SD 4th of July Celebrations!



The American holiday of day time drunkenness and BBQ food gorging is here!! Since us San Diegans can't drink on the beach like a proper coastal town SHOULD on Independence Day, we'll have to make sure and make the most of the fireworks going off all over the city on Sunday. Signonsandiego has a great list of all the fireworks over the county and places to picnic and get your liberty party on!
