I've noticed a really twisted form of civic boosterism appearing on FR where people make major efforts to convince everyone that THEIR local city or small town or building or bridge in their area or something is the best International Terrorist target there is and how amazingly important and strategic it is, and take offense when anyone disagrees :-) Like with that supposed plane supposedly dropping supposed dust on the day care center in Charlotte; we got treated to people droning on and on about how Charlotte was the hub of the US banking system and whatnot.

The Coronado Bay Bridge is a big deal... there are carriers among other ships in port there. There is the Marine Corps Recruit Depot and the SD Airport just on the mainland not far away. On Coronado itself there is the Anphibious Base and NAS North Island... And there is a resort feel to the place as well as many expnesive homes... If you have never been there, be sure to visit if you come to San Diego. We used to call it a real " hardship tour" tongue in cheek...It is a lovely place to be stationed. I loved it there.

I agree. Now I hope that my correction to Illbay (or whatever his name is) regarding the twin ports of LA/LongBeach having a very large harbor is not interpreted that way!! ;-)
