A Little More San Diego

Les and I have a favorite restaurant in San Diego. We've been there many times over the years and taken friends along. It's a fun, 50s type diner called Corvette Diner. The first time we went there was on our first anniversary. Back then the area was very run down and we parked in a gravel lot! This time we drove to the location, parked in underground parking, and it was an Urban Outfitters! What??? They moved and didn't tell us! Fortunately we were able to find the new location.



Now this is a cherry coke!


On Wednesday I explored two locations - Fashion Valley Mall and Old Town San Diego. From the outside Fashion Valley looks like your typical mall - but it is not enclosed. Here is a picture from the food court on the second floor:



Since I really didn't need anything, I didn't stay at the mall very long. I went to Old Town San Diego and enjoyed the history and unique shops it had to offer.



There was a live band here, but when I came back to take a picture, they were gone!





I sent Les an email with this picture...

I also learned about the 12-step chocoholics program: Never be more than 12 steps away from chocolate!

I spent a little time in the Seeley Stable Museum.





I also learned why the area we were staying in was called "Hazard Center." It wasn't because of earthquakes, but was named for R.E. Hazard. "Pappy" Hazard was a San Diego cattle rancher whose construction company later paved many of the roads in the city.




It's amazing what you learn when you stop and read signs! I love his motto - "Be Just and Fear Not." If you ARE just, you won't have nearly as much to fear in life.
