A small handwritten sign seen in a San Diego window. The danger of falling in love is falling in love.
Here are some wise (or seemingly wise) signs that I’ve photographed during my walks around downtown San Diego. Some enlighten passersby, some add a touch of lightness or levity to daily life.
If there is one thing that Republicans and Democrats can agree on is that coffee is Great! Indeed, many things in life are.Perhaps this is wise. Perhaps not. Play today, work mañana.Hazard. One small word to the wise, warning of unseen danger under the deceptively peaceful water of San Diego Bay.More wise philosophy inside a downtown window. Live in the moment, take chances, be here now, tell someone how much they mean to you.Sign on San Diego sidewalk with a powerful, insightful quote. With our thoughts we make the world. Buddha.

St. Patrick’s Day is almost upon us! Here are a few warm and funny Irish pub signs that I’ve spotted while walking around downtown San Diego.

Whatever your beverage, be sure and raise a glass in toast to St. Patrick, to the Irish and to yourself.Here’s to a long life and a merry one. A quick death and an easy one. A pretty girl and an honest one. A cold beer and another one!Drink up! It makes other people more interesting. (I think I spotted this in front of an Irish pub. Or perhaps it was just an ordinary San Diego bar.)Lovely day for a Guinness. Especially if you’re a horse enjoying a nice leisurely ride.

Here are a dozen more funny signs and sights that I’ve spotted in downtown San Diego. Since many of these photographs were taken around the Gaslamp Quarter with its many restaurants and bars, it isn’t surprising that a popular theme is Eat, Drink and Be Merry.

A flock of San Diego River ducks. The curious birds seem to wait for a morning bus at the Fashion Valley Transit Center.
Just a quick, fun post!
This morning, a flock of San Diego River ducks were happily waddling about the Fashion Valley Transit Center. They fearlessly mingled with the humans, who watched the proceedings with amusement. Perhaps those curious feathered friends were also waiting for a bus!
Is it Bartman? No? Then it must be another funny Bart Simpson superhero identity. This cool utility box is located in North Park!
Here come photos of another Bart Club utility box! This fun street art can be found in North Park at the intersection of El Cajon Boulevard and 30th Street.
This is the fourth instance of zany Bart Simpson artwork I’ve documented on the Cool San Diego Sights blog. You might recall there’s another Bart Club utility box in North Park, not very far from this one.
Looking down El Cajon Boulevard in San Diego past some imaginative Bart Club street art.Bart Simpson is a cat!Bart’s face takes on different forms and expressions.A cyclops eye or three eyes . . . Bart is one versatile cartoon character! A very creative artist has had some fun with The Simpsons, the longest-running animated show in television history.
A smiling, innocent-looking pirate just walks along. People suspect nothing.
Did I actually see what I thought I saw?
Two tall ships were scheduled to have a mock cannon battle today on San Diego Bay. The reenactment was to be between the Maritime Museum of San Diego’s replica Revenue Cutter Californian (the official tall ship of the State of California) and the Lady Washington, a tall ship visiting from the Grays Harbor Historical Seaport Authority.
What happened?
Pirates!
Two very rascally pirates!
Read the photo captions and tell me where I am wrong!
Visitors to the Maritime Museum of San Diego have boarded the tall ship Californian, to engage in a mock cannon battle with visiting tall ship Lady Washington.In case you want to learn a bit more about Californian’s sails and rigging, click this photo. Unfortunately, pirates know all about this stuff.Notorious Captain Swordfish, that pirate who makes Blackbeard look perfectly civilized, comes striding along. He must have another evil scheme in mind.Captain Swordfish makes a crazy scene, distracting those who are boarding the Lady Washington. Nobody notices what that first innocent-looking pirate is up to.That first pirate has taken control of Californian!

I spotted these funny pictures and quotes on some windows in the Horton Plaza shopping mall food court, in downtown San Diego. I’m not sure if this particular eatery closed down or is soon to debut. I saw no sign. But I had a good laugh!
