that they source almost all of their ingredients locally, including the line-caught yellowtail skewers and crudo served with a hibiscus ponzu, Sun Gold tomatoes, red onion, ninja radish, and black lime. Oh my gosh, this was so fresh and tasty, it melted in our mouths. When asked about their distinct menu, Rossini and Chef Lay mentioned their menu can be considered California fusion with influences from North Africa and the Mediterranean. The flavors are more refined, and the endive salad was shockingly good. Filled with red and yellow endive, feta cheese, dried cranberries, roasted pistachios, onion, and the tastiest black lime vinaigrette! This was flavorful, refreshing, and even kept its crispiness the next day!
We finished our amazing meal with the çılbır (Turkish eggs), and they were so scrumptious! For those who have never had Turkish eggs, Kettle's are perfectly poached and served over a bed of house-made yogurt (labneh) and drizzled with a berbere oil that was slightly spicy but very colorful. Essentially, you take their version of naan (think gluten-free flatbread) and dip it into the delicious concoction. It is fantastic! Important to note that all of their sauces are made in-house fresh and, yes, even the yogurt! I had the pleasure of also trying the horchata latte and their croissant pastries, both the savory one filled with spinach and cheese and their standard croissant. The coffee, which Givino wants everyone to know is still
their mainstay, was very good and served with beautiful latte art. The croissants are the same that you loved from Petite, so don't be shy—drop in and grab some goodies!
Overall, Kettle On Coast is surprisingly great! I wasn't sure what to expect and found myself taken on a tour of various distinct flavors, but all of it was good and all of it felt thoughtful, creative, and beautifully prepared. Well worth the price as the ingredients are so fresh and locally sourced. Be sure to swing by and say hi to Givino and the great local Kettle staff, who provided excellent service and welcomed everyone warmly. At Kettle On Coast, they believe in fostering a lively community space and are hosting Beats at the Beach, their monthly DJ event on the second Saturday of every month. They also want people to feel comfortable coming in and staying, so bring your laptop, stay awhile, sip some coffee, and enjoy some delicious food. We think you will love it and you can enjoy the updated interior and one of a kind menu seven days a week for breakfast and lunch service.
