🏙️ Key Downtown San Diego 1976 Features: •Bank of California Building (tall dark building near center-left) was already a prominent fixture by the 1970s. •El Cortez Hotel (left side with the dome top) still stood out before being overshadowed by modern high-rises later. •Sparse skyline compared to modern times — many current high-rises hadn’t been built yet. •Navy buildings and Midway-style ships along the waterfront reflect San Diego’s strong naval presence during the Cold War. •The mountains in the background and relatively open waterfront give it that classic 1970s look.
