Your proximity to the Hilltop campus means you will be hearing the drum section of the band doing the summer training sessions. Before H street was completed, I marched down Claire Ave from I St to Via De Laurencio every afternoon from September through December. Evenings were spent on the football field to practice for half-time shows. Mornings started at 5:00 AM for trumpet section practice in the band room.
Take a drive down Peppertree Lane. After the first big dip, there is a big, semi-circular house on the right. That belonged to my wife's uncle. He started a little company known as Kelco. Today, the house is occupied by the young lady who was the flower girl at my wedding and her husband.
My wife's grandfather came to Chula Vista around 1911. He had the opportunity to buy a big piece of swampy land for $500, but turned it down. That land is known as the Bonita Valley today. We have quite a bit of family history tied up in Chula Vista.
