Not as much, PhillyRising, as the San Andreas is pretty far inland, actually quite near it's southern extent, once it gets as far south as the San Diego area... Of course, San Diego CAN have major earthquakes, but I'd say they're more likely in San Fran or L.A. than there...

Ran the marathon in San Diego in 2005. I thought it was an amazing city... Your pictures are beautiful.

I agree! Balboa Park is one of my favorite spots in all of San Diego.

Great photo thread, destroycreate!

Thanks so much guys! Glad ya'll enjoyed the thread.

I feel like San Diego gets way underexposed here and within the near future I'm going to try to document as many urban areas of SD possible

Nah, we need all our airports here, even LAX.

Great photos! Your Dad is quite lucky to have that view.

I was in San Diego in '07 and I fell in love instantly. Thanks for bringing me back there!

Hard to imagine San Diego as a dump. Now there probably have been some neighbourhoods, that were considered a dump, that now have been reconstructed, but the majority of the city is absolutely spectacular.

Can't say I've ever had a bad time in San Diego. Great place to spend the weekend... or longer if possible.

Gotta love a city where you can go from the strip club to the pink zone (as shown in pics 10&13).
