alitezar February 25th, 2007, 07:17 PM It is really a very beautiful city. I love the Corondao Bridge, Coronado peninsula and Point Loma area.
CrazyAboutCities February 25th, 2007, 09:56 PM Awwww beautiful pictures! I miss San Diego so much already! Grrr!
goschio February 25th, 2007, 10:28 PM When I have enough of Townsville I will move to San Diego!
derek5 February 26th, 2007, 12:07 AM thanks guys
Awwww beautiful pictures! I miss San Diego so much already! Grrr!
well...come back!;)
hngcm February 26th, 2007, 01:00 AM Puuuuuurrdy.
oliver999 February 26th, 2007, 01:31 AM beautiful seaside city, nice place.
CrazyAboutCities February 26th, 2007, 01:42 AM thanks guys
well...come back!;)
Funny thing I was thinking about it a while ago. I will come back when San Diego become cheap place to live in again! :)
derek5 February 26th, 2007, 02:00 AM ^^true that! unfortunately, i dont think it will be anytime soon...
CrazyAboutCities February 26th, 2007, 02:02 AM ^^true that! unfortunately, i dont think it will be anytime soon...
Yeah San Diego is almost PERFECT city to live in. If San Diego is cheap place to live... For sure San Diego would become the nation's largest city after NYC and beats LA!
mello February 26th, 2007, 02:06 AM I love da shots bra!! Looking hella bomb. Notice how you can see the islands in Mexico and the giant hill in Northern Tijuana if you look closely. Like I always say, Tijuana: The 3rd world San Francisco!! (Rolling hills carpeted in homes baby).....
derek5 February 26th, 2007, 02:48 AM ^^thank you...nice comparison! haha
Urbandeco February 26th, 2007, 05:00 AM Had a great time when I was there. Downtown seems to be booming. How many new buildings are under construction? SD really has a nice city feel to it but it is very laid back too which I liked. I think it seemed more laid back than San Francisco and definitely more laid back than Los Angeles. I thought it was almost perfect however it is so damn expensive to buy a place...yikes
Liked the different neighbourhoods like Hillcrest, Little Italy and the new ballpark neighbourhood. Would love to see more pics of that fine city.
derek5 February 26th, 2007, 06:52 AM yea, the only bad thing about SD, living cost, yet the population is expected to increase another 100,000 within the next 5 years
numbers for you:
122 completed
23 proposed
21 approved
18 under construction
^^according to emporis
CrazyAboutCities February 26th, 2007, 06:58 AM ^^ I'm not surprised with San Diego's growth. San Diego is an expensive place to live but still attracting thousands and thousands of people anyway. I wonder how did they manage it...
derek5 February 26th, 2007, 07:12 AM so do i...its quite amazing actually...
chula vista is blowing up HUGE as well...otay mesa is getting big too...massive growth not only in the city by the surrounding cities as well
CrazyAboutCities February 26th, 2007, 08:32 AM ^^ Wow! What's new with my old home in Point Loma lately?
StevenW February 26th, 2007, 11:01 AM Very nice photos. :yes:
derek5 February 26th, 2007, 05:00 PM ^^thanks:)
^^ Wow! What's new with my old home in Point Loma lately?
its pretty much the same, some minor development, mostly commercial, they put a chick-fil-a in the sports arena parking lot, but its still a fun area
RGV February 26th, 2007, 05:09 PM Beautiful pics Derek. Man, we're taking the kids to spend one week in San Diego this summer and we just can't wait.
Hope the weather than is as nice as it was during your walkabout.
austin356 February 26th, 2007, 08:42 PM humm, I would grow my career down there if not for the 10% state income tax. But, there is nothing I can do about such, so I guess I will just have to visit every once and a while. OH and this city is by far the best place to live in Calif. (outside SF city, if that suits personal taste)
CrazyAboutCities February 27th, 2007, 01:46 AM ^^thanks:)

Really? When I lived there... That neighborhoold just got started to change from low income housing into upscale neighborhood like tearing small houses down and replaced with huge houses. My old house was one of few huge houses at my time. I don't know what it looks like now... My old friends who still living there by now told me that Point Loma looks different now than my time. I need come back and check it out.
Chick-Fil-A? You're lucky! I love that place and I tried it last November in Houston, Texas! Its delicious!
Anyway, San Diego still has old sport arena that still doing Kobys swap meeting every weekend?
derek5 February 27th, 2007, 02:43 AM yep kobys still goes on every weekend! i guess you lived here waaaay longer ago than i thought...the pt. of pt. loma is like all upscale now...with the area around the 8 and the sports arena being commercial...not very much empty space left
:)

Yeah I lived in San Diego from 1989 to 1994. I was really young and surprised I remember alot about San Diego. My parents loved Kobys ALOT! We used to go there every weekend to buy nice stuff for our house and family/friends.
CrazyAboutCities February 27th, 2007, 07:46 AM WOW! That last picture above is my new favorite picture of San Diego! Great job! :)
derek5 February 27th, 2007, 03:20 PM ^^thank you:)

-Corey- February 28th, 2007, 08:23 AM beautiful pics of sd
4GradosNorte February 28th, 2007, 09:32 AM beautiful pics of sd
Woww SD is actually one of the best cities to live in the US. Gosh!! I like SD so much!!
mello February 28th, 2007, 09:46 AM Crazy about Cities: The Naval Training Center in Point Loma that was shuttered has now been converted to residential and commercial use. I'm guessing about 400 townhomes/duplexes were built there for military families and private citizens. Maybe more I don't know the exact number. The whole developement is called "Liberty Station" google it and it will tell you about all the new commercial stuff that is coming online.
RGV: The weather in summer is always pretty mild. It definitley won't rain but it is often cloudy during the summer due to a "marine layer" which is low clouds that come in off the ocean due to prevailing wind patterns from the South. This happens in coastal deserts in the Western Hemishpere, I've actually found out that Lima Peru gets a marine layer condition a lot! Ever noticed in photo threads on Lima that it is always sunny with lots of haze or overcast.
Anyway you should get atleast a couple of sunny days. I recommend not coming in May or June because they can be very cloudy. This past summer it was very sunny, probably the sunniest summer I can remember at the coast.
derek5 March 1st, 2007, 12:02 AM ^^thanks for that...i completely forgot about that part of pt. loma, even though i pass it nearly everyday:ohno:
and thanks for the compliments everyone
The Boy David March 1st, 2007, 12:10 AM Great shots matey!
I stayed in Humphreys Half Moon Inn when I visited the city a couple of years back - what a fantastic holiday I had!
The view of Downtown SD from Shelter Island is awesome, especially at night - you got any shots of the city lights?
derek5 March 1st, 2007, 12:28 AM no...im waiting on a tripod...but i promise you ill get some...this weekend perhaps? ill post them in this thread
that mustve been an expensive holiday huh?
Taylorhoge March 1st, 2007, 03:34 AM cool pics
Dallas star March 1st, 2007, 03:55 AM Looks perfect nice and sunny!
Franzl March 1st, 2007, 05:33 AM When I have enough of Townsville I will move to San Diego!

WOW! Sounds alot of changes since I left Point Loma. I googled for it. I only found one rendering of this redevelopment. It look very San Diego! (of course it is in positive way! )
