Celebrating the Big and Little Things

This past year has been one of celebration for Coronado as we marked 50th anniversaries of the San Diego-Coronado Bridge, Coronado Cays, Coronado’s first traffic light, the announcement of the Coronado Shores high-rise development and a new, modern post office to name a few milestones of 1969. It was a big year of change for our little town.

In this issue, we feature the Coronado car ferries, which made their last run 50 years ago when so many of the changes to Coronado were just beginning. You’ll meet the colorful and creative Dolores Forsythe and learn about her path to a successful jewelry business. One of Coronado’s best kept secrets is Musica Vitale, a choral ensemble that is sharing music with our kids. These stories are just part of a magazine full of fun and interesting content.

In this hectic season, we remind ourselves that the simple things in life are often the best. They’re easy to find in Coronado, whether it’s running into friends while shopping or dining, watching a blaze of sunlight shine on the buildings downtown at sunset, or enjoying a quiet, early morning walk on the beach watching a line of pelicans coasting along the tops of waves.

This year, we have reflected a lot on the good old days. With 2020 fast approaching, we’re gearing up for another wonderful year. The close of the year is a time of celebration, but during this holiday season also take time to enjoy the simpler things, give back to those less fortunate, and look toward the new year with hope and appreciation for all the great things happening in our little city.
