Share Your Top Coronado "Insider Secret" with Newcomers

If you were to share an important 'insider secret' about operating in Coronado, what would it be?

The CHRC, with Coronado SAFE, is developing a new program called SAFE Ambassadors. The goal of SAFE Ambassadors is to help welcome all new students and their families to Coronado with a personal visit and a welcome basket full of good information re: resources and contacts; local publications; gift coupons; treats . . . including a list of 'insider secrets' that will help newcomers save time, effort, money and possible grief. 

Knowing these things creates a sense of belonging. For example:

  • Do not wash your car in your driveway or on the street where the water might spill into a storm drain or risk getting cited. Either wash your car at a commercial car wash or on a surface that absorbs water, such as grass or gravel. There is one public 'car wash' in Coronado at El Cordova Garage: Basic Hand-Wash, Vacuum & Light Detail - just $25: 1000 C Avenue, Coronado.
  • During the month of October children 11 and younger admitted free to the San Diego Zoo. (10/01/2010 - 10/31/2010).
  • Find a a collection of 'insider secrets' right here at www.eCoronado.com!

Please share your 'insider secrets' here in the comments! Thank you.

One of our favorite tips is that you can call the Coronado Library to reserve your books/DVDs for pick up.  We look up a movie online (http://74.62.186.68/), call the library (619-522-7390) and pick it up.  Saves us time and we always get the movie we want.  Plus, it only costs 50 cents to rent it for a week.

There is also a Car Wash at the 76 Station.
