La Jolla

La Jolla is the brightest jewel among the many precious coastal suburban sprawling beach towns along the Southern California coastline. Its recent decay has increased mainly due to its huge popularity among SUV-laden, upper-income surfing, hang-gliding, kite-surfing, scuba-diving, snorkeling, fishing, golfing, photographing, shopping, soon-to-retire baby boomers who want more parking. La Jolla is at the center of marine research, US Open Golf, a world-renowned research university and expensive student housing, chic boutiques, biotech startups, surf-dive shops, over-starred restaurants, beach-side retirement communities and more Taco Bells and McDonalds than you can shake a cane at. A marine wildlife haven, La Jollans give their beaches over to baby seals at the drop of a flipper.
La Jolla that beach, no humans allowed.

La Jolla rat

A kid who grew up in La Jolla California. Usually spent their days going to windansea and carving their name deep into the rocks. Probably threw bonfires, jumped off pinkwall (a cliff) after smoking js with other locals, and spent their weekends kicking it with homies from highschool. Often got along with most of the residents (The ones that weren't snobby). Much different from the La Jolla kids who do their best to act cool, a La Jolla rat is someone who doesn't care what others think about them.
"Those damn La Jolla rats party at pinkwall and leave beer cans everywhere!"

"Did you just say 1210? What are you some kind of La Jolla rat?"

la jolla high school

La Jolla High School is the public high school for the La Jolla Community in San Diego. The school itself is falling apart, but the field, pool and a few other choice places are pretty nice. The students are a little snobby and there is a tendency towards lots and lots of drugs.
However, it has status as being the second best HS in San Diego. Tons of graduates go to college and univerities.
Real close to UCSD and the beach!

Abbreviation: LJHS

Chula Jolla

A synonym for Chula Vista (East Lake/Otay Ranch) and La Jolla, Ca (San Diego, CA). An urban & native term for San Diegans who are well versed with local economic/real estate values and understand the cojoin of city names. Downtown Chula Vista, CA (91910) resides: South of the State Route(SR) 54, East of the Interstate(I) 5, and West of the I805. It's newly developed Easterly cities (1990s to present) are Otay Ranch and East Lake, CA (91911-15) with some of the highest real estate values starting at U$10 Millions. Considered as Chula Vista, CA these cities are predominately close to the newly built (2007) Southbay Expressway (toll road) SR125. Geographically located by highways: South of the SR54, West/East of the SR125, North of the SR905, and East of the I805.

Like Otay Ranch & East Lake, La Jolla, CA is an affluent town and considered San Diego, CA (Northerly of Downtown San Diego, Ca), and predominately close to the West side of the SR52 & I5 highways. Geographically located by highways: west of SR52, West of I5, north of Pacific Beach, and a few miles south of where the start of Torrey Pines' SR21. There are La Jolla, La Jolla Shores, and La Jolla Village. Some of these properties are in the high U$10 million range with gorgeous ocean and panoramic views. Think of this as a hidden residence: high class, gated communities, but again (no offense to those residents) can house some snobby/elitist/narcistic people who live there too.
East Lake and Otay Ranch, like La Jolla, are cities typically occupied by the higher class, and to use the slang term "Chula Jolla" cojoins them to distinguish a domicile apart from Chula Vista. Especially for a native San Diegan/Chula Vistan, a native lower/middle class can use the term as a slight/light joke "...oh you mean you are from Chula Jolla (East Lake/Otay Ranch) " and raise your nose in the air with your index finger" if that resident seemed to be arrogant/elitist/narcistic. To be taken as a light joke only.

La Jolla

A snobbish, well-heeled town in the San Diego city limits overlooking beautiful coastline and boasting amazing beaches. The city that is home implausibly enough to UCSD, and is known for its elitism, pretention, and subtle hostility to all college students and people who are not upper middle class.
That restaurant was so La Jolla. I can't believe they charged me $7 for a piece of toast!
