This fourth and final installment of the “Dining Out” series looks at changes in La Jolla's restaurant scene from 2000 on and what local restaurateurs think might be next.

The 21st century brought several changes, including COVID-19 and an effort to see who could be the most unique. Technology, trends and dining habits likely will continue the evolution.

In a new attempt to take action at the long-neglected properties housing the vacant 132-year-old Red Roost and Red Rest cottages in La Jolla, a plan submitted to the city of San Diego calls for reroofing Red Roost and demolishing the fire-damaged Red Rest. But opponents have other ideas.

The application does not include plans to rebuild Red Rest, which historic preservationists call ‘unconscionable’

University of California Health is denying reports that human bodies donated for research and education at UC San Diego in La Jolla were sold to the Navy and the Israel Defense Forces for military medical training. Such is a concern of La Jolla resident Kaia Gantzel, whose mother's body was donated to UCSD after her death.

A spokeswoman for UC Health denies claims in news reports that many bodies were used for that, which the local resident says ‘feels like the opposite of medicine’

A few weeks after a La Jolla treehouse of then-unknown origins was torn down, one of the youths behind its construction is speaking out about the experience.

Members of the Association for the City of La Jolla, who have been working for nearly five years to have La Jolla detach from San Diego and become its own city, learned this week who will be leading the required comprehensive fiscal analysis on the proposed city’s feasibility and received an updated timeline for when the report may be completed. And they were handed a penalty for filing late monthly campaign statements.

London Moeder Advisors will conduct a comprehensive financial report. Meanwhile, the Association for the City of La Jolla has been fined $2,500 for what it calls a ‘technical error’ in monthly campaign reporting.

A pair of Bird Rock Community Council projects that have long been in the works are remaining so, though there are positive recent developments for one of them — a plan to install two Bird Rock monument signs on La Jolla Boulevard. The other, to put lighting at dozens of trees along that street, has “less legs.”

Completion of the two long-sought projects is not imminent, though the design of the monument signs has been approved by San Diego city groups
