Growing Up in San Diego
Before the malls in Mission Valley, and the 5, the 805, and the 52, there was a simpler San Diego. One filled with wide-open spaces and dirt roads, daylong Padres games that ended with a Beach Boys concert and fireworks, beachfront properties that sold for $600, and the freedom to swing from the branches of that big banyan tree in Balboa Park. Being a kid in San Diego was magic—and we’re not alone in our nostalgia. Here, 26 notable locals share their childhood memories of the city that was.
