Five Things: Freaks and Fillies

Coronado is not the only place to be this week: Try Del Mar, downtown San Diego and Imperial Beach.

Not everything that's going on happens in Coronado this week.

The region's pop culture event of the year kicks off Thursday as the cool kids join with the freaks and geeks for Comic Con just across the bridge.

For more traditional San Diego fare, you can turn to Del Mar as the surf hits the turf, meaning: It's time for horse racing! And for Imperial Beach's top to-do, just head down the Strand for sand castles galore.
