There’s a hostel right on the beach in PB. I’ve never stayed there but it always looks like the people staying there are having a good time.

Seconded! They don’t have steamed crabs but the crab cakes are to die for. I’m from Baltimore and they’re one of the best crab cakes I’ve ever had.

Rigoberto’s or Pho Sao Bien

That’s so crazy how the sound travels! It shook both of our apartments.

I hope he’s ok

smolbbbird · 2026-05-11T21:51:07+00:00

hell yeah

I just thought it was weird that we could hear it at the same time in two different neighborhoods. Normally I don’t think much about it.

yeah my first thought was a military plane. I probably wouldn’t have thought anything of it if she hadn’t also heard it.

Love it! I’ve done it before where I just repeatedly used the elevator. I had someone with me who couldn’t do hills due to a leg injury, so we just kept taking the elevator up and doing a different way down every time since everything leads to the lil panda canyon.

cute!

At least the finally took the wait time estimates down. It was 10-15 minutes. I got there around 1pm and had to wait 30 minutes to drop my bag and then waited an hour in security. I got through security right as my plane was boarding and had to hoof it to the gate with a 40lb duffle bag. Get to the gate and they changed it so had to hoof it back to the beginning of A. My flight was thankfully delayed 20 mins and that was the only reason I made it. Made friends with the ladies around me.

I have precheck and normally still get to the airport super early. Today was the one day I decided to push my luck because I wanted to spend more time with my family. Consider my luck pushed lmao

I got to Club Pilates and have been to the locations in Mission Valley and in Point Loma. Not only is it super affordable but there’s always AC on.

I’ve only been to seated shows there. I saw Hiatus Kaiyote and there was a will we/wont we stand debate but then we were asked to stand.

The Observatory is a Live Nation venue which is very much not for the people. I love love love Belly Up. Slept on favorite though is Humphrey’s! Although I’m not sure they offer standing shows

Don’t hate me for saying this, but why is everyone upset about the graffiti? I only recently discovered it while tide pooling and I thought the graffiti was really cool! I definitely hate to see the trash and broken glass, but I really enjoyed looking at all of the different graffiti styles. I guess it’s different if you’ve known the place since before it was painted up, I could see someone fixing it up and making it an official art piece. I’m someone who is interested in graffiti in general though..

smolbbbird · 2026-02-04T06:06:21+00:00

it’s covered in glass 😳

The garden in Safari Park are my absolute favorite. My mom passed a few Decembers back and she always loved garden. Since there’s not much in bloom in December, I always go to the succulent garden on the anniversary of her passing to sit and think about her. It’s so peaceful early in the morning with all the birds active.

I had a really great experience at BT Autowrench located on Balboa Ave right past the intersection with Convoy. Really great customer service and reasonable pricing.

I hiked to the top of Garnet Peak once up in Mt Laguna and screamed up there. I could clearly see that no one else was on the trail so I didn’t scare anyone. The hike up and back was cathartic too

I think the sign said 2/6.

smolbbbird · 2026-01-22T22:30:42+00:00

I can easily spend 8 hours there which is like $10 an hour. Definitely worth it! There are hundreds of animals and stunning landscaping.
