I have been to San Diego a couple times and LOVE the weather but always thought
of it as somewhat of asleept town. More laid back. However, San Diego has been pouring loads
of money into improving infrastructure -- like their new airport and stadium, an expanded
Gaslamp Quarter and even Little Italy. The city is also heavily courting the gay market.

San Diego Pride was once overshadowed by Los Angeles, but it's become one of the largest
gay pride celebrations on the West Coast. And not only that, the San Diego Gay Pride Celebration
 is embraced by the entire San Diego community.  The annual three-day celebration, taking place
late July, attracts over 100,000 people to Hillcrest, North Park, downtown and Balboa Park,
both gay and straight. The final day closes with the famous ZOO PARTY!



                                   
                      for information on the Zoo party go to Powerhouse!



There is lots to see and do here! Take a hot air balloon ride at sunset, spend an afternoon
watching hang-gliders off the cliffs of La Jolla while enjoying the sun and surf at the popular,
 nude Black's Beach; ( At least one nude beach or topless beach can be found in almost every
county along the California coast. )  or drive to Coronado to visit The Hotel Del Coronado where
you can dine and sip cocktails against the breathtaking backdrop of a national historic landmark
coastline. It was here that a cross-dressing Tony Curtis lost his heart to a wonderfully dizzy
Marilyn Monroe in the hilarious film Some Like It Hot.

A red trolley or taxi will take you from the skyscrapers of downtown to the Mexican border where
 the bargain hunter's mecca of Tijuana awaits. Enjoy the museums, concerts, cafes, aquarium,
and the country's most exquisite zoo in downtown Balboa Park, (Balboa Park is AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!
You could spend a day here sightseeing!) or visit the "Old Town" for a flavor of San Diego's origins.
Or, just experience the haunting fragrance of eucalyptus as the sea mists sweep in over the cliffs
and shroud the ancient Torre pines with the roar of the surf. - There's lots of gay nightlife in SD too! 
In and around Hillcrest.

   






With more and more gay people moving to San Diego, the same thing could happen here like it
did in Ft. Lauderdale. It's worth checking out! Art, cluture, gay community, perfect weather and hot men!
