Not another travel guide book, @damondominique has put together a guided journal for anyone open to exploring their own cultural influences before leaving home...plus it's a lot of fun.

It's a special spot steps from the train station in downtown Oceanside. And leave time to walk down to the pier about 5 minutes away.
