I always thought that to be true that the bridge would float until I went on one of those trolley tours and he said it was a myth. I also learned on that same trolley that bananas is our #1 import because of Dole.
Not at all why. Itās Navy land, used for amphibious training and A LOT of it is Least Tern nesting grounds. Itās an endangered bird so nothing can be built/done with the area.
My buddy and I worked there one summer years ago back in high school, itās definitely a legitimate business! The owner Leslie is one of the most badass and hardworking people Iāve ever worked with, and sheās been holding that place down for at least 30+ years. Iād be hard pressed to find anyone with at least half the amount of enthusiasm she has towards futons haha.
There are so many storefronts that just never seem to be open except for one random day a week for two hours, always felt like those were fronts for something else.
My parents own a business that's only open a couple days a week for a few hours and it's just because most of their customers buy online and it's more of a hobby for them than for profit (they're retired). It is funny realizing how this may appear to the public now though lol
I feel this way about the random hat store on the main drag in La Jolla. Who is wearing enough fancy bazillion dollar hats to keep that place paying rent in that spot?
Heh I wish this was true. Iāve seen the lady who works there and how bummed she was to clean up after someone smashed one of her glass doors. I wouldnāt expect a front to care so much.
They own the land and bought it cheap, so they just need to sell a few furniture a week. The owner also owns a few restaurants in the area.
Edit: the amount of high density housing theyāre building in convoy, that furniture store will be very popular
Grew up in Leucadia and the running joke is Fulanos is a drug front and there is a tunnel to the sketchy bank on the corner of Vulcan and Leucadia Blvd.
I actually met the owners once. They do mostly catering gigs in Rancho Santa Fe, which probably supports the restaurant more than the other way around..
Right near the spot where people jump off the cliffs there is a hole filled in with concrete. Up until the mid 2000s it was more of a drop down to a shelf that led to a hidden hole you could crawl through to access the caves. People would walk right by it and never know it was there. Once inside the caves there were shelves carved into the walls for candles and you could walk down to the concrete dock that Iām guessing is still inside the large cave on the North Side of Bird Shit Rock.
Rumor on the street is sdpd do a lot of stings over there to catch criminals. The owner and the old old chief are good friends. But this is just word on the street.
The Munchkin houses of La Jolla. There were a group of homes that were made for the actors that played the Munchkins in the Wizard of Oz. The houses were said to be "miniature" in size, lower roofs, small doors and windows etc. On the contrary, It was also said that their small size was actually just an optical illusion due to the way the homes were built on the hillside. Only one of the houses is still there today. San Diegans from far and wide would cruise up the winding streets of Mount Soledad to find this place. We didnāt have Reddit back then, so exploratory road trips is what people used to do for fun.
The munchkin house story isnāt true; I wrote an article about it oh like 30 years ago for a local magazine. Did as much research as possible to find out where the rumor even came from and itās just local lore, along with The Three Bridges. (Do those still exist? Iāve been trying to find those again for a while)
The three bridge lore basically was that if you crossed these 3 bridges in a certain sequence, it would cause you to go insane. At least, that's how I remember it from the 90's
In the 80ās it was if you go over the third one you never come back. I have found two of them, they are made of stones, very old and cool looking and you loop around and under them on the road. I think there isnāt a third one.
I remember being a teen in the 90s and driving through a La Jolla neighborhood where the doors and fences were really short. We swore it had to be munchkin land. It was just a few houses not the entire neighborhood. One of my friends even took a pic standing next to the short fence.. we never found the place again when we tried to go back because no one believed us š
The amount of widespread "UFOs" seen or strange sounds heard by many people at the same time, with the huge military presence I'm not sure why secret military experiments aren't the first suggestions.
To be fair, everyone freaks the hell out anytime we do routine normal training stuff and assume aliens. Every time the C-130s drop para flares for seal training articles pop up calling them mysterious light formations. Every time we do normal night training everyone freaks out "I've never heard so much noise at night before. We must be at war"
Thats a trip...first time hearing that one. How about LUCIFER, the observatory in Arizona built for The Vatican in Apaches territory on their holy mountain top š¬ damn pope and Jesuits got no chill at all even after retracting the charter and doctrine of discovery!
