Good morning, Oceanside.

Today, Oceanside celebrated the Ace Hardware ribbon cutting (10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.), while upcoming events include a breakfast on March 17 at Wagner Aquatic Center, a networking event on March 19 at Hacienda Mission San Luis Rey, and the 7th Leadership Academy cohort starting April 25.

Warm temperatures are causing grasshopper eggs to hatch early across San Diego, explained Rocco Moschette from Armstrong Garden Centers (an entomology expert).

Local gardeners should monitor green spaces as early hatching may signal a cyclical population spike every 8 to 10 years.

City leaders approved a $3 million purchase of the building at 615 Mission Avenue to host library programs, including the Friends bookstore and the READS Learning Center.

Escrow will open soon, and improvements (including an elevator and wall) are planned for the space.
