Costco to Host Book Signing for Local Carlsbad Author

CARLSBAD, Calif. - Nov. 25, 2013 - PRLog -- Once a small coastal community known for avocados and flower fields, Carlsbad has grown into a sprawling suburban city with a small beach-town feel that still maintains ties to its roots. The discovery of its mineral wells in 1883, and the subsequent naming of the city after the famed European spa in Karlsbad, Bohemia, put Carlsbad on the map as a world-class resort destination.

Miles of beautiful beaches and three lagoons located within its boundaries have shaped Carlsbad into a recreational destination as well. The Flower Fields, with vibrant rows of colorful ranunculus, now serves as a reminder of the past and a link to the future as shopping and businesses have grown up around them helping Carlsbad evolve into the diverse, progressive city it is today.
