Panda diplomacy between the United States and China is revived as two giant pandas begin their journey to San Diego. Plus, the public will soon be invited to comment on a proposed 1,000 bed homeless shelter near Little Italy. And, the challenge of providing recuperative care for those experiencing homelessness after a hospital stay.
After several years, the San Diego Zoo will once again be home to giant pandas from China. More on that next. But first... let’s do the headlines….
A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought by a local pastor who claims he was removed from a city of San Diego board due to his views on those who are transgender.Hodges claimed in the lawsuit that Mayor Todd Gloria retaliated against him by vetoing his reappointment to the board. The San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance says the pair will spend several weeks acclimating to their new home before the zoo announces an opening date.
The zoo describes Xin Bao as a quote “gentle and witty introvert with a sweet round face and big ears.”San Diego mayor Todd Gloria's proposal for a 1,000 bed homeless shelter will soon be getting its first public hearing.Several months ago, Gloria's office was approached by a real estate investor who had purchased a 65,000 square foot warehouse just east of the airport.Gloria negotiated a deal and presented it to the City Council in closed session.
Serbay found shelter at Father Joe’s Village in Downtown San Diego. It was at their health center he had a pain in his leg checked for the first time and discovered he had a tumor.After surgery he needed additional care.
