Walking Tour of Historic Coronado
2022-04-07 13:00 - 14:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Coronado Historical Association, 1100 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
One of the best ways to experience the history of Coronado is to go on a historic walking tour. This is the secret that Coronado locals know: it takes time to sense the past. When you slow down, you have a chance to see, hear, and remember this place that Hollywood stars, princes, and presidents have enjoyed. Everywhere you look in this charming beach town, you find history. And, that history is easiest to see on foot – when you have a chance to linger in front of a tiny, shingled house, perhaps, and meet the resident as he comes out into the yard to water his roses and tells you about the multiple generations who have lived in the home. Or, when you seemingly stumble upon the magical house from which the Wizard of Oz was born.
We’re proud to host you on Coronado’s premier walking tour. Every tour purchase supports the Coronado Historical Association and its mission. Thank you for your support.
Every Sunday at 11 am & Thursday at 1 pm

US Attack Aviation: From the Red Baron to TOPGUN
2022-11-17 17:00 - 18:30 | Winn Room, Coronado Public Library, 640 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Attack aviation is intense and dangerous. It necessitates the direct engagement of ground targets at low altitude. Attack aircraft are usually fighters or fighter-sized aircraft, with one or two engines, and one or two crew. For this event, R. G. Head (Brig. Gen., Ret.) will present his new book US Attack Aviation: Air Force and Navy Light Attack: 1916 to the Present. This is a story about flying. It is told by naval aviators, Air Force fighter pilots, and the men who built the airplanes the pilots flew.
Author R. G. Head (Brig. Gen., Ret.) has extensive experience in combat (325 missions, DFC, Silver Star) and an in-depth understanding of doctrine (taught future pilots at the Air Force Academy) and gained first-person exposure to the policy and engineering aspects of the aircraft procurement process while serving at the Pentagon and later as a private consultant working in collaboration with the US Navy. His work provides an overview history of American attack aviation from its inception to present, including both the US Navy and Air Force. The pillars of the narrative are several case studies that characterize the evolution of technology and tactics over time: SBD Dauntless, AD Skyraider, A-4 Skyhawk, A-7 Corsair II, A-10 Thunderbolt II, and F/A-18 Hornet. Each of the cases contains first-person accounts that include a description of the aircraft’s origin, competitive procurement, major attack features, and combat employment. Head (Brig.

"Big Fish"
2022-11-04 20:00 - 22:00 | Coronado Playhouse, 1835 Strand Way, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Book by JOHN AUGUST
Music and Lyrics by ANDREW LIPPA
Based on the novel by Daniel Wallace and the Columbia Motion Picture written by John August

Dream, Love, Live Bigger.
Directed by Hunter Brown

Based on the celebrated novel by Daniel Wallace and the acclaimed film directed by Tim Burton, Big Fish tells the story of Edward Bloom, a traveling salesman who lives life to its fullest…and then some! Edward’s incredible, larger-than-life stories thrill everyone around him—most of all, his devoted wife Sandra. But their son Will, about to have a child of his own, is determined to find the truth behind his father’s epic tales.
The story shifts between two timelines. In the present-day real world, sixty-year-old Edward Bloom faces his mortality while his son prepares to become a father himself. In the storybook past, Edward ages from a teenager, encountering a Witch, a Giant, a Mermaid, and the love of his life, Sandra. The stories meet as Will discovers the secret his father never revealed.
Overflowing with heart and humor, Big Fish is an extraordinary musical that reminds us why we love going to the theatre—for an experience that’s richer, funnier and bigger than life itself.

The next general membership meeting of the Coronado Democratic Club will be held on Saturday, November 19th, in the Winn Room at the Coronado Public Library. Doors open at 10:30 am and the meeting will begin at 11 am.
Local resident Kevin Ashley will give a brief overview of the early history of the African American community in Coronado, covering the period from 1885 until World War II. Kevin spent the past several years researching the nearly forgotten history of Coronado’s pioneering African American community. He previously shared some of this research on his blog, The Coronado Black History Project. Kevin is currently collaborating with the Coronado Historical Association, the San Diego History Center, and a granddaughter of former Coronado resident Cynthia Hudgins to publish Cynthia Hudgins’ remarkable memoir The Other Side of the Fence: Life on Both Sides of the Color Line. The book is scheduled for release in February of 2023 to coincide with Black History Month.
In the spirit of the holiday season, we will also be accepting donations at the meeting for the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank, a non-profit organization providing food to the hungry in our community. You may bring non-perishable food items to the Winn Room and drop them off between 10:30 and noon on the 19th.
