- Sit back, relax, and transport yourself to a simpler time. The soothing voice of News 8 weatherman Doug Oliver will surely do the trick. "Mission Beach--sun, sand, and yes, even suntan lotion, but mostly, just San Diego."
The 70's and early 80's were the best time to be alive in San Diego. Had a blast.
agree. la mesa kid, but roamed all over. we owned it! that world is gone. damn.
I grew up in Pacific Beach. Went to Mission Bay High School in the early 80’s.
Some things were better then and some things are better now.
@@patr70 but mostly things were better.
@sandiegolivin Families dined in Pizza Huts. Taco Bells looked like Missions. Population around 700,000. Obviously far less crime. There was literally never any traffic at any time of the day, not even driving to the Del Mar Fair. There were all kinds of farms and orchards all around that people could visit for wholesome family bonding time… my family used to pick strawberries every year. You had to go downtown to see a homeless person and there weren’t many and there wasn’t a reason to go downtown anyway since I’m talking before Horton Plaza and Gaslamp and the Convention Center. Teenagers weren’t a menace, they were just having innocent fun and not causing any trouble for others, and they all gathered around the beaches or wherever the Trolley took them. The Chargers were great under Dan Fouts and Air Coryell. The Padres went to their first World Series. The Clippers were still in town and the local newscasts showed Sockers highlights and scores along with the Clippers Chargers and Padres. There was definitely a stronger spirit back then.
'94ish - '97 I lived at 727 San Jose right across from the mission cafe. Can't believe that little crappy house is still standing. there used to be castle house next door. rent was $300/person for 2bd. we'd sit on the front porch some Saturday evenings, and watch the expensive cars get towed from the parking lot out front, the lot was owned by a restaurant that was down a few blocks. they'd get customers license numbers and give them to the tow truck drivers. It was hilarious to watch the dudes come back with some blonde hanging on 'em. We'd be laughing so hard. Dude be thinking his car got stolen, calling the cops. we'd let him. Then after the cops told him it was towed, we say, "Hey man, they towed your car. see the sign?" As I point to the HUGE sign that says "YOU WILL BE TOWED". Those we're the friggin' days. every morning a smoke, a cup of joe from the mission cafe, sit on the wall, look for dolphins swimming in the waves. see who had to take a big crap first. run home. haha. 7am, a good time of morning to take it in. The crazies usually didn't come out till afternoon. SO many nutzo stories from those days... so many. oh man. so many. ring drunk as shit along the bay and feeling so ill, then puking in my girlfriend's front yard. oh man, so many stories, so many lost forever.
In 1978 it was sun tan lotion, now it's sunblock...lol
Lived at 3253 Mission Blvd, stones throw from the old Jack in The Box, now a Starsucks, yippee.. also lived in PB at 719 Santa Rita Ct. miss those days!
I grew up in the 70s and early 80s in San Diego. Mission Beach every weekend it seemed. Glad I got to grow up there before it went to crap. It was Americans Finest City when I lived there. Now it is LA junior and they take all our sports teams.
What are you Talking about man San Diego still and will Forever be Americas Finest City✅619 All Day Baby❤️
Walking to the beach with BellBottoms 😂🤣👍👍
If I ever get abducted by aliens I'm going to have them drop me off in Mission Beach 1978!!!
Best times ever ,hung out there as a teen in the 70s.
You get to pick the time you wanna go back? Rad. Sign me up too
My father always told me so much about how it was living here in the 80s, and im glad to descend from this
My grandpa told me his stories of living in San Diego when he was younger and it makes me want to build a time machine, I’d love to live in my hometown before the advent of technology took everything over
Lived just north on Turquoise Street from 1981. Remember the green house Spice Rack, the a frame chalet Esperanto, loved living near the beach.
Born and raised,I left because it got ruined.It was heaven in the 60's-70's.
THE BEST TIME of my life. So much fun. Living there in the 80s will forever be etched in my mind 🤙🏽🤙🏽
So sad I miss the old SD
When it was nice …..now it’s third world
hahaha. it's the farthest thing from 3rd world. It's 70 & sunny everyday. sucks to be where you are, huh
Those were the days!
