@zarquondam Жыл бұрын

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.

Love your rendition of San Diego, lol, except for the Kissing Couple from WW2. Supposedly, she had no qualm in being kissed, so really its not a offensive act. Again, the rest of fyi, is really great, gracias. 😊

Great video, just correct two things please. The Rady Shell (pronounced: Ray-dee) not "ratty." The Rady Shell at Jacobs park opened in May 2021 it was named after some of the major donors. Ernest & Evelyn Rady gave 15 million to the project and Joan & Irwin Jacobs gave 11 million to the project, thus the name Jacob park & Rady shell. The statue (Unconditional Surrender) statue of the Sailor & Nurse embraced in a kiss: they're actually strangers to one & other. The authentic incident was photographed in 1945 in Times Square at the end of WWII. Read the entire history on the statue to find out all the interesting details of the original subjects in the famous photo from 1945.

Nope you are not wrong at all. Sadly, it's really becoming a problem. Some choose this life & before anyone thinks of getting all riled up bc I state this, interviews showed many homeless stating they did not want to be under anyone's rule, or work & etc. Then there are those that sadly circumstances forced them to live in their cars n then lose their car thus now on any corner, bush or area they can find or to camp at. Padre God help us all. Anyone of us can lose what we have in a instant.