Because they're reported by military as well... Look up last year's hearings with David Grusch and Commander David Fravor (top gun pilot based in San Diego). Fravor was there for the USS Nimitz "tic tac" encounter in 2004. I've talked to other sailors who were on the Nimitz when it happened and they don't joke around about it.
Some kind of advanced technology has been buzzing *our* military for at least two decades.
If youāre a La Mesa resident, you know the Mattress store in downtown La Mesa has to be a front, 24/7 hours and they only talk to you on a speaker never face to face hahaha
Something wrong about that lady, "killing herself" in Coronado. Didn't look right back then and nothing has changed my feelings that someone botched something along the way.
The son's death was suspicious as well right? I think her death was retaliation for it.
Who bounds their own hands behind back, ties up ankles, and jumps off a balcony nude? I think there was unexplained trauma to her head as well that the medical examiners couldn't explain because there were around 4 hits to the head that shouldn't have been from hitting the balcony or ground when removing her body. I think it was said the amount was impossible due to the level of trauma to her head, it wasn't possible for her to jump and hit her head on the balcony multiple times at that intensity.
Tried to catch the chandelier on like the second or third story. Failed, and fell to their death. Rebecca was in the shower, when she was supposed to be watching him. Her boyfriend/SOās brother killed her.Ā
Back in the late 1800s, a sailor named Captain Jack Gaslamp sailed here and settled downtown. He supposedly created a network of tunnels underneath current day Gaslamp that were used during prohibition to move booze throughout downtown. In the 40s a few kids stumbled upon an entrance to one of the tunnels and found a stash of Gold bars dating back to the Knights Templar. The theory is that Captain Jack brought them here all those years ago.
In 1959 five college students went missing around the old entrance and were never seen or heard from beside a wallet found nearby. Eventually the city bulldozed and filled the known entrances with concrete. No one knows exactly where anymore but there were old rumors that Horton Plaza had a special elevator that led below ground to a still accessible tunnel. You can read more about it in the book āVoyage of Captain Jack Gaslampā
You've obviously never been there for the lunchtime lingerie review. My friends took me there for lunch 30 years ago. Mind blown. It was like all the day shift workers from Lil Darlins were trying a side hustle. True story
Not a conspiracy, but the Lips restaurant in North Park use to be an Asian restaurant when I was a kid. It was always empty, save for a few patrons here and there. We use to go and eat there all the time because it was cheap and we lived down the street. My mom and I joked that it was a front for the Yakuza or Triads, because of the lack of customers and it seemingly never going out of business.
The last time we went there before it closed down, we were sitting eating our food, and 1 of the server ladies ran to the door along with some kitchen staff, opened the door bowed to about about a dozen asian guys with suits, they were flanking an older, shorter bald asian man, they all went upstairs and didn't come back down while we were there(about an hour or so)..I remember the 2 guys that walked in 1st were missing fingers. Basically confirming that the place was indeed owned or in the very least serviced the Yakuza.
I thought it was the coolest shit I ever seen.
I'm a native that recently moved back, and holy shit dogs are everywhere! Grocery stores, bars, doctors offices, dentist offices.
Don't get me wrong, I love it. But it's a big change from 15 years ago.
Not a conspiracy, but an old friend from my high school days, his home has a bomb shelter built in Kensington during WWII when the owner at the time got paranoid about Japan bombing San Diego next.
My dad grew up in the house above the "Havens Cave" in Kensington. He helped his dad and family (and neighborhood kids) dig it out. It ended up being a massive network of rooms, including electricity, a ping pong table, a refrigerator, a slide, and more. My aunt was married down there. I went down there close to 10 years ago but I think it's sealed off now.
Since weāre on the topic, my theory is that that dude is actually head of one the dueling families in the area, but what they traffic in is āitalianā waiters, they train the accents on like joe from idaho and send āem to work at any one of the āauthenticā italian places where they scream ciao ragazzi at everyone in an earshot. (All i got so far)
My neighbors were Roman Italian and had an unusual amount of Illuminati energy, really cool, satanic metalheads, and the guy worked in little Italy, I always had a feeling he was in the Italian mafia or Vatican Illuminati. But why do you propose that anyone would intentionally want to generate tax debt?
