Why is the empty lot south of 934 such a filthy dump?? Who owns this property?? Who is going to clean it up and when?? How are Leucadia Longwing Butterflies are prosper in such conditions??
Which came first. Leucadia or the Leucadia longwing butterfly? Muy cool looking insect though. Don't recall ever seeing or even hearing about one. But when I was a kid, there was a huge row of cypress next to the Las Vegas Motel (now the Leucadia Beach Inn) and between the trees and the Play Room bar (now the Antique Clock Shop) Monarch butterflies evolved from big black catterpillars. Unfortunatley, the impatient neighborhood kids thought tearing apart cocoons to see what was inside was neato. I miss those, and aligator lizards, horney toads, glass snakes and the doodle bugs that thrived where Sea Bluff is now. On the other hand, I don't miss the scorpions I discovered while playing in vacant lots. I think I single handedly abolished them from Leucadia. Teachers weren't too stoked when I brought them in for show and tell in a big glass jar.
And I don't know who owns the vacant lot next to Karina's. Probably worth a million dollars and there it sits with a cyclone fence. One used to be able to go to city hall with any address to find out who owns any parcel in the city. But the last time I tried to do that, they told me to go to San Marcos. That's progress.
I'm so glad to see the return of the longwing butterfly. The interesting thing about them is that they have a voracious appetite for eucalyptus and torrypine trees.
