The building you referenced on 5th, "could be tall" was foreclosed on over a year ago. Notice all the steel is rusted.

Oh wow, you're right. I wonder what they will do with that lot.

I love Harbor Club. I just wish they would light them up again. I remember one was lit pink and the other white but this was ages ago.

It was purchased by another organization, can't remember who. My personal belief is that this lot will probably sit like this for another 2-3 years until the economy starts to bounce back fully.

Thank you for the pictures. SD has a very underrated skyline. Even though the 500 foot tall limit kills any sort of height, it's very clean and modern.

Very nice pics. SD looks nice...

Bad ass skyline angle

I just noticed how nice the skyline looks from here. We need someone to go get a shot where the palm tree isn't blocking the Southern End of the skyline though. I think this is actually one of the better angles of the city. It looks dense and also has some peaks and valleys --- :cheers:

Damn palm tree :(

Pic posted from Sd Urban's thread -- San Diego a go go

Looks like Loma Portal area.

damn that's nice with the mountains in the background

I love that view in the winter time when the mountains have snow and it's 68 down here. :D

2-City Plan For New Chargers Stadium In Discussion

SAN DIEGO -- The effort to keep the San Diego Chargers in the San Diego area might depend on two cities teaming up, 10News' Michael Chen reported.

Sources informed Chen that the cities of Oceanside and Escondido are discussing a partnership that would solve some of the biggest hurdles -- finding enough space for both a new stadium and a mixed-used development that could help the team fund the stadium.

The proposed plan would have one city host the stadium while the other city would build the mixed-use development to aid in the funding.

Sources told Chen that in exchange, one city would receive revenues from the other and the team.

Oceanside's Centre City Golf Course will be revived by the city council, sources told Chen, as a possible stadium site after it is placed on the agenda for an October session.

The Chargers will take a look at Escondido and the 17-acre site of its swap meet.

Next week, the team will begin meeting with developers to discuss specific details in order to see if the plan is doable.

Mark Fabiani, Special Counsel for the Chargers, said, "It sounds promising. While it is an advantage for the projects to be connected, it is possible to divide it. The key will be generating the needed revenue to privately finance a stadium."

I really hope this is something besides one of the random ideas that get thrown around for a new stadium every month. We'll have to wait and see how this one plays out.

On the other hand...the City of Industry just cleared another hurdle...

Just wondering if anyone knows what the project that is under construction in Cortez Hill is. It's located just North of Aria. Looks like a small project. Anyone?
