A notice inviting housing developers and other interested parties to submit ideas for transforming the high-profile block will likely be issued the first week of May, said San Diego Economic Development Director Christina Bibler. The council action marks a major turning point for a site that was long touted for bringing to San Diego its first Ritz-Carlton hotel. “That would have been a great hotel to have downtown in what is a premier location,” McGrory said.

Then they got their 10 per cent.”He said a small group of trusted criminals could have been pulled together to pull off the airport heist.
