Drove Harbor Drive many times after 1980, so could recognize the sparse buildings alongside it at that time. When you show it traveling south after the Coronado Bridge, I started mentally preparing for the sets of rr tracks, and potholes. They're still there in 2022 lol!
HOME SWEET HOME! THANK YOU! Before Seaport Village. Before the Convention Center. Airport entrance and overpass at Harbor Island still there. MCRD & NTC still there. The only thing newer is they may have begun work on the current bridge between Spanish Landing and Loma Portal at the "training mock ship"
It's really not that good anymore. I've been here since 1980, and ever since George W. Bush destroyed the middle class in the 2000s, the city has never been the same.. in fact it keeps getting worse. Overcrowded, overbuilt, the ghetto areas of the city are now 5x as big as they were in the 80s/90s, and it's really expensive. California has been Ruined.
1973, verified by 73 Buick Regal, red, pulling on to Harbor from Laurel going west at 3:24. There were a lot of really cool cars shown, including a broken down Jaguar (surprise!) XK140. San Diego was SO much better then.
Right you are, 1972/1973 confirmed by the billboard for the "new" '73 Ford LTD at 5:12. As for so much better, I don't know. It is safer now. Lots more to do around town. Not to mention cleaner nowadayz. But it wasn't as expensive as it is now, also San Diego had some jagged edges back then which gave it some character!
I was wondering if the street was going to be torn up once you went past NASCO and they were. I always said they should've just started over because all they did was layer the asphalt on top of old asphalt over the decades. Not sure why they kept those damn train tracks either since theyre not being used anymore? Got there in 1995 and you could tell San Diego was just stuck in a time warp. Even when I go today, it looks the same.,
I worked at the first off-site parking- the Park-and-Ride lot at Kettner & Vine, in 1978... we dropped off & picked up the customers in 1977 (350ci V8) & 1978(305ci V8) Chevy 7-passenger station wagons.
Those were the good old days.
Started commercial tuna
Boat fishing in the
60's.
Thanks for posting this, good memories

...and preparing for the smell of the tuna processing plants

America singing one of the prettiest songs ever written......while driving through "America's Finest City"......in the greatest era, EVER !!!
it's great but it would be perfect if it could be motion corrected.
1970's and 1980's: sexiest women.
N. Clairmont until 1970, then out to San Carlos. This brings back pleasant memories. Thanks.
Whereabouts in N. Clairemont? Arlene st. off of Limerick, 1961-71.
At least have the common decency to spell "Clairemont" correctly there Scooter.
Love this! Thanks for sharing!
Oh how I miss it.
Dam I miss San Diego

Yes and no.

I remember working the old airport just one terminal and no jet bridges and a hell of a lot less people miss those days

I love San Diego, this route would have been the LAST thoroughfare I would have filmed there, however.
wow
Ah, yes. The San Diego of Mr. Ron Burgundy.
BACK IN THE DAY SAN DIEGO HAD A SOUL IT WAS REAL WITH REAL PEOPLE NOW VIEW IT AS BEING STERILE.