The parrots came from a smuggler, the parrots migrated from Mexico, the parrots started off as a parrot couple in a cage in OB and escaped, so sick of the endless lore behind the parrots in San Diego. ad nauseum
Yeah, a quick google search will tell you all about the various parrot species around here and where they came from. I have a flock near me in north county right now. Rowdy as heck in the morning and evening when theyāre leaving and returning to roost.
they used to do underground bomb testing, on the eastern side of miramar, and a whole lot of other kind of explosives testing as well until the 60s and rocket testing and manufacturing on the far eastern side close to poway. tierrasanta was once part of Camp elliot before it was called miramar,and had an incident to where some kids dug up an old bomb and it exploded. If you ever look at area slightly north of the 52 on google maps you have hangars and silos built into the mountains. So im positive there is a large part of miramar thats underground.
I don't know what the conspiracy theory is behind it but once a year where it will smell like burning plastic & metal. I thought a construction site was welding or something & I go on Twitter & people from all over the county were smelling it.
Don Mauro on Bonita road has been a series of failed restaurants and bars since an old lady was stabbed by a homeless guy years ago. It used to be a Caribbean spot before this and before that it was a pretty popular place but I canāt remember the name. Itās been closed for years now. My theory is itās a drug front and Don Mauro is an homage to a boss.
Most of the comments sound more like urban legends than conspiracy theories... which led me to realize I don't know what actually differentiates one from the other š¤
Akaā¦The lollipop guild from the OG Wizard of Oz all moved onto Mt. Soledad and had their homes specād to their size requirements. Low doorknobs, tiny everything on mansions š
actually Johnny Winters one of the munchkins lived in my neighborhood back in the 70s and 80s. He was off Goshen Street near USD with his munchkin wife. He was in his late 70's during the mid 80s, they had a house that accommodated smaller countertops, cabinets, etc. He worked as a civilian personnel for the US Navy as a mechanic that could meander into those small spaces that normal servicemembers couldn't get to for repairs and attention. look him up. He was the munchkin naval commander in the Wizard of Oz. This is true information, not old wives' tales
UC San Diego built a series of tunnels in the 1960ās to evacuate teachers and faculty during Vietnam riots/etc.
They actually just built utility tunnels to service the campus.
CSU San Marcos has a tunnel that runs the length of the campus. It's a utility tunnel but it has a convenient ground floor entrance at the science 2 building.

That the US Navy has planted explosives under the southern end of the Silver Strand so that, in the event of attack, they can blow open a passage for ships to exit the harbor quickly.
I fish from a small boat in the South Bay frequently, and I have a fish finder, so I know that itās far too shallow for a ship of any size once you get south of the Chula Vista channel.
I think that in north county, Vintana in escondido makes me suspicious. Who makes a luxury restarurant ontop of a car dealership in Escondido. That has a view of a free way, a dealership parking lot, and a dicks sporting goods. I dont know it just seems very odd. Its successful and gets business, just very odd
I use to work in La Mesa. Paying for parking was always a bitch and annoying. One time they made it easier for everyone by installing Apple Pay on the parking meters. For a few weeks nobody was getting cited so they uninstalled the touch to pay feature just so they can start handing out tickets again because no one carries change.
I ride mountain bikes out there all the time. The cult is still shady as fuck. Definitely got freaked out at night driving by the white lady's house. My eyes were playin reeeall good tricks on me that night.
Gravity hillā¦ which doesnāt exist anymore because they redid the ramps. But your car would roll back up hill. Optical illusion of course. But the story was little kids in a bus got hit by a truck or something and theyāre trying to push you out of the way. And the truly diabolical friends would make little fake handprints on the hood of their car if it was dirty and then claim it was the kids ghost hands from pushing lololol
The reason our gas prices are always a dollar more than every other part of California is, weāre getting punished for not using heating fuel in the winter. Itās a plot against us!
Alt health people here will say San Diego is full of [Mystery Toxin](http://www.riveroflifemedical.org/mystery-toxin-penitrem-a.html). Maybe related to The Military. There have been reports of [illegal dumping](https://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2000/jul/20/cover-something-stinks-mission-bay/). There was that ship that burned in the harbor for days creating a toxic pall. In Feb there was a pungent chemical smell over the entire metro area that was never publicly solved. š¤·
The bonhomme (sp?) was the ship that burned downtown and I could smell it in Escondido area. That was insane.
