I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

From http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2015/mar/25/ballpark-apartment-highrise-to-start-construction/ More than 700 apartment units are planned By Lori Weisberg | 6:17 p.m. March 25, 2015 Starting next month, construction will get under way on one of downtown San Diego's largest housing developments, following the approval Wednesday by Civic San Diego of the $250 million project. Located east of the ballpark along Park Boulevard and Imperial Avenue on what is now a surface parking lot, the planned 37-story apartment tower and surrounding low-rise buildings are part of Ballpark Village, originally conceived several years ago by JMI Realty, the developer of Petco Park. JMI, which is partnering with Lennar Homes, is former Padres owner John Moores' development company that master-planned the district around the ballpark, which opened in April 2004. ... The 3.5-acre housing site -- the equivalent of three city blocks -- is one of the company's last remaining pieces of ballpark-related property. The Ballpark Village development is seen as another key catalyst for the continued revitalization of East Village. ... In all, the project's 720 units will be spread across the 400-foot tower and three six-story buildings. Ground floor retail totaling more than 55,000 square feet is also planned, as well as a 1,214-space parking garage. Upper floors of the apartment tower will offer views out to the bay and city skyline, as well as partial views into Petco Park. And a pedestrian plaza, with cafe-style seating and public art, could eventually be home to farmers markets, car shows, bands and other special events, Chatfield said. The first apartments would be ready to occupy by the third quarter of 2017, with completion of the project targeted for the second quarter of 2018, Chatfield said. He estimates that it will generate as many as 1,000 jobs during the construction period. Although some thought had been given to including condos in the development, JMI and Greystar ultimately opted to make it an all-rental complex, consisting of mostly studio, 1- and 2-bedroom apartments, plus nine 3-bedroom units and four live-work units. The apartments will range in size from 560 square feet to 1,400 square feet, said Bob LaFever, a managing director with Greystar. Within the complex, there will also be 27 affordable units. "Rental is primarily what our company does, and this makes for a great for-rent asset," LaFever said. "And there is strong rental demand." All of Ballpark Village encompasses about seven acres, but the remaining acreage is undeveloped. Chatfield said JMI is working on plans for a 1,600-room hotel there but it would likely require an expanded convention center to move forward, he said.
Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
