I'm Headin out California Way

Postby Doodle Dee. Snickers » Fri Jun 21, 2019 1:59 am

It wasn't my first choice, but you go where the jobs are, and I'm getting paid double to go out there. Excited because it'll be expensive to go out, but I can restart in a city with the beaches and mountains that I so love.

So with that said, anyone know San Diego well? Awesome shit to do, where to live or not live?

Congrats.
My cousin lives in San Diego. Top attraction is the San Diego Zoo, and it is awesome. The farmer's markets there are amazing in terms of the variety of stuff they have, though one of the ones I went to was more of an art fair than a farmer's market, so you have to go to the right one.

I have no idea where to live, though. It all looks like one giant sprawling suburb to me.

Thanks! I'll have to check out the farmer's market. I wanted to hit up the zoo when I was interviewing, but I was strapped for cash.

Encinitas is pretty cool if you're looking for a place with great beaches and the most authentic Mexican food you'll get north of the border.

I know, roughly translated, it means 'a whale's vagina'.

San Diego would be my number one place to live in the United States if I had the money and didn't care about being close to family. Just make sure you're close enough to the coast to get the marine climate instead of the desert one.

In addition to the Zoo proper, there's also a Safari park that is awesome. And I've heard Petco Park is a great place to watch baseball, if you're into that.

I'm not really into baseball, but I do like getting drunk and watching sports, and the Chargers recently left, so that's all I got. I'm a bit disappointed there's not a big aquarium like in Tampa or MIA, but I do love zoos.

As for the climate, not that worried. It hit 100 here a few weeks ago in a much more humid place while my AC is broken. Not worried about San Diego weather.

You're unconcerned with an all consuming unflinching in its destruction blazing hellscape?

Just because it's not the current weather doesn't mean it won't change in five minutes. Around this time last year... yikes.

True, but a blazing inferno vs living in Florida?

You know California is full of SJWs, Windy?