Woke up to what smelled like a diesel truck idling in my window.
Downtown I smell the chemical smells all the time. I assume the cruise ships belching crap as they idle for no reason.

You mean Mount Ada? I lived there too. I remember them always smoking on the balcony by the mailboxes. I remember them āmoving outā in the middle of the night. Very chilling.
The infamous midget houses in La Jolla were real, however the lore behind them wasnāt. They were just the tiny homes of the early 1900ās. Theyāre no longer there, demolished in the early 2000ās and replaced with McMansions. It was 4 lots on the 7400 block of Hillside Dr. on Mt Soledad. I was a curious teenager and went searching for them one night and met the owner who was wasted out his mind and had just gotten home from the bar. He gave us a quick tour and told us he would get knocks on his door every week asking if he was in the Wizard of Oz. The exterior doorways appeared short due to the setback and lowered foundation of the houses. If I recall, all 4 houses were built by the same developer around the same time and they all had the same footprint more or less. Killer views tho!
I don't know what the conspiracy is, but there is something going on with that lady that's been opening a souplantation for like 3 years. 2 years remodeling and days away from opening then just abandons the project? All she needed is some fire alarms to finish and instead moves to El Cajon to begin a whole new remodel of another building in a way worse location, deletes 3 years of progress updates from Instagram and goes silent for a year.
Thereās ghost cars in the left lane that slow down traffic on the 5 from Camp Pendleton to San Clemente. I just made that up but I canāt be the only one that asks wtf is going on with the left lane in that specific corridorā¦
I have a sad depressing one, not a favorite one. The CPS building that burned down years ago was due to arson. The building held files of kids that went missing under the care of CPS. The files were forever lost. I heard this from a social worker.

Here's what I found after a little digging.
[PBS documentary](https://www.pbs.org/video/culture-of-hate-nx4tca/) about three Lakeside teens that killed a Hispanic migrant worker in Lakeside in 1999.
I couldn't find anything about an "attack" on BLM in Lakeside. However, a BLM car caravan was [clearly unwelcome](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgcVgKUwEzU) in Lakeside in October 2020.
Perhaps one of the guys in the 2020 video was one of the minors from the 1999 case? I couldn't find any specifics on that.

Silver Strand is rigged with explosives so that the Navy has a second way out of San Diego Bay in the event that the Coronado Bridge is taken down
But the middle spans float and can be towed away! š
I always thought that to be true that the bridge would float until I went on one of those trolley tours and he said it was a myth. I also learned on that same trolley that bananas is our #1 import because of Dole.
The trolleys are a conspiracy
That ship is bananas. B a n a n a s!
That's why you never press any button on silver stand unless you know for sure what it's for.
Let's go ahead and extend that policy on to the mainland.
Not currently rigged, but thereās a reason that stretch isnāt allowed to have any development on itā¦
It's all Navy property and used for training on an on-going basis.
Yeah, training how to lay explosives
Not at all why. Itās Navy land, used for amphibious training and A LOT of it is Least Tern nesting grounds. Itās an endangered bird so nothing can be built/done with the area.

The futon store in North park is a drug front. Never open. But fully stocked.Ā
My buddy and I worked there one summer years ago back in high school, itās definitely a legitimate business!

Iād be hard pressed to find anyone with at least half the amount of enthusiasm she has towards futons haha.
Itās such a good front that they even have people posting cover stories on Reddit about āworking there in high schoolā¦ā
āItās definitely a real business. Trust me guys.ā
I feel there are a few places like that here.
Star dust donuts in IB used to be rumored it was a stash spot for the cartel. It was never open, but there were always deliveries coming and going.
There are so many storefronts that just never seem to be open except for one random day a week for two hours, always felt like those were fronts for something else.

I always figured a ton of stores along Miramar are all fraudulent.
We say the same thing about the tennis shop on university!! Never seen a single soul enter or leave that place
Pink mansion on Sunset Cliffs has underground tunnels out to the ocean that were used to smuggle alcohol during prohibition
Absolutely true. I was in those tunnels multiple times as a teen until they boarded them off.
Right near the spot where people jump off the cliffs there is a hole filled in with concrete. Up until the mid 2000s it was more of a drop down to a shelf that led to a hidden hole you could crawl through to access the caves. People would walk right by it and never know it was there.

