Coronado's 3 Rs: Resorts, Retirees and Romney

CORONADO — Don Hubbard is sitting on the front porch of his Victorian-era beach house, chatting under the shade of a purple-pink bougainvillea, when a Navy helicopter rumbles over his roof.

Then another. “It’s quiet Coronado,” says Hubbard, softening his sarcasm with a smile. “It’s always like this.”

If the San Diego area remains a Navy town, then Coronado is its proud, patriotic town square. American flags dot the seaside burg like so many king palms on Orange Avenue. Old Glory bunting flutters atop long fences. The U.S. commander of Navy air forces works down the street, at North Island Naval Air Station.

That article was very skewed, but what else would you expect from the extremely right UT.

Comment by Sylvia Silverman on August 28, 2012 at 9:02am: Every person has a right to his own opinion. I, too, am a Coronado resident and disagree with Mr. Hubbard. I am a supporter of President Obama.
