History of Oceanside

I miss Oceanside. I've lived there off and on and there's no other place that has ever made me feel like home. Hopefully I'll move back there one day. Thanks for the history lesson.

I did a travel nurse contract at Palomar years ago, and we stayed in Carlsbad, but we liked Oceanside. It felt like a homey place. We used to go to the diner for lunch a couple times a week and really enjoyed the staff there; it was like chatting with folks one’s known for years, in an age when the art of chitchat is ever increasingly becoming a lost one.

My dad told me when he was growing up here 1950-1980 Oceanside was a quite rolling hills community. He moved me back here from being raised in Ramona at 16; I have lived here for 11 years now; I never felt at home in Oceanside… I actually find Oceanside to be a pretty scary place. Tons of crime here, people drive recklessly and the people don’t look up at you to say hi in the grocery store. Once upon a time this was a beautiful, safe and culturally relevant city… now, it is just crime, traffic and palm trees. - one thing we have that still good is the 101, the strand and downtown. Even there I don’t walk alone though, people get hurt walking around our downtown district. I hope Oceanside gets better; I day dream everyday of moving to a safer, more appropriately populated, less crime ridden SD county community.

After living in O'side for a few years, I found out that Barbra Mandrell had graduated from the high school and performed at the amphitheater one year in the late 80's or mid 90's.

Use to live on Tyson st from 87-2021 now live in Florida hate it and can’t wait to move back to Oceanside

Love oceanside.. I wish they added more native Americans Mexicans Americans that history that was there but good story

You forgot the extremely corrupt police department.

I grew up there going to the beach when I was a kid all the way to Tijuana Border Beach, San Diego California America Angela Marie

I was there in 1970, when i was 5 and 6. My little brother and i went to the beach every day.. My memory might be off because I thiught we hung out in is area with rocks, and one day a bunch of large fish all showed up and we were too afraid to get in the water. We stared as we watched from on top of those huge rocks.

They left out the best part of Oceanside, at least in the 1970s and 1980, the airport.
