On 8/2/2009 vicious dogs on the loose were reported in the 7600 block of North Avenue in Lemon Grove. Upon arrival at the scene, deputies were charged by two white pitbull/boxer mix dogs. Deputies closed off traffic in the area and contained the animals by blocking the dogs movements with their vehicles. The dogs lay down on the porch of a residence on North Avenue.
Deputies contacted Animal Control and also requested they contact the resident. Animal control responded to the scene and the residents remained in their house. When Animal Control arrived, they took the dogs into custody without incident.

Windmill Community trailer park opened in 1993. Now it sits with half vacant spaces and several abandoned trailers awaiting removal and grading for a new senior housing development.
The .79-acre corner lot at 3595 Olive Street sold for $2 million to Hitzke Development Corp. of Temecula. The seller of the property (assessor’s parcel 480-043-22) was COACH of San Diego Inc. (Corporation for Affordable Communities and Homes) of Irvine.
The property, a block from the Lemon Grove Trolley Station at the corner of Olive and North Avenue, is to be redeveloped as an 80-unit, mixed-use senior project by Hitzke Development called Citronica Two. Citronica One, a mixed retail-residential complex, by the same developer was completed on Broadway in July, 2009.
