That’s apparently the official term for 125th birthday or anniversary, and that’s how old Pacific Beach will be on Wednesday, Dec. 12. Why, yes, it will be 12-12-12!! There is some talk of a party at the Typhoon Saloon, where you will be able to pick up a free 11-by-14 color copy, suitable for framing, of this 1887 Pacific Beach map.
