National City, a city of about 56,000 people in San Diego County, sits on San Diego Bay between San Diego and Chula Vista. Part of Naval Base San Diego lies within the city, and the Port of San Diego's National City Marine Terminal is one of the busiest vehicle import terminals on the West Coast.
The Mile of Cars along National City Boulevard is one of the largest auto-dealer districts in the region, and Westfield Plaza Bonita draws South Bay shoppers. I-5, I-805 and CA-54 run through the city and the San Diego Trolley Blue Line stops here, so billboards reach Navy personnel, commuters and a largely Hispanic and Filipino community.
