Chrome, Curves & Coronado: A Day at MotorCars on MainStreet

This past Sunday hundreds of spectators came out despite the overcast clouds and chance of rain to admire the over 200 cars that rolled into downtown Coronado. During MotorCars on Main Street the quiet charm of Coronado’s palm-lined streets gets a turbocharged makeover. The engines hum, the chrome gleams, and Main Street becomes a time machine rolling back to the golden age of automobiles. There was a a DJ spinning hits from the 40s through the 80s with Music Trivia. Various organizations like the San Diego Auto Museum were on hand with information booths.

Art Around the Bay #2 “Handstand”

Coronado Community Center 1845 Strand Way, Coronado, CA 92118

The bronze statue “Handstand” was created in 2010 by actor and artist Daniel Stern. The statue stands 8 feet and features a man in a suit and hat stand on one hand. The sculpture was installed at the Coronado Community Center in 2012. 

The artist Daniel Stern is perhaps best known for his portrayal of the Marvel Urchins as one of the bumbling burglars in the first two title of the Home Alone series.

I moved to San Diego in 2023 and I enjoy taking my dog out on adventures on my days off. I plan on posting new locations and events pretty often. Please bookmark socalexposure.com and stop by occasionally for updates.

Art Around the Bay #1 Grand Caribe

598 Grand Caribe Causeway, Coronado, CA 92118 Hours: 6:00 a.m. – 10:30 p.m.

Grand Caribe Shoreline Park is located south of the roundabout on Grand Caribe Causeway in the Coronado Cays neighborhood. Dogs are allowed on leash at all Port of San Diego parks, however I have encountered many people allowing their dogs off-leash here to swim in south bay. On leash or off leash please continue to clean up after your pet. Far too many dog shit piles left right ON THE TRAIL.  There is limited access to the shoreline. A dirt path winds it way south and around the marina channel for Coronado Cays. Be mindful that a high tide will affect the width of the beach. 

I have observed everything from house finches, Anna’s Hummingbird, Great Egrets to Willets while walking the path.
