Hi Everyone, I am a Library Tech at a public library. My fun fact about San Diego, CA. is a super tasty one! San Diego produces the most avocados in the United States. Avocados are one of my favorite foods so lucky me.

I forgot my trivia!! I’m originally from Long Beach, born and raised. One of the first silent film studios, Balboa Amusement Company existed there from 1913 – 1918. Actors like Buster Keaton and Fatty Arbuckle made films there!

Hi there! My name is Aubree, and I live in San Diego, California. Having lived here my whole life, my favorite part of the area is the various places you can visit in your free time.

Hello everyone! I live in South San Francisco, CA right on the backend of Sign Hill. The construction of the letters on Sign Hill took place in the 1920’s, the same decade in which the Hollywood sign was built.

AL&EE posted an update in the group SP 2024 Geographic Intros & Trivia! 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Hello! I live near the coast in Massachusetts. My favorite route to the beach is a drive on small winding roads. I look out my car window at an expanse of green grass, farms separated by low rock walls, few cows grazing, and beyond, the ocean! Each time make this drive, regardless of the season, I roll down the window to smell the fresh sea air…[Read more]

Hello, my name is Crystal and I live in Pacifica, CA, grew up next door in Daly City, CA, and was born next to that in San Francisco, CA. I’ve also lived in LA and NYC, so it’s safe to say that I need a ocean close by where it is I’m living. I guess anything I say on here is a little known fact, so here goes… My partner and I have a son and we…[Read more]
