If you are over 50 you remember December 13, 1967. It snowed! I am not talking Alpine. I am talking...San Carlos, Clairemont, La Jolla, the entire City. Our teacher let us go outside and play in the snow. Several inches fell. Only time in my life it snowed in central San Diego.

That's Cool

Thanks for the link! I was 7 years old when it snowed and it was a huge deal! None of us had ever seen snow actually falling. Except maybe a weekend trip to Julian or Laguna and that was always after the snow had fallen. But never in our neighborhoods. Now 46 years later I realize I may never see snow in central San Diego again. What an amazing experience it was!

Remember Shotgun Tom Kelly on B100
You still say "Jack Murphy" stadium...and know who "Jack Murphy" is.
KGB had the "chicken", "Jim McInnis" and "John Leslie". Once a week I would tune in to the "Homegrown Hour" hosted by Jim McInnis.
Tower Records was the place to go to buy your LP's. Or "Off the Record" for hard to find LP's.
Back to school clothes had to include "Dittos". Bought mine at TG & Y.
Beau Gentry's was the place to go for a waterbed.
For those who lived in North County...after graduation you put in applications at "Sonys", "NCR" & [LEFT][FONT=arial][/FONT][/LEFT]"Hewlett-Packard".
Went to Shakeys for pizza parties.
You know what the "zoo" or "pig trough" is at Farrel's.
You remember the "Chargers" 12 days of christmas song? Anyone remember all the words to it, or at least some?
The only reason you were in downtown (gaslamp) after dark was to eat at the spaghetti factory.
You could catch live music (local bands) at one of the many bars scattered around the county (before the gaslamp district became what it is today). The Baccahnal, Mony Mony's, Park Place, Blind Melons, Jose Murphys, Del Mar and PB cafes, Winstons, Tio Leo's, spirit club.

You could also listen to bands and dance at the Halcyon; sit in the old wood booths & get cheap pitchers of beer at Foggy's Notion; go to the KGB Sky Show at Jack Murphy Stadium; go to the same place & pay $2 for nosebleed seats for Padre games & bring in your own refreshments...whatever kind you wanted ;see your friends get married at Cafe del Rey Morro in Balboa Park; sit on the sunny patio at Casa de Pico in Old Towne & drink margaritas; if someone had money, go have a really great dinner at Mr. A's; if broke, drive thru Picnic N Chicken; shoot pool all day at Bollweevil; watch "Corpsegrinders" & other similar works of art at the Ace Drive-In in Lemon Grove.

I didn't know anyone did until I saw it on here.

You know you're from San Diego when...you can't live more than a mile from the ocean.
