Point Loma, San Diego is a place full of dynamic people,
unique events, hidden hotspots and incomparable novelties. Some days, you walk
down the street to your favorite Mexican food “restaurant,” running into 15 homeless people on the way and other days you are driving down the
street, losing count of the million-plus dollar homes on your left and right.
This small town is really in a league of its own, and there are just some things
that you only understand if you are a true PL kid.
1. Driving the cliffs, but immediately turning around after you pass Nobes.
2. The struggle of climbing down to Garbage.
Seriously, that damn rope is going to break someday soon.
3. 1502. PLOB.
4. F*** La Jolla. Not really, but kinda.
Will the feud ever seize to exist?
5. Buying alcohol from Trader Morts and the "liquor store by Stumps."
You know why.
6. Going to Ortiz's and accepting that you will see everyone and their mother there.
7. Ordering the pink drink and doing sake bombs at Sushiya.
And praying you don't see any adults who know your true age while you're doing so.
8. The huge different between "PL" and "OB."
It is way more than just a zip code that separates the two towns.
9. Green St., the "Million Dollar" spot, Whittier St., etc.
10. Silently shunning anyone who isn't a local when they go to No Surf.
Excuse me, who do you know here?
11. Attractive people running the cliffs... constantly.
Like cut that out you're already hot and skinny.
12. The battle of the taco shop, who will win?
Ortiz's, Adalberto's, Nico's, Roberto's and Cotijas are all winners when you're hungover.
13. Realizing that there are just some guys who will never leave the top of Nobes.
14. Going to SDSU to party when you're still in high school.
And feeling like a badass for it.
15. "Want to get an acai bowl and eat it at the cliffs?"
Have your $5 cash ready and easily accessible.
16. Accepting that you will be asked for money from homeless people at every stop light in the Sports Arena area.
Sorry, I'm buying an acai bowl with that money.
17. "Joint Loma."
Oops, I mean "Point Loma".
18. Watching people from out of town get aggressively yelled at when they bring glass down to No Surf.
Beware the King of Nobes.
