What's Going on with Da Kine's

**** The La Mesa location has closed and Nelson is currently only doing catering

**** Da Kine's has reopened in La Mesa. You can find a post here.

I've always made mention of the "coconut wireless"....you know, the way we get info word of mouth.....at times it's better than social media. Though in these times with social distancing it's a bit harder; though I still get a lot of info from my circle of "FOYs" and various places in the 'hood and beyond where folks know me. Take for instance, last week, when working form home, I took the quick five minute drive down to Bay Park Coffee for my caffeine fix and Bruddah Noel was working. After the usual greeting and antics, he asked me if I knew that Da Kine's had closed! What!

So a couple of days later I drove on over to see for myself.

Well, the light were on and I went and found parking. The doors however, were locked. Then I saw the sign posted. It looks like they are in the process of moving.

There was a sense of relief. While Da Kine's is not on my permanent rotation, my (and from previous comments a lot of San Diegans) history with DK's goes back a while. Which I detailed in my post when they reopened in Linda Vista.

Ok so, I mentioned this to my "FOY" RonR, who lives on Maui part of the year and resides in Linda Vista. Like a good mole, ummm spy, scout he walked on over and found someone leaving the premises. According to that person, who claims to work at DK's, Nelson has found a spot to relocate to fairly close by, but doesn't want to jinx the deal.....ha, he no like make "bachi" (bad karma)….you just can't take the local out of you.....

Anyway, I'll keep you posted on what I see/hear/read. I'm glad that Da Kine's is not closing permanently. And thanks to Noel and Ron for keeping my apprised of things. Like I say, this blog would not exist if not for all of you.
