This just in: San Diego does things differently than Los Angeles.
Its downtown sits at water’s edge. It neighbors a foreign country. Its people support fewer major sports teams (one versus nine, countywide) and more military bases (nine versus three).
And instead of tucking its sleek new outdoor music venue into a fetching fold in the foothills, as the Hollywood Bowl’s builders did in L.A. a century ago, the San Diego Symphony plopped it down on the waterfront. At the edge of downtown.
