13-34 San Diego #1 of 5: The Coronado Island Bridge & More

This video takes a short spin across the Coronado bridge and back to I-5 north for a few miles before exiting in to downtown San Diego for a couple miles. Music info and FAQ's are in the closing credits.

Great video over the bridge, and the blossoming jacarandas were a nice touch downtown!

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you!

[@assaultislove]

Lovely video for a lovely city. I lived in San Diego from 84 to 95, and this video bought back a lot of memories!

[@jmvfrva]

I had no what SD looks like until now. Thanks!

[@D2RCR]

San Diego is such a beautiful city. It's been years since I've been there, I really need to go back.

[@saxman112]

That looks like a nice area! If I ever go back to California someday, I think I really would want to visit San Diego now.

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you! San Diego lives up to its billing too, neat place, that I'm sure you would joy very much ;)

[@cjs121675]

NICE! Boy downtown San Diego has changed since I was there in 1990! Great ride, great bridge! I've always loved that bridge! Ever since I first saw it on the opening credits of Simon & Simon!!! Great vid- really loving your trip thus far!!!!!!

[@84theway77]

Very good job! Nice trip and smoothy music

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks, glad to hear it!

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks, it's a really nice city, it's big (Sprawl) but not overwhelming.

[@asteyhighways]

Awesome scenery from the bridge, just before entering to the I-5... Great video!

[@Freewayjim]

Glad you liked it and thanks for watching!

[@kerleymoh3339]

Yes, a beautiful video and song!

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you, yes those bridges accommodate larger cargo and Navy ships so they need to have at least 180 feet in clearance, most major bridges in the south and northeast are that high as well..

[@RayMullins]

More homesickness. I've spent a lot of time in San Diego. It's been a long time since I went over the Coronado bridge; the zipper is new (and understandable). I'm surprised they haven't taken out the toll plaza, though.

[@TheSolarcatcher]

Well done sir! Great track!

[@pedrovilla1448]

That's just what it is, a paradise 😉

[@RamonPolo]

It really is the finest city in America!

[@jaygee7028]

Too close to Mexico

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you!

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you sir!

[@kerstboom20000]

Hi, i like the footage,and music. It is an informative too

[@Freewayjim]

B. Sami Thank you!

[@cmmolthr]

She's right! The strand is a really nice trip! Another nice ride (although not a freeway) is taking La Jolla Shores Drive, from La Jolla proper up toward the UCSD campus, it goes along the coast, and is very scenic. The Scripps Institute is along this route!

[@dave11686]

Looks like you had a beautiful day for this one '

[@HoltCalifornia]

Did you check out CA-56? That's what I consider the coolest urban freeway/highway hybrid I've ever been on in San Diego-- far better than CA-78, and CA-52.

[@justinhundley2456]

The FreewayJim Show stills continues when he goes to San Diego & LA! (I think he loved us) I love the beautiful scene, music & the video! See you Next Week (Monday October 21, 2013) when he visits more mysterious places in San Diego. Justin out! Do you have anything to say FreewayJim?

[@AlisoViejoMan]

Excellent Video Jim. Keep up the awesome videos. You think you will do a International one soon, maybe Toronto or Montreal.

[@AlisoViejoMan]

Actually there is a new restaurant - a Brazilian Steakhouse called Fuga De Chao there. It opened up a month or so after this video was made.

[@tracyallen5931]

Hey, how can you just drive right by me and not even honk? LOL! Wonderful video! I enjoyed the music too. Very fitting. Have you taken driven the Silver Strand in Coronado? That is a lovely drive! You pass by the Navy Seals over there.

[@khunopie]

And on the 8th day, God created San Diego! Stay classy, San Diego

[@tracyallen5931]

Oh how I hate when I don't catch my type-o's! I meant to ask if you've EVER driven The Strand. You'll have to do that one day. :)

[@Sweetdaddy411]

Thanks Jim-Sd is my favorite City!

[@FreewayBrent]

I'm going to be filming all over Toronto, starting tomorrow and thru the end of the week. :-)

[@EdgeXXI]

God I can't wait to move there.

[@Freewayjim]

No I have not, but I sure would love to come back out west again someday, there is so much more I'd like to see.

[@Freewayjim]

Yes, I got a few miles of it coming up on video 13-38 in couple weeks.

[@phoenix2972]

I gotta move out there!!!

[@Sweetdaddy411]

Great song FWJ and great vid

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks I would love to film in those cities but I don't see myself getting up there anytime soon.

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks!

[@mdavid1955]

Very nice! They like tall bridges in CA. don't they? I like the way that downtown SD has retained it's character.

[@lakebay972]

You mean, Fogo de Chão? There's one in Dallas; and it's really good.

[@Freewayjim]

We really did, for the whole trip for the most part.

[@lakebay972]

@4:25...I'm surprised they haven't found a tenant for that Borders building. They closed down in 2011 (in Dallas, anyway). Sad day indeed.

[@Freewayjim]

No, unfortunately I did not get a chance to see that road.

[@jaygee7028]

Wow that’s a pretty bad traffic going on in San Diego

[@Freewayjim]

LOL, sorry...no we only used Coronado as a turn around :) Really enjoyed the short time we spend in SD.

[@citizen7751]

To the south you have the border, to the west you have a sea, to the north you have an army base and to the west you have the mountains. San Diego is running out of space...fast and things will get ugly for the city very soon.

[@justinhundley2456]

Aw... :)

[@HighVenturesSD]

Freewayjim thanks for your reply. Its not about the numbers I am trying to collect. Its simple marketing that I'm doing for myself and my channel. How do I tell people about my videos without taking a chance and telling as much people as I can about it. Its on you if you want to watch it or not, I'm just trying to put myself out there. If you actually watched my videos, you'd see I have good intentions and good meanings with it. With that said a simple no or ignore would've been fine. No need to try and berate me for telling and introducing you to a free video from a local to something that MIGHT appeal to you. Thanks for your time.

[@Freewayjim]

I never asked for a sub from anyone else, ever! and I never used another person's forum/channel to tell people about my videos. You gain viewership by producing interesting, good quality videos and getting attention via word of mouth and promoting them in the appropriate places (subject appropriate subject related message boards & facebooks groups for example) if you feel the need to do so. I don't question the intention of your videos at all, nor am I trying to berate you, I just get a lot of people trying to get attention for themselves off my work not to mention everyone who wants me to sub their channel that I have no interest in and I'm just a little sensitive to it so please forgive me if I came off as annoyed, maybe a private message on your part would have more appropriate? I started from the very bottom with my channel just happy someone other than a friend or family member found what I did interesting. Good luck with your channel.