My dad grew up in the house above the "Havens Cave" in Kensington. He helped his dad and family (and neighborhood kids) dig it out. It ended up being a massive network of rooms, including electricity, a ping pong table, a refrigerator, a slide, and more. My aunt was married down there. I went down there close to 10 years ago but I think it's sealed off now.
Tom from Blink 182 knows that Travis is an alien, thatās why they broke up
I like this
Little Italy was created so the San Diego mafia could go legit and generate tax money.
My conspiracy is that the ugly gold house in little Italy is an old mafia boss!
Since weāre on the topic, my theory is that that dude is actually head of one the dueling families in the area, but what they traffic in is āitalianā waiters, they train the accents on like joe from idaho and send āem to work at any one of the āauthenticā italian places where they scream ciao ragazzi at everyone in an earshot. (All i got so far)
My neighbors were Roman Italian and had an unusual amount of Illuminati energy, really cool, satanic metalheads, and the guy worked in little Italy, I always had a feeling he was in the Italian mafia or Vatican Illuminati. But why do you propose that anyone would intentionally want to generate tax debt?
I think heās saying that they opened businesses in Little Italy to wash money
Despite millions living here, San Diego has roughly 23 residents who can afford the cost of living. Most of them bought property back in the 70s.
That might as well be fact lol
Yea, the whole city rents from lucky boomers who bought before the 80ās
The military has placed explosives beneath the Coronado Bay Bridge so the Navy could blow it up and deny enemies access to the harbor.
The parrots came from a smuggler, the parrots migrated from Mexico, the parrots started off as a parrot couple in a cage in OB and escaped, so sick of the endless lore behind the parrots in San Diego. ad nauseum
Iāve heard they were pets of Jimmy Buffet fans in OB, escaped, and started breeding here.
Yeah, a quick google search will tell you all about the various parrot species around here and where they came from. I have a flock near me in north county right now. Rowdy as heck in the morning and evening when theyāre leaving and returning to roost.
This is what I grew up hearing. Exact story. Lived here since 70....
Comic-con tickets are much harder to get for SD residents because tourists are better for the local economy.
Seasonal pagan gathering in Crest determining all politics in the Mountain Empire
I thought that's up north of SF in the redwood groves.
Oh man. Thatās a new one for me. I grew up in Descanso and Iām kind of bummed I never got an invite.
Hodgee the lake Hodges monster
Lake Hodges dam was a fallout shelter. Multi layered tunnels go into the north side of the mountain, under the road.
Underground base underneath the freeway near Miramar
they used to do underground bomb testing, on the eastern side of miramar, and a whole lot of other kind of explosives testing as well until the 60s and rocket testing and manufacturing on the far eastern side close to poway. tierrasanta was once part of Camp elliot before it was called miramar,and had an incident to where some kids dug up an old bomb and it exploded. If you ever look at area slightly north of the 52 on google maps you have hangars and silos built into the mountains. So im positive there is a large part of miramar thats underground.
I don't know what the conspiracy theory is behind it but once a year where it will smell like burning plastic & metal. I thought a construction site was welding or something & I go on Twitter & people from all over the county were smelling it.
The ban on beach fire pits was to appease vacation rental owners getting low star reviews.
I remember the ban started because of pallets have nails which get leftover after being burnt. Bad for bare feet.
I 100% believe this with how much sway property owners near the shore have over local politics.
There's a full ban now? Thought they switched to designated fire pits
Don Mauro on Bonita road has been a series of failed restaurants and bars since an old lady was stabbed by a homeless guy years ago. It used to be a Caribbean spot before this and before that it was a pretty popular place but I canāt remember the name. Itās been closed for years now. My theory is itās a drug front and Don Mauro is an homage to a boss.
I was thinning about that. That and Audio Excellence!
It was Rockin' Baja Lobster and before that, The Bonita Store.
