WELCOME ZONIES!
Posted by Susan "Sully" Sullivan | Leave A Comment »
THEY’RE BAAACK!!
The “Zonies” are officially back in Carlsbad for the summer. With temperatures sizzling over triple digit 100’s in the desert areas to our east, the proximity of our beautiful beach town to that large body of water to the west; the blue Pacific, and it’s cooling effects on body and soul are irresistible to those that reside most of the year in Arizona.
They’ve targeted our Town, our hotels, beaches, restaurants and our streets are filled with the kindly folks that are looking for a reprieve from the desperately hot temperatures that plague that region of the country during the summer months. Some people say “tourist go home!” I say, ENJOY what we tend to take for granted everyday living in Carlsbad. Bless your heart when you have your left hand turn signal on when going right. Go ahead and jaywalk across Coast Highway, dragging your beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, pails and shovels on the way to enjoy the sun and sand in temperate climes.
Go ahead and drop in on the local surfers while screaming over the falls on your boogie boards. We love your zinc oxide that is smeared across your nose and cheeks. Your neon Hawaiian shirts, black socks with shoes at the beach, and feel free to spread your towel right next to mine, even though there is room with no one near just down the beach. We love you, Zonies! And we are making room for you to enjoy the town we love. Eat in our restaurants, buy from our local shop owners, and thank you for the contribution to our economy. One of California’s top domestic tourism market comes from Arizona. so Welcome Tourists! When we see your license plates fill up our town, we know that it’s officially summer!
P.S. Please feel free to buy a house, condo or mobile home so you can get out of that heat next year.
We would love to add to you our population and have you here full time enjoying our beach lifestyle that is unique to our coastal community.
When you come right down to it, we are ALL just tourists - out seeing the world!
