In Episode 64, we sit down with Marshall McInerney, son of longtime La Jolla real estate icon Jim McInerney, for a heartfelt and personal journey through what it was like growing up in this extraordinary coastal community.

Marshall shares stories from his childhood bike rides through hidden neighborhood paths, long days at the beach, local traditions, and the small-town charm that has shaped generations of La Jollans. He reflects on the deep roots his family has in the area and how those connections helped shape his appreciation for La Jolla’s rich history, from its early neighborhoods and landmark buildings to the community leaders who helped make it what it is today.

With a unique perspective that blends family legacy, local pride, and lived experience, Marshall gives us an intimate look at the La Jolla most people never see the La Jolla of families, friendships, traditions, and stories passed down over decades.

Join us as Marshall brings the history of La Jolla to life through memories, heritage, and the beauty of growing up in one of California’s most iconic coastal towns.
