San Diego has a new flying attraction. The Gaslamp was once the Stingaree red-light district, home to Chinese opium dens, some 120 whorehouses, and the lawman Wyatt Earp. More than a century later, it is filled with jolly bars and restaurants like Osetra. The sixteen once-squalid square blocks of Victoriana at the city's center are freshly scrubbed—urban preservation by way of Chuck E. Cheese's.
San Diego is a place of many self-styled attractions, the San Diego Zoo, Shamu's SeaWorld. Now downtown is a cordoned off attraction, too.
San Diego County has more than its share of climatic zones from the coast to the mountains to the desert of the suburbanized interior. But in truth there are only two modes that really matter which are rain and shine, dark and light, off and on.
