[QUOTE="mythusmage, post: 578595, member: 571"] Or Mexican seafood, as sold by the Rubio's chain. Then you have 'Bertos. Robertos, Alibertos, etc. ad naseum. For awhile we were all convinced 'Bertos would take over the city. (Some sort of plot by anti-diarhea medicine manufacturers. In the realm of Mexican food there is the real thing, Taco Bell, and 'Bertos.) Then you've got the blends. Mexican pizza for example. Around here the philosohy seems to be, "We're out of pizza sauce and pepperoni? Let's try it with curry and tuna." Let us continue on the local history. Its not that we don't have a history, it's just that it's younger than European. The locals were not much on recording things before the Spaniards came, and even afterward this was pretty much a backwater. Even today we're known mostly for our zoo. Now add in the "We're not LA" factor. We're proud of the fact we're not LA. We have scenery, they have smog. We have a zoo, they have Hollywood (not much difference there, really). Los Angeles is an east count town plopped down on the west coast, San Diego is a mid-west town that made a wrong turn on the 94. LA has dozens of cultural icons it's proud of. SD has dozens of cultural icons it would much rather not admit to. You did ask about cultural diversity.:) The big difference between the Beast Coast and the Best Coast? Out east they talk about travel distance, on the west we talk about travel time. (Night life in Chula Vista is 6 beers and skittles. Night life in National City has 6 legs and scuttles.:p) [/QUOTE]
