‘Doggy Pit Stop’ appears on La Jolla Bike Path
A “Doggy Pit Stop” has appeared on the La Jolla Bike Path at the Rosemont Street entrance, a painted wooden structure offering water and treats to passing canines and waste bags to their owners.
The pit stop was erected Memorial Day weekend.
The La Jolla Light tracked down the pit stop’s creators, a small group of children ages 7-13 who live nearby but did not want to be identified or interviewed, other than to say they wanted to provide a place for new puppies in the neighborhood to stop and snack.
Friends of Coast Walk Trail does more repairs
As Friends of Coast Walk Trail continues to raise funds for a new fence along the scenic seaside trail, the board is implementing small projects to show proof of concept and what could be done with all the money it seeks.
The board is raising $50,000 to replace the fence next to Goldfish Point, which Friends President Brenda Fake said “has termite damage and is falling apart. It’s about as bad a disrepair as you can have and still call it safe.”
With $18,000 in hand, the board contracted Black Sage Environmental to repair a small part of the fence along Coast Boulevard. Staining was done by La Jolla Boy Scout Troop 4.
Next, Fake said, “we are repairing the fence area perpendicular to the new area completed on the upper trail and borders along Goldfish Point directly across from Goldfish Point Cafe. This work is expected to be completed by the end of June by Black Sage Environmental.”

Mandarin House reopens for takeout and delivery
The Mandarin House restaurant at 6765 La Jolla Blvd. reopened June 8 for takeout and delivery orders, offering its full menu “minus a couple of things,” owner Nelson Law said.
Mandarin House currently is only serving dinner, but Law said lunch and cocktails to go are coming soon.
The decades-old restaurant had been closed since August 2019 due to a fire. Reconstruction was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Law said.
“People were anticipating our return for much longer than expected,” he said. “It’s good to be back.”
Law said the restaurant is “still navigating a construction project to put in a window where our wall was damaged” and that a full reopening with onsite dining may happen in a matter of weeks.
