Great job.. I lived in San Diego for 10 yrs. 1980 to 1990. Still miss its beauty and the interesting people and places.

San Diego is beautiful, I remember going to Southern California every year, with my parents, we would go to the zoo sea world, they used to have a place called Marian land and bush gardens. Know that I’m in my early fourties’ and I travel most of the time by my self. I’ll hit up some of the beaches I’m going to tell you tho knocks bearry farm has a wonderful chicken dinner.

[Bolero_Kelly]

Love your Southern California series. Please do Tijuana while you're nearby and also Catalina Island, Long Beach and Orange County.

Another must-see is Safari Park (which a lot of locals still call by its old name, "Wild Animal Park"). It's less depressing than the San Diego Zoo because the animals can roam freely in a large area while safari buses travel through the habitat. (There's also a balloon ride, but the balloon only goes straight up and down.)
2:35 - In San Diego if you say "trolley" most people will assume you mean the actual MTS trolley (which at 18:31 you call a "tram"), not this tour bus that calls itself a trolley.
7:11 - Cabrillo and his crew did not settle in California, and he has nothing to do with Old Town. Old Town is called the birthplace of California because Father Junipero Serra founded a mission there in the late 18th century, over 200 years after Cabrillo sailed by.
8:18 - Might be helpful to explain that by "the convention" you mean the 1915 Panama-California Exposition (kind of like a World's Fair), followed up by the California Pacific International Exposition in 1935. Many of the Park's distinctive buildings were constructed for one or the other of those two Expos.
13:57 - The sailor is NOT kissing his "girlfriend or wife." This statue is based on the famous 1945 photo from LIFE magazine of a sailor celebrating the Allied victory who just grabbed a random woman on the street and kissed her against her will. It's an incredibly offensive statue that essentially celebrates sexual assault.
19:02 - Historical sources disagree as to whether Cabrillo was Portuguese or Spanish. They certainly weren't "the same thing, " though.
21:11 - The cave outline, because it looks like a person's head, was nicknamed "Sunny Jim" by L. Frank Baum, the author of the Oz books. Baum is also thought to have designed the chandeliers for the dining room of the Del Coronado hotel, where he lived for a while. His book "The Sea Fairies" was inspired by the many sea caves along the La Jolla coast.
22:58 - Pretty sure you meant "San Diego, " not "Los Angeles, " there.
