2022-10-17 | Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Fall Community Clean Up Event
Traditional Curbside Collection on Regularly Scheduled Residential Service Day: October 17 – 21, 2022
EDCO’s Coronado Community Cleanup Event gives residents an opportunity to place unwanted bulk items curbside that are too large or heavy to put inside collection carts, such as broken appliances, water heaters, furniture, old mattresses (please wrap mattresses prior to setting out – special mattress disposal bags can be purchased at hardware stores or on their websites), and other miscellaneous bulky household clutter.
All yard waste will be recycled and must be bagged or bundled. Tree trimmings should be cut into 3’ lengths and tied securely into bundles not greater than 18” in diameter. Debris from contractors, landscapers or commercial businesses will NOT be accepted. No Hazardous Waste Accepted.
This year’s cleanup will take place the week of October 17th – 21st on your regularly scheduled residential curbside collection day (please put items out on the curb with your regular collection carts by 6 am).
FREE MULCH! Once again EDCO will have mulch available for self-load/self-haul on the corner of A Avenue and 2nd Street, by the Little League field, for Coronado residents only. Come early and bring a shovel to get your compost while it lasts! If you plan to haul your compost in an open truck or trailer, please remember to bring a tarp to cover your material.

"The Knot" Dedication
2022-10-19 16:00 - 16:30 | Glorietta Bay Park, 1975 Strand Way, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
A ceremony is set for 4 pm on Wednesday, Oct. 19, to dedicate a sculpture — “The Knot” — recently installed at Promenade Park overlooking Glorietta Bay between City Hall and the Community Center. The community is invited to join the family of the artist and other arts enthusiasts for this free event. Light refreshments will be served after the program.
A plaque commemorating the piece will be unveiled at the site. The City Council accepted the gift, which was donated by The Wood Family Trust, in late 2021 based on a recommendation by the Cultural Arts Commission. The Knot was designed and built by the late artist Jim Wood, a former Coronado resident and lieutenant commander in the Navy’s Civil Engineer Corps.
The location was selected because Wood was stationed at nearby Naval Amphibious Base Coronado, where he realized his passion for welding pieces of steel and bronze. The Promenade Park location also is a popular site for couples who tie the knot in the nearby grassy area. The City hopes the sculpture becomes a symbolic backdrop for wedding photos.
“The Knot” is the newest addition to the more than 75 public art pieces in the City’s collection placed throughout Coronado. For more information, download the Coronado Public Art App on your smartphone or visit CoronadoARTS.com.

FILM FORUM CORONADO: "Loves of a Blonde"
2022-10-19 18:00 - 20:30 | Winn Room, Coronado Public Library, 640 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Coronado Public Library, in partnership with the Coronado Island Film Festival, presents FILM FORUM CORONADO, taking place the first and third Wednesday of each month at 6pm in the library’s Winn Room. Film expert Ralph DeLauro provides a brief introduction to each film and leads a discussion afterwards, often including pointers about how lighting or camera angles contribute to a scene’s mood or propel the story.
October 19: Loves of a Blonde (1966, 90 min, Czech with English subtitles)
A beguiling blend of humor and heartbreak, this fresh and funny satire of generational restlessness from Milos Forman was a high point of the Czech New Wave. A naïve girl from a provincial industrial town is seduced by a rakish piano player and journeys from the first pangs of love to eventual disappointment.

The Forgotten Search for a North Island Plane
2022-10-20 11:00 - 12:00 | Winn Room, Coronado Public Library, 640 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Local award-winning historian and preservationist Alexander D. Bevil will use historic photographs and maps to reveal a forgotten chapter in North Island’s early military history: the search for missing pilot 1st Lieutenant Charles L. Webber, and his passenger, Assistant Chief of Cavalry Lt. Colonel Frances C. Marshall. The search, which lasted from December 7, 1922 to February 1923, was the largest and longest combined air and ground search in American military history during peacetime. The presentation will also focus on the leadership role Rockwell Field’s pilots and observers played flying outdated aircraft over forbidding mountain and desert terrain from San Diego to Tucson. It will also discuss the role these men played in recovering Webber and Marshall’s remains, and the erection of the first of two monuments in their memory at the crash site. Two of these, base commander Major Henry “Hap” Arnold, and Texas-based pilot Major Theodore C. Macaulay, would later play key command roles during World War II. After the war, Major Macaulay would serve as an active and well-respected member of the Coronado Civic Club and a local bank branch manager.
A graduate of San Diego State University with a Bachelor’s degree in History, Alexander D. Bevil is an award-winning local historian. Before, during, and after his 20-year tenure as a California State Parks historian, he worked diligently trying to save historic resources both in and outside the California State Parks system. Based in San Diego, he has evaluated numerous historic resources in California State Parks throughout southern and central California ranging from stone-built mountain cabins to “lost” towns. His favorite projects, however, involved investigating historic military resources, especially “lost” aircraft crash sites.

Walking Tour of Historic Coronado
2022-04-07 13:00 - 14:30 | Coronado Historical Association, 1100 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
One of the best ways to experience the history of Coronado is to go on a historic walking tour. This is the secret that Coronado locals know: it takes time to sense the past. When you slow down, you have a chance to see, hear, and remember this place that Hollywood stars, princes, and presidents have enjoyed. Everywhere you look in this charming beach town, you find history. And, that history is easiest to see on foot – when you have a chance to linger in front of a tiny, shingled house, perhaps, and meet the resident as he comes out into the yard to water his roses and tells you about the multiple generations who have lived in the home. Or, when you seemingly stumble upon the magical house from which the Wizard of Oz was born.
We’re proud to host you on Coronado’s premier walking tour. Every tour purchase supports the Coronado Historical Association and its mission. Thank you for your support.

Household Hazardous Waste Collection
2022-05-28 09:00 - 14:00 | Public Services Facility, 101 B Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection is held the second and fourth Saturday of each month, from 9 am to 2 pm at the Public Services Facility, located at 101 B Avenue, and is available to Coronado residents only. No business or contractor-generated waste is permitted.
Household products containing toxic chemicals become hazardous waste when you decide to dispose of them. Never throw hazardous products in the trash, as the toxic chemicals may harm the environment and sanitation workers, and start fires in trash trucks. Never pour hazardous products into a sink or storm drain. It is dangerous and they will end up in our environment polluting the air, water and soil. The City of Coronado’s HHW program is available so that all residents in the community can safely dispose of their toxic, hazardous waste.
