What Matthew Alice found interesting in San Diego
P.B.’s OGs (original gentry) pronounced the name as it should be, like the jewel, “GARnet.” Because they witnessed the name-change, they recognized that the street was part of a series of gemstones. But during World War II, with the influx of people from the hinterlands, the broader picture was lost and the syllable emphasis gradually shifted. This much we know to be factual; from here on, it’s speculation.
Animal secrets: dog tail-wagging, sick flies, fish eyelids, cat whiskers, and the loss of songbirds
When he’s prowling around in dark places, his whiskers help him determine whether a space is wide enough to crawl through. They’re like curb feelers on Dad’s Olds, but sensitive enough to feel a tiny puff of air. Whiskers act as an extension of a cat’s eyes.

Silver Screens: A Short History of San Diego Cinemas
Recent statistics tell us that fewer people are attending movies now than ever; and correspondingly, Hollywood has been releasing fewer and fewer movies every year. The American film industry is going through a number of chaotic changes for a number of reasons, but one thing is certain: going out to the movies is not as important a part of people’s lives as it once was.
History of San Diego 1930+
The years preceding America’s entry into World War II introduced more neighborhood theaters like the Roxy (1939) in Pacific Beach, the Strand in Ocean Beach, and three in the Logan Heights area: the Coronet (1939) at 1792 Logan, the Metro (later renamed the Corral) at 2175 Logan, and the Victory (1941) at 25th and Imperial. The Victory and Coronet have vanished, the latter razed to make an entrance/exit for I-5, but the Metro’s building is still up.
