San Diego/ La Jolla

[jonesthecurl]

Considering spending a few days there in the next coupla months.
Recommendations? Things and places to avoid? Meet for a beer?

[jonesthecurl]

Nobody? I hear the zoo is (one of) the best in North America.

You can drive up to Santa Monica and drink at the Regal Beagle.

> Recommendations?

- Old Town Market -- it's an open air market from the Spanish colonial period.

> Things and places to avoid?

- The entire state of California north of San Juan Capistrano and south of Eureka.

You mean, where I've lived since '14?

[2dimes]

Whoa, 2014? Time sure flies.

Yeah, that advice comes from a guy living in the Bill and Milinda region. Too far north to go on a whim and get an ice cream cone from Dick's. Though in his defense, that city sounds pretty gnarly in the last year or two.

I wouldn't mind bumming around from the Morman Bar to Georgetown.

Why wouldn't a guy want to go take a look at General Sherman?

Plus he should write up some of his specific greivences toward the Napa Vally.

I have never been to San Diego, but hear it's a target rich environment for us taco hunters. You're a little early to go watch Americas sport a Cricket like game, that only lasts a few hours.

The zoo is certainly legendary.

I haven't been in California since 1983, so any opinions I have are probably very outdated.

How many of you, ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

I’ve never been to California.
I’ll be in Little Rock next week, if that matters.

Mook's in the beautiful, cool part of Cali.

San Jose....LA....that sux

When I lived in LA I took the LA Metro one weekend downtown which was the cleanest, most beautiful subway I've ever been on, but was 90% empty. I told my boss - who claimed he hadn't left Los Angeles County in the preceding eight years as he didn't feel there was anything worthwhile in the outside world - and he said "LA has a subway?"

[2dimes]

Did you go to the zoo, get tacos?

[KoolBak]

Someone has WAY too much fucking time on their hands.

He's retired.

I'd spend more time here if I could afford to retire.

[KoolBak]

"retired"



Still annoying.

You don't like tacos?

[Dukasaur]

You don't like tacos?

I've got an amazing taco story. I'll tell it if three people ask.

[Maxleod]

The fucking place should be wiped off the face of the earth.
