Ocean Beach will find itself in the cable TV spotlight next month. The pilot show of FX network’s comedic drama “Terriers,” filmed and set in Ocean Beach, will air at 10 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 8.
“We’ve heard some great things about the show, so we’re hoping it will be successful,” said Denny Knox, exective director of the Ocean Beach MainStreet Association. “It seems like it has gotten really good reviews and I’m hoping that translates out.”
In April, production crews took over Ocean Beach for a few weeks during the filming for “Terriers.” In online promotions for the show, various locations around Ocean Beach are featured and the storyline takes place in Ocean Beach.

New hotel, residential units to be scrutinized
Proposed changes to the NTC Precise Plan will be put under the microscope at the September Peninsula Community Planning Board (PCPB) meeting. At an Aug. 19 meeting, PCPB members voted to create an NTC Precise Plan subcommittee, which will discuss the proposed changes next month.
The meeting and formation of a new committee comes in response to a presentation by Corky McMillin Cos. at the July 15 PCPB meeting that includes turning two existing buildings within Liberty Station into a 350-room hotel and 30 residential units.
Two days before the August PCPB meeting, the board’s Community Plan Subcommittee held a special meeting to review proposed amendments to the NTC Precise Plan. Co-chairs and PCPB members Nancy Graham and Chris Veum hosted the well-attended public meeting and collected questions and concerns from locals in attendance.

 Chargers QB to host walk at NTC Park
Before Philip Rivers takes the field for the Chargers’ Sept. 13 opener at Kansas City, locals will get one more chance to follow in the footsteps of the Bolts’ franchise quarterback. The inaugural Philip Rivers Celebrity 5K Walk and Fun Run will be held Saturday, Sept. 4 at NTC Park in Liberty Station in Point Loma.
“It’s a great chance to see Philip Rivers up close and personal,” said Dave Miller, president of event promoters Integrated Sports Marketing.
Rivers will be in attendance and walk at the event, fresh off the Chargers’ final preseason game Sept. 2 at San Francisco. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Rivers of Hope Foundation, a nonprofit organization that Rivers and his wife, Tiffany, founded to find homes for unwanted, abandoned and orphaned children in San Diego County.

Amikas, a local nonprofit group, is proposing to purchase the 436,000-square-foot Midway Processing and Distribution Facility in Point Loma and turn it into a self-contained neighborhood for up to 2,000 locally homeless people. PHOTO BY PAUL HANSEN I THE BEACON
P0INT LOMA — While the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) examines potential buyers for its Midway Processing and Distribution Facility in Point Loma, a local nonprofit group known as Amikas sees a direction for the facility that could also help with local homelessness issues.
Amikas officials are submitting a proposal to turn the 436,000-square-foot building into a sustainable neighborhood for the homeless.
The proposal is only one being considered by the Postal Service, which is seeking to liquidate the property and downsize services and facilities in times of declining revenues.

Tennis legend Billie Jean King makes a point during the WTT Junior Nationals at Barnes Tennis Center last week. King is advocating the team aspect of tennis to a younger set of children to entice them into the sport and change the mindset for many youth that tennis is only an individual sport.

Barnes hosts WTT Junior Nationals, tennis legend
Ask almost anyone to choose whether tennis is a team or individual sport and the answer will almost unanimously be “individual.”
Which, according to tennis legend Billie Jean King, is part of the challenge in growing tennis and, particularly, getting young kids playing the sport.
“I saw a study recently where kids first identified with soccer at around age six, but for tennis it doesn’t happen until age 15,” said King, who was in San Diego last week for the 15th annual World Team Tennis (WTT) Junior Nationals held at the Barnes Tennis Center in Point Loma. “Why is there such a discrepancy?” King asked. “I believe it’s because tennis is not offered as a team sport at a young age.”