Moved to San Diego in 1989. Lived there for 7 years. Great memories
Me from 97 -2000 miss it so much
Oh my, those were the days
Houses were $20,000 and minimum wage was $5 lol
No
Great times in the 70's -80's Now it is a shit hole with to many rules to follow Can't even watch the sunset having a beer sitting on the seawall
The shot of the roller skater near the roller coaster nearly included "Big Olaf", arguably the first place to serve waffle cone ice cream.
RIGHT!!!
Attended USD, lived in SD from summer of 77 to 85! All those memories I shared with all those comments and moments! Never wil forget the best time in southern California! Mr Ds, Hamels, OTL, hydros, Dell mar fair, races, chargers, clippers, padres, concerts dead,marley, who, stones ,queen srvaughn....... aaaaaa! Peace and Aloha from Hawaii
I was in MB that summer.
Wish I was there and then.
I miss those days…wasn’t so crowded….I left in 2004 for Lake Havasu City, but it’s getting crowded over here now…RIP Larry Himmel, Captain MIke…
I would like to add Lauren nancarrow as well.
I remember a friend of mine and myself visiting Mission Beach in the summer of 1978. It was a really nice place.
Too short! I could have watched another hour of this.
I grew up in Malibu. California was THE place to be in the 70's. I remember 1980 in particular. I would have been 14. My buddy Pedro took me to Mexicali on a Saturday. We go 2 juvenile hookers, a pound of weed and ice cream. It didn't cost 10.00. those were the days.
Too bad it didn't stay that way, all woke now!
spoken by someone who is jealous that he's not still there
Democrats have pissed it all away. Pity. Was a paradise.
When the Democrats took over the city, all hell broke out!! First gay mayor!! That was the first sign we were in trouble!!!
Gr8 times there in So Mission Beach then with Calvin and many friends. I don't know how I ever got my Degree from SDSU. STILL on skates - blades now! XOXO
739 San Luis Rey Place AND Ocean Front Walk.
Where's my jazz flute?
no dockless electric scooters littered everywhere and hipsters using them and ramming into people. Life was good then.
life is still good now....we just got older
The bay infrastructure is better now. dredging and path. Alo the widened ocean front walk
i miss the old days and i was born in 03
The good old days
I miss those days.
Those were the best days. Miss the old CA.

Heck yeah! I lost my mom's car in MB back in 78 and a decade later I worked at the Coaster Saloon until I set the kitchen on fire. It wasn't my fault!
Yes it was!
we all know it was your fault
Small world Mark ... I worked there in the kitchen for a month too in the 80's
I loved the burgers at the Coaster Saloon 👍
And the be ribs. 10 coasters ten dollars. I still have a few.
I was a Clairemonster in 78, but moved to Chalcedony in PB in October. Partied plenty in Mission Beach.
I remember early 80s as a kid the adults drinking on the beach Boardwalk no fights, no gangs, mellow and laid-back, some music too.
Excellent 1978 our town Mission Beach video!!
Sun, sand, AND YES, even sunTAN lotion! But mostly, justl...SAND-IEGO!!!!!!!!
Love MB! 😸
yes indeed, San Diego! My how ⏱️-🕊️'s...2024-🌊..🐬..🏖️..🌄....
it was paradise in 70s for az folks to escape heat for a couple days. i am sure locals didn't love us, but it was needed to survive 118 degrees. i managed to snag one pair of op's everytime we went. lol. pacific sands hotel....miss it. simpler times...
I spent a great deal of time at Mission Beach in the late 70's and 80's. Lots of good memories. Glad I don't live in Cali now tho!!
when you're in your 20s and early 30s, you want to live in SoCal. When you get older & you're trying to balance your family's money, it's hard to live in Cali
Lol the only reason I wouldn't want to live in Socal now is for very obvious reasons. If it were still like this and mostly American ? Heck yes !
Doesn’t look like that anymore
Where's Jeffrey Dahmer? 😂
The only thing that looks like it has changed is the quality of video!
I had so much fun at mission beach over the years! Lived in San Diego for 44 years I miss it. But not now! It had to calm down a little before I go back!!
Shit look dirty fr 🤟🏾💀