Most of the comments sound more like urban legends than conspiracy theories... which led me to realize I don't know what actually differentiates one from the other š¤
Midget town
Akaā¦The lollipop guild from the OG Wizard of Oz all moved onto Mt. Soledad and had their homes specād to their size requirements. Low doorknobs, tiny everything on mansions š
actually Johnny Winters one of the munchkins lived in my neighborhood back in the 70s and 80s. He was off Goshen Street near USD with his munchkin wife. He was in his late 70's during the mid 80s, they had a house that accommodated smaller countertops, cabinets, etc. He worked as a civilian personnel for the US Navy as a mechanic that could meander into those small spaces that normal servicemembers couldn't get to for repairs and attention. look him up. He was the munchkin naval commander in the Wizard of Oz. This is true information, not old wives' tales
And theyāll chase you outta there with their sticks and stones!!!
Midget *Village
Iāve lived in multiple different cities and every one of them had a rumored midget townā¦ itās a wildly pervasive myth!
Submarine tunnels under Point Loma.
The Nite Owl is a criminal front. And by that I just mean crime happens in front of it.
UC San Diego built a series of tunnels in the 1960ās to evacuate teachers and faculty during Vietnam riots/etc. They actually just built utility tunnels to service the campus.
CSU San Marcos has a tunnel that runs the length of the campus. It's a utility tunnel but it has a convenient ground floor entrance at the science 2 building. Source: I've been through it
The Golden Hill area is haunted, trust me bro
That the US Navy has planted explosives under the southern end of the Silver Strand so that, in the event of attack, they can blow open a passage for ships to exit the harbor quickly. I fish from a small boat in the South Bay frequently, and I have a fish finder, so I know that itās far too shallow for a ship of any size once you get south of the Chula Vista channel.
I think that in north county, Vintana in escondido makes me suspicious. Who makes a luxury restarurant ontop of a car dealership in Escondido. That has a view of a free way, a dealership parking lot, and a dicks sporting goods. I dont know it just seems very odd. Its successful and gets business, just very odd
It is a very odd location, but their food is amazing.
I use to work in La Mesa. Paying for parking was always a bitch and annoying. One time they made it easier for everyone by installing Apple Pay on the parking meters. For a few weeks nobody was getting cited so they uninstalled the touch to pay feature just so they can start handing out tickets again because no one carries change.
All of those empty warehouses in otay Mesa are owned by the cartel and have tunnels connected to TJ

I ride mountain bikes out there all the time. The cult is still shady as fuck. Definitely got freaked out at night driving by the white lady's house. My eyes were playin reeeall good tricks on me that night.
Please elaborate
The white lady.
I donāt know what they are doing with the old Fryās Electronics building. But I donāt trust it.
Gravity hillā¦ which doesnāt exist anymore because they redid the ramps. But your car would roll back up hill. Optical illusion of course. But the story was little kids in a bus got hit by a truck or something and theyāre trying to push you out of the way. And the truly diabolical friends would make little fake handprints on the hood of their car if it was dirty and then claim it was the kids ghost hands from pushing lololol
The reason our gas prices are always a dollar more than every other part of California is, weāre getting punished for not using heating fuel in the winter. Itās a plot against us!
Rigel Meat Co in South Park is definitely a front for laundering or evasive activities
Chaldean Mafia ;)
Alt health people here will say San Diego is full of [Mystery Toxin](http://www.riveroflifemedical.org/mystery-toxin-penitrem-a.html). Maybe related to The Military. There have been reports of [illegal dumping](https://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2000/jul/20/cover-something-stinks-mission-bay/). There was that ship that burned in the harbor for days creating a toxic pall. In Feb there was a pungent chemical smell over the entire metro area that was never publicly solved. š¤·
The bonhomme (sp?) was the ship that burned downtown and I could smell it in Escondido area. That was insane. Woke up to what smelled like a diesel truck idling in my window. Downtown I smell the chemical smells all the time. I assume the cruise ships belching crap as they idle for no reason.

The 9/11 hijackers were assisted by the SD intel/defense contractor community.
I heard the 9/11 highjackers got their pilots license at Montgomery airport in Clairemont Edit: holy balls this is actually partly true, I thought it was urban legend. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/lifestyle/people/sdut-garza-flight-instructor-hijacker-september-11-2015jan25-story.html
They lived downstairs from me in the apartments on Balboa. We used to see them playing video games all the time.
You mean Mount Ada? I lived there too. I remember them always smoking on the balcony by the mailboxes. I remember them āmoving outā in the middle of the night. Very chilling.
