San Diego Bay is a vibrant place, full of attractions for tourists, locals, and food lovers alike. As an amateur photographer, I’m always looking to capture positive and meaningful experiences. On this particular day, I was biking through downtown to check out the impressive Coast Guard ship. (I actually considered joining the Coast Guard Auxiliary as a volunteer, but since I travel so often, I felt it wouldn’t be fair to accept training without being able to fully commit. It would’ve been a cool experience—but instead, I ended up joining the fire service, where there’s an even greater need.)
Anyway, you might enjoy a manuscript I came across on the history of San Diego Bay—really fascinating stuff! It got me thinking about how towns tend to develop along similar paths, even when their industries differ (
i.e. the study of Economics, History and Sociology). That reflection naturally led me to think about my own hometown of Escanaba and how its growth could be shaped by learning from places like San Diego. (
I did expand an economic theory based on the fishing industry and I have a book coming out soon. I doubt many will read it or buy it but keep checking back.) Anyway, take a look at

P.S. I love the photo of the rowing club alongside the larger boats. Rowing is something I really enjoy when I can find the time. I’ve got a few things on my plate right now, but I’m seriously considering rejoining the local rowing club.
P.P.S. The Star of India is still docked here—it’s been in San Diego since 1941. Originally built in 1863, it’s an iron-hulled sailing ship and a real piece of history.
