San Diego

California, United States

San Diego's downtown grid is rotated about 45° off cardinal, so streets line up with the sun on a different schedule from most other US cities. Combined with the long Pacific horizon to the west and the Mediterranean climate, it's one of the most reliable cities in the country to actually catch a planned alignment.
