For most of South San Diego, you may not have know it, but last Saturday we were living in Al Alvarado’s world. On June 23, Al celebrated his 80th birthday and the City of San Diego, National City, and Chula Vista, along with a Congressional Proclamation declared it “Al Alvarado Day.” There was quite an impressive list of dignitaries who honored Al. He was even named an honorary police officer of National City.
