Crowds gather at Horton Plaza as Senator John F. Kennedy gives a speech in front of the U.S. Grant Hotel during a campaign visit to San Diego on November 2, 1960, six days before the election. In his speech, JFK said San Diego had twice as many unemployed as in 1959 and “the Republicans don’t care.” Union-Tribune, photo by Thane McIntosh

Fifth Avenue was the main retail street in 1960s downtown San Diego. The Walker Scott department store, opened in 1935 as Walker’s, sported the city’s first escalators in 1947. President George A. Scott, whose name was added in 1954, built stores in the suburbs in the 1960s, but all outlets closed by 1986 in the face of a changing retail environment. Union-Tribune

Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. spoke at California Western University in favor of the fair housing Rumford Act in May 1964. His hour-long talk at Cal-Western, titled “Remaining Awake Through a Revolution,” was interrupted nearly 20 times. One line that drew applause: “I am convinced, deep in my heart, that by using nonviolence we can turn racial discord into a symphony of brotherhood.” Union-Tribune

Fans, both young and old, lined up to take in the Beatles’ A Hard Day’s Night at the California Theatre in August 1964. “I don’t want to get mixed up in this,” said a gray-haired man with a cane, waving a hand at the screaming girls. “I just came here to see the Beatle movie.” San Diego History Center, Union-Tribune Collection (#UT85:E541-3)

Lab assistants at Salk Institute in July 1965 represent San Diego’s push into biomedical and high-tech research fields in the 1960s. Salk as well as UC San Diego were two new institutions that opened in that decade and from them sprang numerous companies, medicines, and technologies that created a new economic sector for San Diego and high-paying jobs.

Reuben H. Fleet was named Mr. San Diego in 1969, an annual honor voted by the largest Rotary Club in the county. He became a military aviator during World War I, created an aviation company, Consolidated (later renamed Convair), and moved it from Buffalo, New York, to San Diego in 1935. After World War II, he founded the San Diego Aerospace Museum in 1961 and family members founded what is now the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center. Both museums are in Balboa Park. Union-Tribune

Fall 1970 meant Julian Apple Days, when 50,000 urban dwellers drove east to take in apple cider, apple pie, parades, pancake breakfasts, and entertainment to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the gold rush town. San Diego History Center, Union-Tribune Collection (#UT86:i9141-22)

The 90,00-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Enterprise moves through San Diego Bay on its way to North Island Naval Air Station in March 1971. Photographer Joe Holly caught the scene from Point Loma on a clear day that took in downtown high rises and the mountains in the distance. Union-Tribune, photo by Joe Holly

Women attorneys became more common in San Diego’s legal community in the 1970s. Seven founded the Lawyers Club in 1972, including, from left, Judith McConnell, club president (and future judge); Lynn Schenk, a San Diego Gas & Electric lawyer (and future member of Congress); and Sharron Voorhees.

Ken Norton (left) was not expected to beat Muhammad Ali at the San Diego Sports Arena on March 31, 1973. But after he broke the former champ’s jaw and picked up the pace, the referees declared a split decision for Norton at the end of the 12th round. It was only Ali’s second career loss. Norton won $50,000, his career high at the time. It is considered one of the most memorable sports events in local history. San Diego History Center, Union-Tribune

Comic book fans Freddie Lewis, 12 (left), and Marshall Beck, 12, both of Normal Heights, set aside super hero comics to check out a copy of Howard the Duck at the 1976 convention. The year was notable for the first preview of the first Star Wars film that debuted in 1977. A Joe Shuster sketch of Superman sold for $250—he was a co-creator of the Man of Steel.

Historical photographs of San Diego from 1980 through 2020

A delightful way to view the historical changes in a city with the four volumes that have been offered. From the early 1800's through 2020 in black and white photos to colorful ones in the late 1900's to 2020. I have enjoyed watching San Diego grow and change through interesting and well chosen photographs.
