La Mesa Advise Givers
An Interview with Simona Valanciute
Maggie Clemens, Host of the La Mesa Advice Givers Podcast, a business owner herself, had an interest in meeting other smart, savvy and local business owners. Entrepreneurs and community leaders. She started to reach out to these people, started having great conversations and quickly realized that others needed to hear their stories too. These were experts in their respective fields. Passionate and intelligent. Dedicated to making impact in the lives of their clients, customers, patients and patrons. So she asked, “Why not create a podcast and interview these people? Why not build a platform meant to turn a spotlight onto these local stories?” With that, the concept for La Mesa Advice Givers was born. For more, visit: www.LaMesaAdviceGivers.com.

An Oasis at Grossmont Mall
By Sara Appel-Lennon, La Mesa Courier
January 27, 2017 – For 35 years, San Diego Oasis operated on Macy’s third floor in the Westfield shopping mall in Mission Valley at 1702 Camino Del Rio North.
However, because the Mission Valley Macy’s is being shuttered as part of a 68-store downsizing, Oasis Learning Center is relocating to a new home in La Mesa’s Grossmont Shopping Center at 5500 Grossmont Center.
The new location will consist of two centers — a Wellness Center and a Lifelong Learning Center. The Wellness Center, which opened on Jan. 9, is located opposite of Restoration Hardware Outlet (formerly Sports Authority) at 5500 Grossmont Center Drive, Suite 228 in La Mesa. The Wellness Center hosts exercise, dance and mind-body classes there.
