Coleman University

Coleman University has not been at 7380 Parkway Drive for five or six years. Coleman College moved to Balboa Avenue, changed from a college to a university, and set up another campus in North County.
Right now the property is owned by the San Diego Church of Scientology, who bought it in 2008, hoping to demolish the existing structures and build a new headquarters. Nothing has happened since, and the property remains semi-​abandoned. They used to have a caretaker living in a trailer behind the computer museum building in 2009, but he is long gone. The property has two buildings, and the one closest to the street is a graffiti magnet; somebody covers over the vandalism with ugly gray paint, so tags do not last long. The La Mesa Fire Department sent a ladder truck out to clear brush last summer. There are street views if you want to see the property on Google Maps, it’s the local eyesore.
