Over 30 years ago, D.R. Horton came into existence with a simple vision for the future of homebuilding; a vision of affordable, livable new homes designed with innovation, superior craftsmanship, and sensitivity to the needs of homebuyers. Seacliff is a premier example of that aspiration ripening to utter perfection in the form of a spectacular Oceanside waterfront community. With Seacliff, D.R. Horton invites homeowners to walk on this side of paradise and indulge in relaxed living, where delicate sea breezes welcome in mornings and the rhythmic break of waves usher in nights. The breathtaking natural setting beckons residents outdoors for biking, hiking, or strolling along the shoreline, while the exquisite interiors are equally inviting for a simple day lazing at home.    

Both ocean and courtyard-view residences are available, offering up to 1,519 square feet of lavish space with two and three bedrooms and two baths. Just outside, a cascading waterfall, glistening pool, and other resort-style amenities set the scene for an onsite lifestyle that offers both sheer relaxation and optimal fun. When it comes to the finest in coastal living, America’s #1 Homebuilder has created an Oceanside community that’s beyond comparison. This is paradise. This is home. This is Seacliff.

Many trace discount retailing´s birth to 1962, the first year of operation for Kmart, Target and Wal-Mart. But by that time, Sam Walton´s tiny chain of variety stores in Arkansas and Kansas was already facing competition from regional discount chains. Sam traveled the country to study this radical, new retailing concept and was convinced it was the wave of the future. He and his wife, Helen, put up 95 percent of the money for the first Wal-Mart store in Rogers, Arkansas, borrowing heavily on Sam´s vision that the American consumer was shifting to a different type of general store.

Today, Sam´s gamble is a global company with more than 1.8 million associates worldwide and nearly 6,500 stores and wholesale clubs across 15 countries.

A Recipe for Success: Vigilucci’s Osteria Celebrates One Year in Oceanside
Combine authentic Northern Italian cuisine, good wine, tantalizing conversation and a group of your closest friends. Mix thoroughly and let sit for a few hours.

The above describes the Vigilucci’s Osteria dining experience.  Located in downtown Oceanside on Mission Avenue, the newest restaurant by restaurateur Roberto Vigilucci is a “gathering place” where “to-do” lists lose their meaning and diners frequently get lost in the laughter and conversation of good friends and family.

As Vigilucci’s Osteria celebrates its one year anniversary in Oceanside, residents are encouraged to experience the unique blend of casual dining with an upscale flair.  Serving a comprehensive Milanese and Tuscan-influenced menu and moderately priced Italian wines, the Osteria’s menu dishes up steak, seafood, pasta and panini.  Open seven days a week for lunch and dinner, some of the mouthwatering highlights from the menu include:

·   Pappardelle con Funghi Porcini e Capesante - Wide ribbon pasta with porcini, shiitake, portobello, field mushrooms and pan-seared scallops in a white truffle and brandy cream sauce. 
·   Salmone alla Griglia - Grilled Atlantic Salmon served with a potato cake and sauteed spinach, with a rock shrimp and cognac cream sauce. 

Vigilucci’s Osteria also offers full-scale on site and off site customized catering for weddings, meetings or any type of occasion. Vigilucci’s Osteria is located at 608 Mission Ave., Oceanside, 760.966.1203. For more information about the Osteria or Vigilucci’s five other unique North County restaurants, please visit www.vigiluccis.com.
