| Really didn't have any reason to come to San Diego but Frontier Airlines having an $18 each way airfare was all I needed to say "Cali-forney is the place I ought to be!" And of course if you're in the S.D., you got to check out Altitude Sky Lounge located atop the 22nd floor of the Marriott Gaslamp District Hotel. |

| I was actually a bit disappointed with the place. There was a good crowd on hand but only two bartenders which made getting drinks too time-consuming. I saw a number of people in line turn around and leave the bar. No DJ up here, at least on a Wednesday night, and 50's was being played in the background. Yes, 50's. |

| But really up here, it's all about the views such as this one of downtown San Diego. |
 |
| Or on the other side, this great view of Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres. On a game night you could definitely view some of it from Altitude. |

| San Diego's "Gaslamp District" is also the restaurant, bar & club district for the city and even on a Wednesday night there were quite a few people milling about. The city's famed dance clubs such as Omnia were not open last night so I didn't see any DJ's anywhere. There were a lot of homeless in the district which was a bit surprising yet I never saw a single police officer anywhere. I bet the area is crazy on weekend nights! Nonetheless, for a Wednesday night, a good time was had by all. |

omg Bob! My friends live RIGHT THERE, same view of the field but I think from the other side.
Yes, lots of homeless, the police just do their best to tolerate it. I stayed there for almost a week in June, July, and August and had the same experience each time.
Thommy: If I was going to be homeless, this would be a good place to live. Great weather year-round & California's generous welfare benefits.
