| Page Views: 11,632 Last Visit to Chula Vista: June, 2006 I Used To Live Here | CHULA VISTA FROM 1952! by lmkluque - last update: Jun 4, 2006 |
I Lived here from 1952 until 1968! Welcome to my Chula Vista page,
Today Chula Vista is the second largest city in the County of San Diego. More than sixty years ago, it was the largest lemon producing area in the country, now the only place lemon trees can be found is in someone's backyard.
Chula Vista is the second city south of San Diego and located half way between San Diego City and Tijuana, Mexico.
The biggest attractions in Chula Vista are, the new Coors Ampitheater, where major named entertainment is offered, an Olympic Training Center, and the new Knott's Soak City USA. a water slide park.
Chula Vista has a small, underdeveloped utility marina which offers two restaurants, one of which isn't open half of the time, several park areas for adults and children, a fishing pier, boat ramps, slips for mooring your boat, a nice RV Park and a shore line on the San Diego Bay suitable for wading, swimming or launching jet skis.
Third Avenue is the main "downtown" street and the hub of the area. Shops, restaurants, an old fashion movie house, library, parks, a recreaction center and the weekly Farmer's Market, held on Wednesdays, is located within a few blocks of each other. On Fifth Avenue and H Street, the Chula Vista Shopping Center offers the best shopping in this city.
You may guess that Chula Vista is not a tourist haven, however, it could be a location to choose for lodging while on vacation in San Diego. The main advantage is that most of the hotel/motels are close to the freeways for easy on and off access and they are priced lower than in San Diego.
I Hope You Enjoy Your Visit,
Linda |
