U.S. Grant Hotel Story
In January 1946, on my first of hudreds of subsequent visits to San Diego, as always, I checked in at the U.S. Grant Hotel. The following morning I went to the hotel coffee shop for breakfast and on the counters and tables there was a small paper tent sign that stated the following. "San Diego has less rain than Los Angeles. San Diego has less fog than Los Angeles. San Diego doesn't get as hot as Los Angeles. San Diego doesn't get a cold as Los Angeles". I think there were a couple more items extolling the merits of San Diego over Los Angeles but I don't remember what they were. In the next thirty five years of visiting San Diego and staying at the U. S. Grant Hotel I have learned that all the stated virtues San Diego has over L.A. are true.
