I have been a resident here since 1982. Born and raised in Venice but my family spent summers down here since 1969. I would like to add some nostalgia…
You are an old timer if:
– You had a Sunday morning burrito at Tugs.
– You went to Belmont park when it was REALLY Belmont Park.
– You went to the Daily Planet in PB
– You hit the Beachcomber or the Penant on either Sunday or Thursday.
– You know Stephanie Seymour (yes that supermodel) went to Poway High and her mom was a hair dresser in Poway.
– You went to UCSD when it only had 4 colleges.
– You saw the wild horses that used to hang out in Sabre Springs where the pond was. (The pond used to be where the Sabre Springs shopping center is)
– You had to take the Mira Mesa exit off of I15 cuz there was no tech center, nor was there an 805 exit. It was all dirt baby…
– You used to ride motorcycles in the fields that surrounded UTC. The only thing there was Mesa housing.
– You had to go around the coast to get to La Jolla…
– You knew someone who worked at LinkABit…
