Unique Ways to Celebrate Valentine's Day in San Diego

Looking for a new way -- aside from chocolates and flowers -- to share Valentine’s Day this year with your partner in crime?

The Headquarters, the revitalized former San Diego Police headquarters in downtown San Diego, is hosting such a unique Valentine’s Day bash it’s criminal. It will include an outdoor showing of the classic movie, “Bonnie & Clyde,” along with picture-taking in the 1939 jail cells.

Come early for cocktails and chocolates and bring a chair or blanket for the screening. The movie starts at 6 p.m. Friday and the best part is that it’s free.
