Motorsport Scooters - Business of the Year
Saving the World One Scooter at a Time.
When looking for a small business engaged in its local community, it's hard to find a better representative than Motorsport Scooters. Over the past 20 years, this scooter dealership and parts supplier has grown from a small retail store
serving the Vespa community into one of the premier brands for scooter supplies in the United States. Now known as the country's most respected source for scooter parts, Motorsport Scooters' expansion has come without a compromise to its
commitment to quality customer relationships.
These relationships begin with the friendly atmosphere of the scooter shop, where most customers are greeted by their first names as they walk through the door. New customers are treated in a similar way, and every visitor is sure to be
offered whatever food happens to be at the shop the day of his or her visit.
Moreover, with its unparalleled staff expertise, Motorsport Scooters daily offers technical advice over the phone, in the store, and via their website, scooterwest.com. Owner Alex Cohn describes this service as "good old-fashioned know
how, for free." The shop also frequently holds local rides and events featuring free food, music, raffles and scavenger hunts.
 Outside of serving scooterists, Motorsport is active in the broader San Diego community as well. Every year they organize a Christmas
event called the "Scooter Charity Toy Run," in which employees and volunteers gather donations of toys, clothes, and other items for the children who live at the San Diego Center for Children. Outside of this event, the largest organized
by the shop, Motorsport Scooters also donates one brand new scooter every year to the Children's Center to be auctioned off in their annual fundraising event.
No stranger to supporting the nonprofits that support the community, Alex Cohn sits on the board for the Boulevard, the nonprofit Business Improvement Association for El Cajon Boulevard. Motorsport also donates to other charities, most
recently sponsoring a stone at Stepping Stones, an alcohol and drug treatment facility in San Diego.
Dedicated to all things scootering, the owner and employees at Motorsport Scooters manage to have fun and stay positive while enjoying their passion. Indeed, the product itself is a worthy cause: scooters use less gas than cars, have fewer
emissions, cut parking clogs and traffic congestion, and generally use up fewer resources than cars and trucks. All in all, with a knowledgeable and friendly staff and a great community attitude, Motorsport Scooters is the only place to go
for a scooter. In fact, Motorsport Scooters is always looking to recruit new riders in their race to "Save the world one scooter at a time."

Taste of Colina Park
Stories of Food and Community
Many people would agree that the downtown of any city reflects the essence of the those who live there. In Colina Park, we can walk down El Cajon Boulevard and University Avenue and experience food from all parts of the world, so you can
just imagine the exquisite dishes that are cooked in the homes of families in Colina Park.
This year, students at the Multimedia and Visual Arts School (MVAS) at Crawford High Educational Complex initiated the Taste of Colina Park service learning project by interviewing family members and friends in the community about a
favorite recipe that reflects their culture and traditions. Not only do these recipes and stories exemplify the unique make-up of the neighborhood, but they have given students a new sense of pride for their family members, individuals in
their school and their community.
Designed by students in ROP Computerized Design, this cookbook features the recipes and reflections shown on this website. With an easy-to-use spiral format, you will be able to place this cookbook anywhere in your kitchen.

Yelp About the Boulevard
Mihn Ky
4644 El Cajon Blvd
Yelper: I love being the only white person in an Asian restaurant! I always feel like I've been transported to a distant land.
We found this place a few months ago (thanks to Yelp) and we've been back many times since. I've yet to have something I didn't love.
The Orange Chicken is my favorite and it's so much better than Chinese fast food version!
The food is cheap, the place is small and they only take cash. Enjoy!
