- Oceanside was once a high crime area but in 1985 there was a significant decrease in crime and a revitalized downtown. But the possibility of offshore oil rigs off the coastline was looming and many were against it. The mayor told Susan Lichtman (Taylor) they were planning to build a new pier and he didn't want the view to be oil rigs. It did not come to pass and in November 1986, ballot measures that would ban construction of pipelines or refineries in San Diego and Oceanside passed.
💯💯🙏 Wow, never seen the O'side pier WITHOUT Ruby's Restaurant attached at the end... Must've been really boring having literally Just A Pier!!! lol
its gone man 😢 it got replaced after covid…
Ruby’s II in Bridgeport, Conn
Macabes bar
Sup I come from the future, Ruby's burnt down along with the end of the pier, on Thurs 04/25/2024!
@@capitans12 I knew it was recently. I used to go their almost everyday back in '75' and '76'. I had an apartment at 306 So. Pacific. I got a living allowance every month of $115.00. My rent was 85 so I had 30 left over for weed. I was a corpsman at 53 area (Horno) dispensary.
Those 2 theaters I went to almost every weekend. One of them showed Bruce Lee movies all the time. I lived on So. Pacific, (300 block) in '75' and "76". Studio apartment was 85 bucks a month. I would love to see inside it today. I hear a small studio like that is around 2K a month now days. I got 115 dollars per month for living allowance. That gave me 30 left over for groceries. I was a corpsman at Area 53 dispensary. I would never have believed Oceanside would end up like this. It was just a sleepy, little surf town back in those days. I remember Nixon played golf there a couple of times per month.
that's amazing. Life was so much more enjoyable back then. I am 54 and I lived in Ocean Beach down south San Diego 32 years ago and paid $250 a month for a small little studio house off Ebers st. That same place is now being rented for $2200. crazy.
No Ruby’s at them end of the Pier, and a white railing. So different.
Right?
We are back to no rubys at the peir
@@DTPAR It just recently closed due to a fire about 6 months ago. They are re-building again.
Grew up in Oceanside in the late 2000s all the way up to the present until me and family recently left the state.
It was like heaven on Earth back then. The people, nightlife, partying, community parks, events, bbqs, and the elementary school field trips were all 2nd to none. North Terrace Elementary in the early 2010s was the greatest experience of my entire life and it will always have a special place in my heart.
I remember Oceanside in 1989 as being much like the first part of the video. I guess it wasn't cleaned up for long.
I was homeless with my ex wife for a while there and they treated us very well. Now I'm single and I'm going back as a registered behavior technician and eventually behavior analyst. 🤪
It never cleaned up. You can't polish a turd.
Bring 1955 prices back
Oceanside in 1983 was a dive of a town, that strip downtown was just plain garbage. but as a 18 year old new marine, it was playland. it was fun on a stick, i enjoyed just being there and watching the mayhem. get a piece of pizza and it was dinner and a show. yall did a good job cleaning her up. but i will never forget the VEGAS ON CRACK that was oceanside..
There use to be an A andW restarurant in oceanside town
Ya we know.
There were two A&Ws actually. One is now the Angelo's on South HILL Street. Does anybody know what the second one is now?
I lived in Carlsbad in 1985. Spent a lot of time in Oceanside. The reporter's hair and makeup are best left forgotten.
It was better before they sold it out
Oceanside is the best!
I Wanna go there
Nothing crazy about it really
It’s awesome here.
IF YOU ARE A HOMELESS DON'T CAME. PLEASE.
It's ruined now
@@josephstalin760 No, not at all. It's grown a lot with much glam new businesses and tons of tourism. Especially at the Thursday sunset market. They really worked on Oceanside.
Grew up going to Oceanside in the 80s and 90s, my parents owned a 4 unit apartment building near the beach they wound up selling for a nice chunk of change
Ah 1985! That year I got a ticket in downtown Oceanside on Hill Street (now called Coast Hwy 101) for wearing headphones. The motorcycle cop who pulled me over said I was wearing them while driving. I was wearing them around my neck not using them...but WTF...got a ticket anyway. Yup, Oceanside was pretty crappy back in the 1970s and 1980s.
Oceanside High class of ‘81. My great grandfather was on the Chamber of Commerce
Wow what a throwback it’s on its way back to being a terrible place again LOL homeless capital.
On it's way? It's been there since the late 80s
What's the reporter's name?
This isn't a dating site
Don't because you pay Rent at Oceanside you think are Local... I been living here most of my live..
I was born there in 84, was there for many years. My dad was a Marine. I've thought about moving back out there.
@@jessicadavis6551 It’s a shit hole now
Wait so that means your not local? Most of your life ?😂 I was born in 1991 im from mesa margarita by vandergrift and gold used to live right by Camp Pendleton’s back gate I’m a local
I can’t afford to buy a place.
A more visible crooked police force
I don't understand why people are complaining now that we need to preserve Oceanside and not make it nicer. So dumb. I'm happy they've cleaned it up and continue to do so. It's a beautiful place and deserves to be treated well and get all those gangs, prostitution, and drugs out.
Drugs and gangs are staying no doubt about that….I wish thier was still prostitution tho 👌🏽
I went to Oceanside in September of 21’ then again in June 22’ for a month. It was the most chill experience. I would of NEVER think it had issues. There was the occasional drug addict but that’s EVERYWHERE! I had fun!
I'm in oceanside of August of 2023 it's more beautiful than ever and a lot is planned in oceanside tge next 2 to 5 years a lot of great things down the pipeline economically, it's doing big things in the Summer of 23
@@victorc8804 Word, enjoy your stay. I’ll be honest, idk if I’d visit again unless I have a reason too. I was there twice already. I had fun tho
Oh boy, if you would have had those rigs then you would have had businesses that THEY LIKED oppenning up, hookers, drugs, bars, if you think the marines can be hard to deal with, let a few hunbdred roughnecks from the oil riggs loose after 2 weeks on the rig and a pocket full of cash. youve never seen a mess like that....
Lol, the Marines and police are the problem.
moo moo
Hold up, this was after the renovation? Because in the 86-89 area, it wasn't that top-notch.
I was born 10 years later after this . 1995
*_HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SON._*
Shame that.
This when we moved there
Was stationed at Camp Pendleton twice in the early 70's, and both times were at the 62 area just a couple of miles to San Clemente, and only go down to Oceanside.
Most of the time we took busses to either Los Angeles or San Diego.
Let us talk.
Nobody wants to hear you talk.
