The Central Library has easily become one of my favorite libraries to visit. I don't get down here…read moreoften since I don't live nearby, but every time I do, I make a beeline for the ninth floor. It's an incredible space dedicated to genealogy and history, making it the perfect place to dive into family research. This visit was especially meaningful because I brought family members who were visiting from out of town. As we prepare for an upcoming family reunion while also grieving the recent loss of a loved one, we were able to uncover photographs of family members we had never seen before. It was an emotional and unforgettable experience that made our visit truly special. One of the best features is that the library offers free access to genealogy resources like Ancestry Library Edition and other historical databases that have helped me piece together my family's story. I also recently learned that every Tuesday and Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., volunteer genealogy specialists are available to help the public--for free! I'll definitely be returning during those hours because researching family history often feels like peeling back the layers of an onion. Every discovery leads to another story waiting to be told. The only downside is the parking. The library offers two hours of free covered parking, which sounds generous until you get immersed in research. Time flies when you're digging through historical records, and two hours disappears quickly. If possible, I'd recommend taking the trolley to avoid having to move your car or pay expensive parking fees--especially considering the library is just a short walk from Petco Park. You can also opt to take your car out every 2 hours ans re-park in the garage.... Ijs One thing to keep in mind is that on Padres game days, the library parking garage may close early to accommodate game-day parking. While I understand why they do it, it can be frustrating if you're planning a long research session. Overall, I highly recommend this library. Whether you're researching your family tree, looking for a peaceful place to study, or simply wanting a quiet escape from the city, the ninth floor is an absolute treasure. It's one of San Diego's best-kept secrets, and if you haven't experienced it yet, you're missing out. As always... you can thank me later.

The worker said you'd be refunded on exit if you use the same credit card to exit and the charging was free...that didn't sound right but we thought ok we'll use the same card to exit. WRONG. We were charged $8 to exit the parking lot. Also this location took forever to charge. It's a slower charge, you have to pay to enter. Not worth it all all, drive further for a charge.

I also noticed then that the charging rates changed again making peak charges longer. There are surprisingly only 8 charging stations at this location in Las America's Outlet Mall located in the parking lot area directly across the street from Popeye's, Subway and T Mobile in the area situated between Bank of America and Achiote Restaurant, Nautica Kids, Columbia and Samsonite Stores. It is open 24 hours a day however, after the mall closes, entrance seems to be chained forcing you to drive thru the exit lane to charge. The charging stations are not labeled 1A-1H so if there is a problem with any of the chargers, it would be difficult to communicate & identify the particular station having an issue when being navigated to charge here. 6 of the charging stations are clumped very close together having patrons charge back to back with little space. The other two are separated with one handicap designated space directed across the street from Popeye's by the main Tesla white control box housing where the phone number is located to address issues however, it would be difficult to spot and see in the evening when dark. The number to call for any issues pertaining to these chargers is 1-877-798-3752. I hope they put in more charging stations at this location similar to Friars as time goes on. The rates here are $.27/kWh from 10pm-8am and doubles to $.54 from 8am-10pm. Overall, it's a GREAT place to charge close to US/Mexico Border surrounded by many shops and eateries to entertain you during your chargIng time!

(That's a separate review, though.) When you drive into this location, you feel like you are driving into a private, charming, small town. It is so pretty, with trees everywhere and multiple buildings with things to do, like the diner and golfing. All family-friendly. You can take a leisurely stroll, walk, jog, or takd bike ride down the block, and it feels both pleasant and secure. I absolutely loved the overall vibe of the place. Parking was so easy to find as well; it felt like a beautiful giant park. We had a wait to enter Convertte Diner, so we took a stroll, and my kids had a blast just running around the fields. Highly recommend for anyone who just wants to take a walk or check out any of the establishments.

Changed out of our skates and all of found a place to purchase whatever food we wanted to eat from the Public Market (there's over 20+ restaurants inside of this place!) Sat outdoors. I wanted something similar to SF Golden Gate 6th Ave park area where we can skate around in a small area then skate off if we wanted to. This place was perfect. It was not overly crowded and was chill. I have skated on the boardwalk which is often crowded and with the number of friends I had, it would not have been so ideal. I highly recommend this spot for skating and eating with friends.

The holiday decorations at the mall were pretty, well-lit, and simple. I feel like the simplicity made the decorations standout and gave them more taste.

The popular feature at this mall is the kids choo choo train that drives through the first floor of the mall. It runs about every 20 mins with so many little kid passengers. Overall, I recommend this indoor mall. The parking is not bad, parking is free, and the food court is constantly expanding. The vibe here was good on this visit.

Absolutely Wonderful Anniversary Getaway at the Hotel del Coronado…read more My wife and I recently celebrated our anniversary with a beautiful weekend stay at the iconic Hotel del Coronado in a King Room with an Oceanview Balcony. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel special. The two young ladies who checked us in were an absolute delight. They looked like sisters but are actually best friends, and their genuine warmth and kindness made the start of our stay so memorable. The concierge was equally fantastic, ensuring our bags were delivered quickly and that we were comfortably settled in our room. The property itself is breathtaking...! The meticulously maintained gardens and stunning California coastal location provided the perfect romantic setting. We enjoyed outstanding fine dining experiences at both Nobu del Coronado and Seréa. What truly touched us was returning to our room to find a thoughtful happy anniversary card and a small box of delicious chocolates from the front desk team. It was such a sweet and personal touch. We were genuinely sad to leave and will absolutely be returning. Thank you to the entire team at the Hotel del Coronado for making our anniversary weekend so special!

For the exorbitant rates they charge, the actual quality of the resort and service is appalling. You are paying top-tier, five-star prices for what feels like a glorified, chaotic public park.The hotel offers zero exclusivity. They allow literally anyone off the street to wander onto the property, swarm the oceanfront areas, and clog up the grounds. It is perpetually wall-to-wall crowded regardless of whether you're paying thousands to stay there, making it completely impossible to relax. You will constantly fight for space alongside crowds of day-trippers who aren't even staying at the resort. The "Beach" Is a Biohazard. Don't let the marketing photos fool you--the beach directly on the resort property is an absolute health hazard. Due to ongoing toxic wastewater and raw sewage runoff flowing up from Tijuana, the ocean water is contaminated with bacteria. It is unsafe to swim in, plagued by pollution advisories, and completely unusable. What is the point of paying for a "world-class beach resort" when you can't even touch the water without risking illness?
