If life gives you salt water, make salt?
La Punta Salt Works
In 1782, a dozen years after the San Diego Mission and
Presidio were founded, Juan Pantoja y Arriaga, a Spanish
cartographer sent by the King of Spain, mapped parts of
California’s coastline. He named the area around an elevated
promontory above the Otay River’s outlet into San
Diego Bay La Punta (“the Point”).
In 1871
the Shaffer Brothers established a salt works plant, with
large dehydrating ponds along the bay shore. A constant in
civilization has been the need for dependable sources of
sodium chloride. A significant portion of the California’s
salt was produced at this location. For 140 years, under
various ownerships and several different names, the salt
works buildings have occupied La Punta land with their
seawater ponds claiming considerable acreage in the bay.
B&W only?
\OK

Life give you salt AND lemons, ask for some shots.
Have you hugged your toilet today?
In Sausalito One Night
While
Draped over the midnight bar
&
Lenny Cohen on the juke for the twentieth time
I was thinking I might need to hurl
&
Jesus the sailor shed a lone tequila tear on me
&
It glanced off my cheek.
It landed on the midnight bar
&
I mopped it with my cocktail napkin
&
The bartender gave me some more quarters
So we could keep on hearing about tea
&
Oranges from China
&
Sinking like a stone.
While I drank more shots
&
My best friend the bartender
Smiled and nodded politely
Jesus the sailor quietly expired.
When I finally noticed
It was last call
&
I might have shed a tear
But honestly don't remember.

CeeVee's only (now defunct) adult club.
Gambling is still permitted right next door. The gamblers hired the former mayor of CV as a lobbyist, right before the FBI raid.
It seems that some money was being washed there. At least the FEDs didn't waste taxpayer money on valet parking.
The indictment charged Souza and Seven Mile with inadequate cash controls to prevent money laundering, a key part of running a cash-centric business like a card club.

I've seen the count go down one
Did the hoot in' hoo-b-lie get a response?
Is the honking from the alleyway
A tone of the time to travel?
Hope that all is well it is now Tuesday the 22'
I'll look for ya 'all t call. . . .
for all the reasons*
Inadvertently I went
As I've neglected to go for a year
Or more
So the summer storms wash the rock.
In the urban jungle
If the pee was thick ? it's dryer stench the only clue ,
by the end of an all night and day soker,
Reconstituted
wash'd away by the deluge,
complete with cacophonous
Rolling Thunderstorms
So Washed and dried I went to Terrywile
A sent in reverses
Down climbing and reversing the hard the other way
traverses

UDT-SEAL gathering was right there next to the Otay River Delta (just right of the yellow boundary).
Trump didn't show. Why? He wasn't invited.

YMMV. I'm sure you can look up comparable for your own particular area of interest.
Battery Gatchell at Fort Emory (New SEAL facility)
Looking North through Trump's beautiful, beautiful fence.
Bette never showed up for any of the SEAL volleyball, but she did like the sport.
