Coronado Bay Bridge in San Diego, California (United States)

I can't sleep 'cause what if I dream
Of going back to San Diego?
We bought a one way ticket
So we could go see The Cure
And listen to our favorite songs in the parking lot
And think of every person I ever lost to San Diego

Excerpt from San Diego
song by Blink-182

Coronado Bridge over Coronado Bay in San Diego, California (United States)


Lonely in San Diego, just don't let it get you down.
'Cause I've been there before but I know better now.
Just one last storm before the calm while we're still young.
Yeah we know yeah we understand what needs to be done.

Coronado Bridge over Coronado Bay in San Diego, California (United States)



I never saw the east coast 'til I move to the west
I never saw the moonlight until it shone off your breast
I never saw your heart 'til someone tried to steal, tried to steal it away
I never saw your tears until they rolled down your face.

Bridge over the Mission Bay in San Diego, California (United States)

“The flashing and golden pageant of California,
The sudden and gorgeous drama, the sunny and ample lands,
The long and varied stretch from Puget Sound to Colorado south,
Lands bathed in sweeter, rarer, healthier air, valleys and mountain cliffs.”
“Fresh come to a new world indeed, yet long prepared,
I see the genius of the modern, child of the real and ideal,
Clearing the ground for broad humanity, the true America, heir of the past so grand,
To build a grander future.”

From the poem The song of the Redwood tree, 
Walt Whitman

Coronado Bridge over Coronado Bay in San Diego, California (United States)


"The center span of the Coronado bridge was engineered to float in the event of collapse, allowing Naval ships to push the debris and clear the bay. There are "air pockets in the concrete" so it would break up into buoyant pieces if it collapsed and not block the navy ships in the bay"
