| What is San Diego's Slogan |
The OG Option: Semper Vigilans (Ever Vigilant)
This fancy Latin phrase, proudly displayed on the city seal, basically means "We're always on the lookout!" Now, is San Diego particularly known for its constant vigilance? Maybe they have a really good neighborhood watch program. Or perhaps they're keeping a watchful eye out for rogue tacos? The mystery continues...
The Unofficial Frontrunner: America's Finest City
This catchy nickname has been around for ages, but some folks feel it's a tad arrogant. Is San Diego really throwing down the gauntlet against, you know, all the other amazing cities in America? Plus, what exactly makes a city "the finest"? Is it the number of surf shops? The proximity to delicious California burritos? The jury's still out.
The Dark Horse: Birthplace of California
This historical fact is true! San Diego was the first European settlement in California. But is it the most marketable slogan? Imagine the t-shirts: "San Diego: We Started This California Party!" Not exactly hitting the "beach vibes" most tourists crave.
Tip: Look for small cues in wording.
So, What's the Deal?
The truth is, San Diego doesn't have an official, city-sanctioned slogan. There's been some debate about adopting a new one, but for now, it's a free-for-all.
Maybe the real slogan is the friends we made along the way (and the epic amount of sunshine we enjoyed).
