Spun Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Some ideas on those of you who will be convening in San Diego this weekend... Bars: Pacific Beach (PB) - Lahaina's (right at the beach) Moondoggies, PB Bar and Grill (Garnet Ave, a few blocks from the beach, relatively cheap and lovely, young ladies). Blind Melons (also Garnet, Bills Club HQ, blues bar) Downtown Gaslamp District: Fifth Ave.: Take your pick. Much pricier, more formal. Bitter End can be fun. Beaches: Pacific Beach/Mission Beach Ocean Beach Coronado La Jolla Shores/La Jolla Cove Interesting Sites: Cabrillo Monument: http://www.nps.gov/cabr/ Mt Soledad: http://www.sandiego.com/virtualviews-1.jsp La Jolla Cove Internet: Wired on Hornblend St in Pacific beach one Block south of Garnet Ave. Also Pacific Beach Library on Cass St and Thomas. Note the San Diego libraries have free internet access. Family Stuff: San Diego Zoo http://www.sandiegozoo.org/ SeaWorld http://www.seaworld.com/seaworld/ca/ The beaches (drunk people inhabit Pacific and Mission Beaches so either Coronado, North PB -still some drunks and La Jolla Cove are great for kids... Pizza: Very limited. Bronx Pizza on Washington St is pretty good. Chicken Wings: Fahgettaboutit... Interesting Museums: Balboa Park. One in particular is the San Diego Hall of Champions: http://www.sdhoc.com/main/about_us/faqs/ The Hall of Champions has one free day each month. It is the fourth Tuesday of the month which happens to be November 22nd, two days after the Bills and Chargers meet. Tijuana: Be careful, stay together, avoid going alone, don't drink too much, get out as quick as you can. Do not j-walk as the TJ cops take this as an opportunity to extort. They stand in the shadows, usually wear dark blue wind breakers and they come out of no where. They ask for $100 on the spot or offer $1000 at the "Policia" station. They will ask for atm cards and for you to use a cell phone to call for more money. The stories get worse. I am not joking. If you go during the day (there is one Bills fan leading a tour) things should be cool. Nights are different. Many of the Mexican people are very cool, just trying to get ahead like the rest of us. Have fun don't drink and drive and all that. Bills get it done. Welcome to San Diego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
