Last time I was in San Diego, 1968, the El Cortez hotel was the tallest building, Broadway was a typical Navy street: bars, dives, tattoo shops, etc, etc. Population about 100,000. No bridge to Coronado, rode the 'nickle-snatcher' to North Island. Good Times. Planned on staying here, go to college, never leaving. Now I'm in Philadelphia the last 40 years. Best laid plans . . . . & all that stuff.
Went to boot camp at NTC at San Diego. My first duty station ,Pearl harbor on the U.S.S. Whipple. My last duty station was 32nd st. San Diego. On board the U.S.S. Henry B. Wilson DDG 7.
When i was there last summer there was way more ships destroyers cruisers independence class destroyers medical ships supplie ships and aircraft carriers
Thanks for the video. This brings back memories.
