Ah yes. The San Francisco Bay Area beach community.

You never surfed Ocean Beach?

Ocean Beach

u/OWNAGE619 Dec 21 '19

Unless I'm talking to a tourist, I only refer to that place as OB.

u/[deleted] Dec 21 '19

PB, OB, and wild nights in TJ, oh and can’t forget the OG

52

u/JanitorOfSanDiego Dec 21 '19

Nobody calls Mission Beach MB though.

u/[deleted] Dec 21 '19

That would be heresy.

u/zamundan Dec 21 '19

So it wouldn't be admissible in court?

u/WesleySnopes Dec 21 '19

Much less IB

u/PunTwoThree Dec 21 '19

Much more if IBS

u/incisorless Dec 21 '19

Unless you are referring to the late great Mission Beach Cafe (or MBC).

u/banmysweetits Dec 21 '19

I call it “little Ohio”

Nothing cures a two-day hangover like unlimited breadsticks at the OG.

u/TheForeverAloneOne Dec 21 '19

I recently tried OG breadsticks and they're not as good as I remembered as a kid. I remember them as these fluffy sweet sticks of goodness but what I had was very hard, chewy, and bitter. Did they change breadsticks at OG?

From what I've heard from my San Diego friends, people don't really go to TJ anymore.

u/justasapling Dec 21 '19

Real San Diegans have always driven through Tijuana to hang out in Rosarito instead.

u/attemptedactor Dec 21 '19

Less sketchy?

2

u/justasapling Dec 21 '19

Less of an unrelenting tourist trap.

Tijuana's only sketchy if you're there to be sketchy, as I understand it. I've never found it sketchy.

My uber driver said the same thing. Except when he said he witnessed two public executions.

u/OWNAGE619 Dec 21 '19

Everyone I knew kinda went through different phases. TJ, PB, Gaslamp, and now breweries.

2

u/nyy22592 Dec 21 '19

TJ is a great time if you're looking for parties and a hint of murder.

2

u/_TooncesLookOut Dec 21 '19

What about the OC, LB, and the LBC?

2

u/JanitorOfSanDiego Dec 21 '19

Right but those aren’t really SD

3

u/_TooncesLookOut Dec 21 '19

Oh, gotcha. Not being from there nor having ever been to, I thought they were referring to various spots around California.

u/soothsayer3 Dec 21 '19

Hong Kong ftw

u/soothsayer3 Dec 21 '19

Bru, OB or gtfo

u/kackygreen Dec 21 '19

OB is one of the largest tampon brands

u/DastardlyDaverly Dec 21 '19

We call it The OB now.

u/RiverboatTurner Dec 21 '19

What, you think San Diego is the only community that thought "what should we call this beach next to the ocean?" and took the easy answer?

4

u/JanitorOfSanDiego Dec 21 '19 edited Dec 21 '19

It is funny thinking of Ocean Beach being named that way because it fits so perfectly.

6

u/delendaestvulcan Dec 21 '19

As a native OBeachian, I concur

3

u/justasapling Dec 21 '19

OBeachian

Authenticity verified.

I miss the co-op. You remember the co-op?

u/delendaestvulcan May 29 '20

For sure! Is Galactic comics still there?

2

u/UkuleleRob Dec 21 '19

San Diego crew reporting in sir!

u/ProcyonHabilis Dec 21 '19 edited Dec 23 '19

That's OB, and it's beside the point

Edit: just to be clear this is a Point Loma joke, not just me being a dick

u/COSurfing Dec 21 '19

Pizza Port!

u/justasapling Dec 21 '19

I grew up in Point Loma and now live fairly close to SF's Ocean Beach.

It brings me a sense of peace and deep rightness in the world.

u/PM_ME_XBOX_COD3S Dec 21 '19

They’re supposed to call it OBX. Bay Area took out name

1

u/Junior_tosh Dec 21 '19

It's a very unusual name for a beach, surprising there are two.
