Introduction:
You don’t need a trust fund, a business degree, or even a garage like Steve Jobs to launch a successful business right out of high school. What you do need is hustle, creativity, and a willingness to start small. If you’re young, motivated, and broke—but ready to be your own boss—this guide is your launchpad.
 

You think you know your neighbors… but behind those stucco walls and manicured yards, Tierrasanta is full of surprises.

Tierrasanta has always had a reputation for being quiet, neighborly, and—let’s be honest—a bit vanilla. But peel back the layers, and this “Island in the Hills” is bursting with colorfully unexpected characters doing extraordinary things behind the scenes.
 

Welcome to Tierrasanta, aka “The Island in the Hills.” Whether you're fresh off a move or just finally paying attention, this is your hyperlocal crash course.
 

1. We’re Technically an Island — But Not the Ocean Kind
Locals often refer to Tierrasanta as “the island.” That’s because it’s geographically enclosed—bordered by canyons, military land, and Mission Trails. There’s only a handful of ways in or out, so if you see someone driving in, they’re either a neighbor… or very lost.
 

Owning a pet isn’t just about squeaky toys and cuddles on the couch. Whether it’s your loyal dog or aloof but loving cat, being a responsible pet owner means becoming a bit of a detective, a nutritionist, and yes—sometimes a first responder. While the basics of pet care are well-known, it’s the not-so-obvious stuff that often makes the biggest difference. Here are real-world, insightful tips to keep your furry friend healthier, safer, and happier—especially during the hot summer months.
 

Learn how to stay safe during a heat wave and how to treat heat-related illnesses like heat exhaustion.

Learn How to Stay Hydrated – Before going out in the heat drink plenty of water.

Make a Plan to Stay Cool – Fans might not be enough. Use air conditioning at home or at a cool place like library or store/mall.

Work outside when it is cooler.

Make it a habit to check your car for pets and others before parking in the heat.
