My 1st and 3rd duty station in the Navy was in San Diego. I used to go there all the time. Like the young lady said not crowded or too many tourists. Very relaxing
I have been to imperial Beach at least 15 times And I live far away

When I was a kid in the mid-1960s, my family moved to IB. We lived half a block away from the beach. The big estuary could be seen from our backyard. But the town itself was a sleepy, beat up old beach town.

Wow it must of been way different back in the 60s. It's still a sleepy beach town but it looks like theyve made improvements and more people have started to come down to visit over the past couple years. Do you still live in San Diego?

As a local, I can tell you IB was much different in prior decades. It was basically just a navy town with a fully operational base in the 60s. Going into the 70's and 80's meth and biker gangs/skinheads became an issue. The 90s saw a lot of gang violence. The town began to become more gentrified in the 2000s but was still socioeconomiclly depressed. For a long time people avoided this city, but that kind of played in our favor in the redevelopment of the city which still provides that small town feel, where those homes from the 60s are now selling for $1 million.
You didnt talk about ye olde plank inn or bullpen tavern or don panchos. But not bad.

I've got to try that chile nogada taco. Do you know if it will still be available in November? or was the taco only available in September?

I was told it was only available in September. They have other options but if you're specifically looking for the chile nogada, September 2020 may be the next time u can try it. Still a great taco place nonetheless!
"Steel Beach Beer". Wow- reminds me of when I was on the USS Independence in '93. It was called, "Steel Beach Picnic", but it was on the Arabian Sea at 110 degrees outside. The next day, the line to medical stretched to the fantail (half of the ship).
Love that ol"school Padres cap.

The beach is closed 300 days a year due to the raw sewage flowing from the Tijuana river a quarter mile down. On some days the smell is so bad you can't be outside without feeling sick. Nothwistanding those issue, IB is great!
