FIRST LOOK
The Cabrillo Pavilion hasn’t looked this good in many decades: “It’s the only public building like it on the beach, and you could never built it today,” said Parks Department director Jill Zachary on an exclusive tour of the thoroughly renovated East Beach landmark.

HOT PROPERTY
If you want proof that the market is moving, look no further than these 12 notable closings from the past week, from Campanil to Torito Road.

WEATHER FORECAST
“Today, a cool-down begins, with a little more fog along the coast and coastal temps in the mid 70s,” says Jack Martin of Action Roofing. “Tomorrow, we’ll have a repeat of today—cooler with fog breaking late morning or early afternoon. Thursday, the low moves out and a warm-up begins. Friday, we’re looking for a warm-up though the weekend.” Email [email protected] to receive daily updates.
