• San Diego State University Aztecs, SDSU campus (located on College Avenue just off of I-8), goaztecs.cstv.com. College basketball enthusiasts will recognize a familiar face coaching this team, National Champion Steve Fisher. They play their home games at the Cox Arena in the SDSU campus. The Aztecs college baseball team plays at Tony Gwynn Stadium (also on the SDSU campus) and the college football team plays at Qualcomm Stadium in Mission Valley.

• The Adams Avenue Street Fair, Adams Ave. between 32nd and 35th Streets, +1 619 282-7329 (adamsavenue@sbcglobal.net), www.adamsaveonline.com/StreetFair/default.htm, Held over the last weekend in late September, showcases local business and organizations, various food and tchotchke vendors, and six stages of live music across the three blocks of this main drag in Normal Heights. Entrance is free, but the food and beer gardens can be a bit pricey.

Kensington is a small community with much charm. Instead of going here for excitement, you should go to Kensington to relax. Take some time to walk around the neighborhood and see all of the old houses and their well kept gardens. Get a cup of coffee at Kensington Coffee and then enjoy it at the park that surrounds the local library. Around dinner take the time to eat at the local restaurants and then either have a few drinks at the Club Kensington or see an indie or foreign film at the theater or rent one from Kensington Video.
