San Diego Alert: Barack Obama and 'The Real World'

Traffic Alert: President Obama will visit San Diego as part of his swing through Southern California. In fact, he'll be having lunch in La Jolla on September 26. That'sbound to cause a few delays - maybe even a road closure or two. If you'll be in town that day, you might want to avoid Mt. Soledad.

This peak provides a great panorama, but on that day, the cars carrying those guys who wear dark glasses and talk into their lapels might clog up the access.

The event - no, I wasn't invited either - is at the home of Elizabeth and Mason Phelps in the Muirlands area of La Jolla. The President will be the guest of honor at a noon lunch limited to 160.

What else is happening that week? September 28 is the start of Season 26 of MTV's The Real World. If you've been paying attention, you know that Season 26 was filmed in San Diego, and the cast lived in a house in the Bird Rock area of La Jolla.I bet that all those folks who belly-ached about having the show taped in their family neighborhood will be glued to their TVs.
