High-end nightclubs. Adventurous dining. Hypermodern
architecture. What happened to that nice little Navy town
of San Diego? Well, that sleepy burg has woken up and it
wants to party. Growth has been fast and furious over the past 2
decades, and this Southern California city now finds itself with a glittering
skyline and a fresh attitude. With its beaches and theme parks, it’s still
one of the most family-friendly destinations in the United States, but the
nearly nightly bacchanalia in the Gaslamp Quarter leaves no doubt that
this is not your father’s San Diego.
