Pacific Beach Foot Traffic, Retail, Up in Smoke
Us locals from the 60's always called it "the Frosty Shop".....and yes...it was born in 1949....just like me !— December 14, 2013 8:57 p.m.
Pacific Beach Foot Traffic, Retail, Up in Smoke
I grew up in PB in the 50's & 60's. It was an awesome, magical place to be. Kids all over the place to play with...canyons galore....chicken farm....bowling alley(s) ....miniture golf....Roxy Theatre (now torn down for Post Office on Cass)...Drive In....on & on.....not to mention the beach. We never really needed to leave PB to go shopping anywhere else as we had all the shops & stores all up & down Garnet......from Mission Blvd on up to say Lamont....everything from A to Z was available to the residents of PB.....AND, there were just a handful of Bars in PB.....everything seemed to be in balance. And being an old timer PB'er it not only breaks my heart to see how it is today but for all us "slightly older peeps" who still live in PB or still in San Diego to see from what PB was to what PB is today. At least two things in PB are still the same....Crystal Pier & the wonderful Ocean. BTW....a Mission Bay High School classmate owned the Longboard Bar.......— December 14, 2013 8:50 p.m.
Pacific Beach Foot Traffic, Retail, Up in Smoke
PB DID have a TSUNAMI warning way back in 1963 or 1964!!! The Big earthquake in Alaska created a Tsunami warning all the way down the coast to PB....people were evacuated in MB & PB at 2 am by the police going door to door....those who lived right close to the beach. But the tide only rose maybe 2 or 3 feet— December 14, 2013 8:26 p.m.