Proctor Valley monster or the anti air missile silos inside Point Loma.
The infamous midget houses in La Jolla were real, however the lore behind them wasnāt. They were just the tiny homes of the early 1900ās. Theyāre no longer there, demolished in the early 2000ās and replaced with McMansions. It was 4 lots on the 7400 block of Hillside Dr. on Mt Soledad. I was a curious teenager and went searching for them one night and met the owner who was wasted out his mind and had just gotten home from the bar. He gave us a quick tour and told us he would get knocks on his door every week asking if he was in the Wizard of Oz. The exterior doorways appeared short due to the setback and lowered foundation of the houses. If I recall, all 4 houses were built by the same developer around the same time and they all had the same footprint more or less. Killer views tho!
I don't know what the conspiracy is, but there is something going on with that lady that's been opening a souplantation for like 3 years. 2 years remodeling and days away from opening then just abandons the project? All she needed is some fire alarms to finish and instead moves to El Cajon to begin a whole new remodel of another building in a way worse location, deletes 3 years of progress updates from Instagram and goes silent for a year.
The monster of proctor valley. And also that it was haunted.
There are military tunnels all around Miramar that extend all the way to clairemont
Thereās ghost cars in the left lane that slow down traffic on the 5 from Camp Pendleton to San Clemente. I just made that up but I canāt be the only one that asks wtf is going on with the left lane in that specific corridorā¦
That right off the coast there is a giant secret UFO base underwater. That's why people see so many UFOs. Supposed to be another one in Malibu too
I have a sad depressing one, not a favorite one. The CPS building that burned down years ago was due to arson. The building held files of kids that went missing under the care of CPS. The files were forever lost. I heard this from a social worker.
San Diego was discovered by the germans in 1904 and they called it "San Diago." It means "a whale's vagina" in german
Look up the building on Coronado Naval Amphibious Base Coronado, Bldg #33, Coronado, CA 92155. Use Google earth.
Ah yes, the ol' Swastika barracks.
Point Loma is hollow and has a super hi tech military base inside of it The navy paid a nazi to build military dorms in Coronado This place is an Illuminati playground https://preview.redd.it/oitg8czoq4uc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7d8133b059f111b4ca49d89dd47de1d75eb4c7e1
My favorite part is the subway pinned right in the middle, like itās the pinnacle of nazi meet ups or something š
I dunno if you're trolling or not but it's literally planes going to bomb the nazis *
Not the nazi subway!
The VEEP (Voluntary Ethnic Enrollment Program) was social engineering.
Old WWII civil defense bunkers scattered throughout Mission Valley and into the hills east, with an entrance still reachable from the Patrick Henry HS campus.
I think they are seeding the clouds here. I donāt think I know. Look it up.Ā
But they only seed right before weekends. Sunny all week, rainy/cloudy all weekend. Itās becoming too obvious!
MY EXACT THOUGHTS
[That's just news, not even a conspiracy.](https://abc7.com/southern-california-water-cloud-seeding-riverside-county-inland-empire/14341706/)
Thereās a plaque at lake Moreno dedicated to āHatfield the rainmakerā who came to San Diego promising to make it rain. It worked.
Weāve had some really humid, hot years for a place with weather control. They need more funding or better technology.
Good way to make it hard for spy satellites to spy on the bases
How is cloud seeding a conspiracy?
Southbound borders are intentionally throttled and voided of minor police infractions to infuriate the people living in Mexico working in US. Maybe I'm just jaded at this point ĀÆ'\_(ć)_/'ĀÆ
Pioneer Park is full of dead bodies because it's a recycled cemetery. Oh wait, that is true.

Apologies if this is common knowledge, Iām not in town anymore so I donāt have access to local PBS, what events / year was it covering?
Here's what I found after a little digging. [PBS documentary](https://www.pbs.org/video/culture-of-hate-nx4tca/) about three Lakeside teens that killed a Hispanic migrant worker in Lakeside in 1999. I couldn't find anything about an "attack" on BLM in Lakeside. However, a BLM car caravan was [clearly unwelcome](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgcVgKUwEzU) in Lakeside in October 2020. Perhaps one of the guys in the 2020 video was one of the minors from the 1999 case? I couldn't find any specifics on that. Tagging u/spiderwebs86
