What is the setting in the book Mexican WhiteBoy?

As a
San Diego native myself, is a really fun read because the author has
flooded the text with a rich knowledge of San Diego. Most readers will assume that the text is
set in present day times. The book was published in 2008, so it make sense to think it takes
place around that year; however, there is at least one indicator that the author is setting the
story prior to 2008.

At one point in the story, Danny goes to the "Del
Mar Fair." The fair has been a San Diego staple for over a century, but it was renamed the
"San Diego County Fair" in 2002. With that said, Danny goes to Petco Park at one point
in the story, but the San Diego Padres didn't use that stadium until 2004. This would indicate
that Danny and his friends use the "Del Mar Fair" name out of sentiment.

Danny attends a school in Leucadia, which is a real suburb in San Diego County. It is
located along the Interstate 5 corridor just south of Carlsbad and Legoland. It is nearly 30
miles north...
