Ocean Beach Water Quality

Water quality has been a huge factor and it all started around the 1900’s. In San Diego Bay, millions of sewage was being collected around downtown and smelled over the city in 1930. Waste was growing and has become “a metropolitan cesspool.”^[1] “San Diego became the home of the largest military industrial complex in the world and in a few years the population doubled.”^[2] That meant the water had to have a solution for use of water instead of sewage. The water quality had to be fixed if more people were coming to San Diego so they had invented a pipeline to the Colorado river which worked successfully in the 1940’s. Population was still growing during that time while waste was being cleaned out.

The Prohibition Law

The Prohibition Law was set in the 1920’s and banned selling alcohol. The 18th Amendment was in effect to stop selling alcohol and became illegal. Many believed it was the “America's National Curse,” and having this law will strengthen families but didn't last long. “Thousands of jobs were eliminated when breweries, distilleries, and saloons were shut down.” ^[3] Their goal was to strengthen families to end up ruining the economy. The only way there was access to alcohol were speakeasies. Tijuana was the one of the main places with speakeasies that was still selling alcohol while people went through the border and back. Before the Ocean Beach Tavern was designed as a prohibition roadhouse to conceal alcohol behind for customers. One of the main speakeasies in Ocean Beach that is still open to now, Tony's did the same. In addition to Tony’s speakeasies, there are well known historic restaurants that lasted a while.
