San Diego

San Diego is a city on the southern tip of California, adjacent to the Mexican city of Tijuana. This place SUUUUUUCKS.

Inventions

San Diego is well known for it's creation of the Comic Con. Twitchcon is also hosted in San Diego, but that's more of a negative than anything else.

Military

San Diego has a large military presence, with approximately 10% of all residents working in the military. Aircraft carriers are often stationed in San Diego, as well as submarines, warships, and airplanes. This place SUUUUUUCKS.

History

San Diego was named after the Franciscan mission the city was dedicated to, which in turn was named after Spanish Catholic Saint Didacus of Alcalá, who was one of the first missionaries to make it to the Canary Islands. These people were extremely evil, but that is a given because they are missionaries. But more importantly, it was named after the studio that created Go, Diego, Go!, despite being far away from the Peruvian Amazon. I mean, who would expect a tapir in California?

Transport

The San Diego Metropolitan Transit System, or MTS for short, is the city's public transit agency. It is well known for its red-feathered vehicles, similar to a male northern cardinal. The MTS operates regular bus services, "Rapid" BRT, and of course, the San Diego Trolley, which is, in fact, a light rail transit network. Nevertheless, the Trolley remains one of the most iconic urban rail systems in the United States.

The North County Transit District's COASTER is a diesel-powered double-decker commuter rail service connecting downtown San Diego with Oceanside. A typical train consists of a Siemens SC-44 and a rake of Bombardier BiLevel Coaches. At Oceanside, connections can be made with SPRINTER trains (two-car Siemens Desiro diesel multiple units) and Metrolink trains to arch-rival Los Angeles. You can bypass all that and go the quick way to LA on Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner, which can reach speeds of up to 90 mph.

The San Diego International Airport is world renowned for being one of the most challenging airports in the world to land at. This is because it is one of, if not the most busy international single runway airport.
