Tent City revisits the past, showing the early days of Coronado. Visitors to Coronado could rent a tent and stay on the beach.The hard times of the 1890?? 1/2 ?? 1/2 s depression brought sugar magnate John D. Spreckels into the picture. He fell in love with ?? 1/2 ?? 1/2 The Del?? 1/2 ?? 1/2 and became the sole proprietor by 1892. He built a grand mansion across the street on Glorietta Boulevard and established Tent City south along the strand. Tent City, with bathing facilities, carnival booths, a Ferris Wheel and dance pavilion, appealed to the emerging middle class who couldn?? 1/2 ?? 1/2 t afford the hotel. Unlike the hotel?? 1/2 ?? 1/2 s ?? 1/2 ?? 1/2 season?? 1/2 ?? 1/2 of attracting visitors from cold climates in the winter, Tent City drew a summer crowd from hot inland California and Arizona ?? 1/2 C a pattern that continues today.
