This is such a blast from the past. Thanks for posting. I used to run around downtown back in the early 80’s Although I moved away in 99, I still miss San Diego every day.
Horton built his 2nd home on 1st. Between Fir and Grape. He built his mother- in- law a house on the property right on the corner of 1st and Fir. Big two story. My Grandparents lived there. All torn down mid 60s 😢
25:42 the building on the right was sold in a no bid secret auction to the former SD mayor, Maureen O'Conner's sister... The city had to settle with the store owner that was bellow the hotel (ferris and ferris) for a substantial amount. They moved him accross the street, next to Cincos, which he co-own and the new store was sandwitched between Cincos and the pizza place that he also owned! He would have paid 4 times as much for the building that he had one of his businesses in, and the city, in addition to leasing him the new space and subsidizing his rent paid him $1M to settle! That was in 1991! He built another restaurant in half of the space given to him for the store and sold all 4 businesses in early 2000s and moved back home to Dearborn! The building on the left used to be a bank, then opened up as Injun Joe, but the name was changed to Buffalo Joe's since Injun was a slur! Thanks for posting! The KFMB reporters from back then were like family!
What a blast from the past!! Lived here all my life, used to see the Bruce Lee movies at the Balboa, james Bond movies at the California theaters, Walt Disney movies at the Fox theaters, those were the days.
I've had someone interested in being my closest friend before and she wants to roommate and everything else was more than that I haven't found a lady to beat me yet but I'm sure she'd be perfectly well San Diego somewhere why is there cuz I'm in New York one thing I love about my San Diego today Allstate baby born CenturyLink Police station museum woman of my life to be coming back like you so pretty and I want to be with her she was with me it's so secure Henry Harrison place to go it would be really together Papa Bear call Dad Faith grandparents are you doing Ronnie hahaha it says that social security Blake Shelton radio what's that a radio station on Media group tailgating Walgreens if I was thinking about wrong
13:00 I loved Horton Plaza. It was a great shopping center with fun walkways and many different levels. Now in 2023 that area has returned to a homeless blight - even worse than it was in this footage from the late seventies.
2:11 Red Light district, where men could find women of questionable character. Let’s be honest. They should just say men of questionable character. The John is the terrible morally corrupt person who’ll likely is broadcasting their own virtues in church on Sunday. Not the seller.

So sad to see it now,spent lots of time downtown in the 60's-70's.
Great to hear the history.
The women were of questionable character? But, the men frequenting them didn't get a word? Hmmm.
