🌱 Outdoor Dining? + Helping Students In Need + Father's Day Specials

Hello again, friends! I'm back with your fresh edition of the San Diego Daily. Here are all the most important things to know about what's happening locally.

First, today's weather:

Breezy in the morning. High: 73, Low: 63.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in San Diego who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our San Diego Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are three of the top stories in San Diego today:

1. Will there be outdoor dining at restaurants this summer? To date, only 19 restaurants have applied for the necessary permits for outdoor dining. The cost of the permits ranges from $10 - $30 per square foot, plus inspection fees. If restaurant owners do not apply for 'Spaces as Places' permits, they will need to get permits to tear down their outdoor dining areas. To learn more: Click into parenthesis, then click the link.
