Uptown News weekly update

Today’s newsletter is presented by addressSD.com.


Hello, Uptown!

Tessa Balc
Tessa Balc, Times of San Diego audience engagement producer

We’ve been on a roll lately with Uptown restaurant stories, thanks to reporter Frank Sabatini Jr. Last week, he profiled Nunu’s in Hillcrest, and this week he’s taking it next door to North Park and getting to know another rebranded restaurant from a chef who runs Michelin-starred restaurants.

On a different note: I’m coming to you all with a request this week. If you are able to, would you consider supporting Times of San Diego and Uptown News in our end-of-year fundraising campaign?

You may have noticed, things have changed around here recently. We’ve ramped up our local coverage and worked to go deeper on local issues that impact your community.

For one thing, I’m new to this newsletter. I was hired about a month ago to manage all of our newsletters and grow our social media presence. If you don’t follow Times of San Diego, we’re currently on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Nextdoor and LinkedIn.

If, on Friday, you go to pick up a free copy of the Uptown News, you might notice it looks a bit different. We redesigned our community papers to provide an updated, modern design. 

With even more in the works that you’ll find out about soon, we need your help to keep this momentum going. Like I said, if you are able to support local news, please consider doing so.

We wouldn’t be here without you all, and we realize that. Thank you to those who have supported us through and through. Whether it be by making a donation, taking the time to read our articles, getting our newsletters in your inbox or liking a post of ours on social media — we appreciate you.
