If you've headed out on the Interstate 5 north after flying in to the airport, you will remember this one. The Aero Club on India St., was most likely an after-work hangout for aerospace plant workers sometime in the 40's, 50's, or 60's. But alas, like the diminishing flame on the jet, the plants soon became empty.

Possibly worth a stop for some Chinese food is the Pekin' Cafe on University Ave. in San Diego. Definitely worth a stop for a photo of the neon sign though.
