*Moving to San Diego (Solana Beach)

Recommended Posts

Anyone lived there before?  I've got an opportunity near Solana Beach that came up and it looks like I may be out of Denver in the coming months. 

The cost of living seems high but I'm used to it living most recently in DC and now Denver.  Just to add on--a lot of peeps that know me well from Cali or have lived there think I'd love it but the closest I've ever been is Dana Point. 

So, I'm looking to see what y'all think of it and whatnot.  Peace.

It'll be the best decision you have ever made. especially Solana Beach. It's s little surfer suburb that is about 25-30 minutes from the hustle of the actual city.  

It's right next to Del Mar, which is super rich and full of fine dining. 

You will have the best Mexican food and best craft beer you can imagine. 

People here can tend to be pompous ass holes in the rich area, but for the most part everyone is super chill. Like, stereotypical stoned surfer chill. 

A couple things to note:

- public transportation here is a complete joke. 

- the cost of living is high

- you pay for the weather

- I didn't wear a jacket once this year

- I went to the beach this morning, I'm gonna be there again tomorrow morning. 

- sunset on the west coast in a Mediterranean climate is out of this world. 

- miss the snow? Hour drive away to snowboard

- wanna get your actual bro on? Hour drive to the dunes.

- want the best sea food? Short drive to Peurto Nueva (Mexico)

- may be one of the more culturally diverse cities outside of LA

- you just won at life

Ok, now I'm excited haha.  I mean Denver has been awesome and I feel I've finally settled in but if I land an offer, it's going to be too good to pass up.  I'm still close to skiing/boaridng spots and at the beach.

San Diego is awesome, never personally lived there but my buddy went to UCSD so I made the commute from LA to SD quite often.

The Mexican food is stop notch.

The craft beer is top notch.

The beaches are top notch.

And of course the women are top notch.

thats all I got for you, @OnlyPantherFaninMaine and @jayflip have both lived/currently live in SD.

When I'm flown out in 2 weeks, I may try to swing by Ballast Point or Green Flash if I have the time.

Go to the Ballast in Little Italy. It's unreal. 

You'll get to try the special casks and flavor combos every week that no one else in the country will get to try.

I was born and raised in SD. Lived there until 1993 when I moved east. I grew up and lived in the Pt. Loma area, lived in Mission and Ocean Beach areas when I was in the Navy. Served on the Ocean Beach Town Council for a couple terms until I moved to the North County- Encinitas, where I lived from 1987-1993. The worst thing about living in the North County was my commute into the city every day. Huge ball suck there. But I was getting ready to retire from the Navy and I was still competing in triathlons and there was no better place to ride, swim and train than North County.

Any way, I loved it there and am proud to call it my home town. But it just got way too crowded for me and as close to retirement as I was, I knew I couldn't afford to live there on a pension and I wasn't sure what I was going to do after my Navy career was over.

    • AT got what he deserved. Be gone and enjoy those 4 catches and the bench and your pay cut
    • we have been bad offensively basically every game Rico Dowdle hasn't gone full Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson on folks.  
    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
