Ahh, San Diego.
There’s a lot to love about it. It’s room temperature 300 days out of the year, Sea World makes it fun – and profitable – to watch an orca belly flop, the zoo is vast and beautiful and it was ahead of the curve in the central city and public transit renaissances.
Only, this is about the cities north of it. At least it’s in the same county. And the city’s attractions make a more interesting lead than saying the North County cities are remarkable for being military towns that do not have tattoo parlors and rancid prostitutes as their economic base.
The way to explore San Diego – city or county – is by public transportation. The meager service and exorbitant fares are made up by excellent planning and scenic routes that are fun to ride.
