Action at perennial blighted lot

934 N Coast Hwy 101 ugly fenced off lot getting dug out. Future home of a groovy wine bar.
The free market investment into Leucadia's coast highway continues...

All with a shitty freeway in front of it. Slow speeds to 25 or 30 mph and see the true glory of Leucadia. Build the streetscape.

No doubt, get the streetscape moving! A winery with a bocce ball court I hear; should be good...

Instead of getting pissed about the streetscape, let's celebrate this improvement! That area has looked like shit for at least 10 years. I am excited for a wine bar in the neighborhood & plan to be a regular there -- hope to run into all of you there sometime. Cheers!

About Leucadia

Leucadia is a funky little beach community located in North San Diego county in southern California. Leucadia is the north section of the city of Encinitas.

English spiritualists settled the small coastal community of Leucadia in 1870, and are reputed to have danced, in diaphanous white robes in the little Roadside Park (Leucadia Blvd and Hwy 101).

The spiritualists are the reason so many of the streets are named after Greek gods and goddesses. Leucadia is Greek for "a sheltered place." Heritage Eucalyptus trees, planted in the 1880s, still grace the highway. When President Roosevelt passed through Leucadia in an open car during the Depression, local children climbed the Eucalyptus trees to wave to him.

Change happens slowly in this nostalgic little California beach town. In lieu of fast food restaurants and franchise chain stores, Leucadia has two miles of Mom 'n Pop businesses, and that's the way everyone likes it. The town war cry is "Keep Leucadia Funky."

Leucadia played an active role in the rebirth of the classic Highway 101 shield, restored in 1997, and was part of the successful 101 Campaign to have Highway 101 declared an historic route.

Leucadia is experiencing growing pains and culture clash in these first decades of the 21st century...
