Frying tonight
I've always been told that a pair of sneakers hung on overhead wires signifies a drug house nearby. If that's true, what do you think this exhibit, at the East end of Hotel Circle, means? Our brains are totally fried, maaaannn....

U.S.S. Recruit
The area has been renovated over the last few years and now the 'ship' sits at the corner of a lovely knew shopping center called Liberty Station, instead of being surrounded by drab yellow & grey military buildings of what was the Naval Training Center. The U.S.S. Recruit was declared a historical landmark on Aug. 13th, 2005.

Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time...
You know the whistle part...
Okay, no one is sitting on the dock here because it is too darn hot! This dock is at the end of Shelter Island's Yacht Basin close to where San Diego Bay meets the Pacific Ocean. Click here to see a map of the Bay.

Talmadge Gates - Theme Day street lights/street signs
Talmadge, a small community near San Diego State University, has gates on the sidewalks of the streets. If you say you live in Talmadge, you better be ready to hear, "do you live inside the gates?" (It raises your coolness factor by a few points if you can say 'yes.')
Talmadge was named after the wife of Joseph Schenck, (then President of United Artists), Norma Talmadge, and her sisters, Constance and Natalie. The three sisters were noted silent film stars. On January 3, 1926, the sisters hosted a dedication ceremony in Talmadge. More than 10,000 San Diego residents as well as famous actors Buster Keaton and William S. Hart were in attendance. The community was advertised as a self-sufficient community, a place from which "residents could send their children to school from Kindergarten through college and not have to move."
The Talmadge area was called by the San Diego Union newspaper on July 28, 1928, "the city's most attractive close-in residential tract." I don't know if it's still the *most* attractive, but it really is darn pretty there! More Talmadge info here.
