Around Town ...

It's beginning to look a lot like ... election season. Capistrano's ordinance allowed campaign signs to go up Saturday, so you'll start see them throughout town.

That's better than the other flood of signs around town: Going out of Business.

Blendz, the sandwich shop in the Vaquero West building downtown, is already shuttered -- just seven months after it opened. And resident David Ludwig left me a voicemail noting "You know things are bad when even the Dollar Store is going out of business."

The Dollar Store is located in the plaza with Ross -- it's closing this month.
