It was a bit tricky to find the correct entrance. So you may be circling the building until you find the entrance that is open that day. I've been dreading having to renew my passport since getting married and changing my name... so of course I wait until the very last minute to do so. Lots of countries consider your passport expired if it expires within six months of your travel date. Ugh!!! We were considering traveling at the end of year and decided to expedite my renewal. $130 for the renewal... an additional $60 to expedite! Geezy!!! Sabrina was the person that helped me. She was great, fast and friendly! I had scheduled my appt for 3 pm and was done and out by 3:15! I completely recommend scheduling an appt. Yes, they are hard to come by, but if one opens up. Snag it fast! 2025: 20

Who would've known!? So take note of that people who come to this county administration building free parking is actually available.!! that is a rarity these days. I was dreading a long line, but there was no one in line and I was helped immediately by a very high functioning man and they printed out the forms that I needed immediately and explained everything to me. Excellent service excellent employees thank you so much for being excellent.

Stick 'em up! We stumbled across the Old San Diego Police Headquarters at Seaport District while…read morelooking for the restroom. There isn't much to see but a few pictures hanging on the wall, some artifacts in enclosed glass display cases, and some historical facts that you can read. There is also a wall with the height markings where you can take your own mug shots. We think the height markings are accurate despite us finding out that one is shorter than what we had been saying- luckily they won't be locking us up for lying this whole time! One of the cell doors is open in case you want to go in and get a feel for the cell space. But aside from that, you'll be in and out within a matter of minutes. Really not much to see, but while on your way to restroom or on your way out, check it out as it is cool to see some of historic San Diego. According to the pictures and signs, this jail was in operation during the 1940s. Pretty cool find and for a dollar, you can even take a photo booth picture and not even have to get charged with a crime!

The architecture stands out, quietly waiting to be noticed and appreciated. The Stephens Terry house made my head turn as I was biking by, had to stop and take a look at this historical landmark that's up for sale. "The mansion, a three-story Coronado landmark at 711 A Ave., was designed by noted architects William Hebbard and Irving Gill in 1898 for A.P. Stephens. It was purchased in 1915 as a retirement home by Marshall O. Terry, former surgeon general of New York. Mr. Hansen bought the home at auction in 1950. He raised two families there - his four sons and two nephews and a niece, whom he took in after the death of their parents." Union Tribune Such a treat to find a 117 year old mansion style home! Now if I could only get the realtor to give me the grand tour of the inside.
