La Jolla Then & Now: Revisiting 1970s & '80s profiles on San Diego neighborhood

News 8 looks into the history of La Jolla and what it's like today. We revisit Harry's Coffee Shop, housing and more of 'the jewel' as featured in the 1970s & '80s. MORE: www.cbs8.com/a...

I eat at Harry’s at least once a week and it is always good and the staff are great people. Definitely one of my favorite things about La Jolla!

Late 70s & all through the 80's me and my friends took the bus to the beach. Life was the best then and now just too many people.

Who remembers the lady wearing a cowboy hat that drove the '66 red Cadillac convertible with the inflatable man in the frtont passenger seat ?

Always remember Bird Rock

So much of San Diego has changed and not for the better. La Jolla Cove is now a disgusting mess of street vendors, electric scooters and unfinished construction projects.

[@purplejakman]

Maybe you should actually visit LA Jolla instead of reading about it on fox News! Been there dozens of times over the summer and it is amazing, if electric scooters, which help everyone get around, and street vendors selling 1 dollar tacos are the worst part then I'll stay forever lol. The only construction I've ever seen were old buildings being remodeled also so yah! Please stay away anyways lol

[@JMVideos7676]

@@purplejakman I'm sorry you have such lowered expectations. I've visited the area many times over the years and have stayed at La Valencia, Grande Colonial, and La Jolla Cove Suites. The current situation at the cove is miserable with a never ending construction of new rest room facilities and street vendors who have taken over large sections of the sidewalks and park. The scooters are an eyesore and litter the street corners. I'm guessing that you'd be happier visiting TJ than visiting La Jolla Cove.

[@purplejakman]

@@JMVideos7676 haha I've literally spent my whole life going there during the summers. Thanks for outing yourself as a self hating republican who believes that a few scooters and people selling food makes a place terrible lol. Tj is a great place to visit also!! I enjoy both for different reasons! I definitely have high expectations, that's why I don't visit the inland states more except for fishing and shooting, the best cities in most states couldn't compare to what LA Jolla is currently, and anyone who's been around the country will 100% attest to it. Yah know, unless you follow a certain orange man or watch a certain news station ;) So like I said! Please stay away! Keep California great :)
