OTHER FINE HOMES AND INCOME PROPER TIES THROUGHOUT THE CITY. CANTINA LA TIENDA, 1951 Thought Golden Hill was the destination for indoor BBQing and icy martinis? Think again. The original home of The Turf Club was, in fact, Del Mar. Cantina La Tienda, a Mexican restaurant owned by Bing Crosby, was the first iteration of the space. But after a move across the highway, it was rebranded as The Turf Club. In 1972, we highlighted the rise of the dining scene in Del Mar, which included this much- loved spot as a 24-hour eatery—where racetrack folk could still get an “eye-opener” from the bar at 6 a.m. if the mood, or need, should strike.

RANCHO CALIFORNIA, 1966 Let’s face it—some of our archival ads celebrate societal shortcomings rather than countering them. “Land baron” doesn’t quite have the same ring to it these days, but, in 1966, Rancho California promoted the chance to start your North County inland dynasty. COUNTRY ROAD, NORTH COUNTY, 1968 This isn’t the first time we’ve looked back. For SDM ’s 20 th anniversary, the editors ran a selection of archival pics, including this charming shot of NoCo tots. DEL MAR RESTAURANTS, 1972 In 1972, Del Mar had a restaurant boom with five new eateries along its coast. Highlighted in this issue were The Turf Club, a Catholic- church-turned-restaurant called Albatross, GRB (The Golden Rollin Belly, of course), Firepit, and the recently shuttered Bully’s North.
