Yikes! What happened here? Looks like a vintage San Diego police car has smashed into a bunch of pumpkins!
Not surprisingly, the incident took place in the courtyard of the old historical police headquarters in downtown San Diego.
Looks like The Headquarters at Seaport Village is getting ready for autumn and Halloween with this and other fun displays!

This morning I’m going through unused photographs that I’ve stored on my computer. Some of the images are years old, others are more recent.
I thought you might enjoy seeing these. They’re from all around San Diego.
The photos I’ve selected are unusual or eye-catching for a variety of reasons. A few are rather amusing!
Can you identify where some of these photographs were taken?
Here they are…

Spaceballs troops have arrived in San Diego, combing the Gaslamp Quarter during Comic-Con 2026, searching for… fans.
What was the proposed title of Spaceballs 2? The Search for More Money? I see they’re trying hard.
The Schwartz must be with Mel Brooks, Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman, and Daphne Zuniga, who will return in the Spaceballs sequel next year.
Yes, Dark Helmet will return! Will he arrive with a bigger, more menacing vacuum cleaner?

Attending Comic-Con 2026 in San Diego? Got some extra time? You might want to head up to Balboa Park, where the Comic-Con Museum now features a number of cool exhibits, including a big one all about Doctor Who.
The Comic-Con Museum’s newest exhibit showcases the art of Charles Addams, who is best known for his popular creation The Addams Family. It’s titled Chas Addams: Family and Friends.
You’ll see a huge selection of his artwork. His wry, dark, humorous images might bring back memories of the Addams Family television show or the movie.
A variety of other subjects in his art might give you a chuckle, too!

More San Diego trolley wraps keep showing up for Comic-Con 2026! I spotted one today that promotes Family Guy and American Dad on Disney/Hulu!
I’m not sure whether other shows are featured on the wrap’s opposite side. If I spot anything, I’ll post an update!

Just a fun post.
I thought I’d activate Galaxy AI Drawing Assist on my Samsung smartphone and have it create crazy images of San Diego!
Using the text “bizarre San Diego weirdly” and the pop art setting generated some wild results!
Lots of big surfboards, waves, tacos, hot air balloons, lighthouses, and strange structures, some of which kind of look like San Diego buildings!
The City of San Diego’s annual Agewell Craft Sale was held this weekend in Balboa Park. Local artists came together at the Casa del Prado to sell unique crafts they’d made by hand.
I noticed a good crowd of people perusing the crafts today with only an hour to go in the sale. I enjoyed looking at the amazing crafts–every sort, including very original creations–which filled artist tables inside and outside the Casa del Prado. I saw lots of potential holiday gifts.
In addition, kids were making art in an activity corner and filling a North Pole postal box, there was a raffle, and entertainment by The Ukes of Hazard musical ukulele group was making everyone smile.
Okay, I especially liked some super funny crafts made by artist Leslie Wagoner. You can see a couple of her hilarious creations in my first two photographs, above and below.
Creativity and fun everywhere you turn…
Adult visitors were invited to create art, too!
Lastly, one kindly artist was selling beautiful crafts in order to raise funds in support of Nazareth Orphanage in Tecate, Mexico. The orphanage is home to young boys and girls whose parents are unable to care for them.
For over twenty years, Father Brian Kelly, a Navy Chaplain stationed at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, has led volunteer efforts in support of Nazareth Orphanage.

An unusual mailbox is located high above the sidewalk in Pacific Beach. You might see it while cruising down Ingraham Street.
What’s that? I wondered during my walk today. Is that actually a mailbox? Only a mail delivery giant could possibly reach it!
Then I zoomed my camera in for a closer photograph…
Oh, I see! The funny mailbox is for Air Mail! Makes perfect sense!
Hopefully the mail delivery aircraft doesn’t stall!

A group of San Diego Ghostbusters entered downtown’s historic Balboa Theatre this afternoon in order to capture a Class 5 Full Roaming Vapor.
Fortunately, the ghost-catching mission ended in a success. After trapping the rambunctious spirit, the ghostbusting experts departed from the Balboa Theatre’s stage so a gathered audience could watch a classic movie: the original Ghostbusters!
Those in attendance, before entering the theatre, had the opportunity to meet some of the San Diego Ghostbusters, who arrived in Ecto-1 and Ecto-RR1 ready for action with their proton packs.
Yes, this unique event was a lot of fun! The showing of 1980s comedy Ghostbusters was part of the Balboa Theatre’s Retro Rewind programming.
The Real San Diego Ghostbusters group takes part in parades, festivals and other special events around San Diego. Perhaps you’ve seen them. Visit their website here.
With their appearance, these friendly Ghostbusters were raising money for the Starlight Children’s Foundation. If you’d like to help out the charitable organization via Ghostbusters Give Back, click here!

Comic-Con 2025 is about ready to begin in earnest! Fans are streaming into downtown San Diego for Preview Night!
My walk around the San Diego Convention Center and through the Gaslamp Quarter in the mid-afternoon kept my camera very busy.
Enjoy another collection of photos!
