Transcript

Your favorite neighborhood in San Diego? Palm Avenue. Anywhere that Palm Avenue rank through. So all the way from Imperial Beach down to the 8 05. Any beach you can get close to, it's lovely. I love Claremont. There's good food around. You're right next to Convoy and Super Central. Carmel Mountain area. It's just good vibes all around. You'll never meet a bad face. Pacific Pacific Beach and Mission Beach. I've lived down here for a long time prior to moving to Mission Hills, and I love it. That's why I'm here today. Bird Rank. Because you can go to PB, but you can go to La Jolla. It's not crazy, but you still have all of this without the noise.
