"Cute Antique type strip in Normal Heights"

There are lots of Antique shops going down Adams ave. in Normal Heights. This is a rather long street going from Normal Heights to kensington. Along the way is the vegetarian restaraunt Jhodi Bihanga (spell?) and the old movie theatre Landmarks' Ken. There is also kensington video which has every film you could ever possibly think of renting. This street has tons of character.

"Gorgeous touristy drive"

Park Boulevard runs through San Diego's famous Balboa Park. It is a beautiful place to see Old mission architecture and to visit some of San Diego's museums. It is the main cultural center in san diego. Because the weather is always lovely you will find lots of people biking and flying kites. This is a great place to bring the kids.

"BEACH BUMS GALORE"

The vibe on this street is very young, mostly college freshman types who love to surf and drink. There are tons of raucous pubs and bars. In the side streets you may find some nicer laid back cafe's for when the students and sobered up and need to actually study, but watch out because at night it is a very crazy environment.

"Noisy Surfer street"

Grand Avenue Is the main drag in Pacific Beach. The traffic can e horrible and it is filled with college kids who are often very rowdy. They will run out in front of your car so you should be very careful. Pacific Beach is known for it's "low culture" of beach bars and hoochie shopping stores.

"Washington Heights decadent."

This is a very steep little street with beautiful homes that have been skyrocketing in market value in recent years. At the top of this street there is a mansion with a beautifully landscaped topiary. It is very quiet, yet located very close to downtown san diego and to hillcrest. It is an easy walk to Gelato Vero cafe and Saffron Thai food.

"Cute and quiet neighborhood near Hillcrest"

Bachman place is a lovely little street. There is some traffic coming up the hill from people who exit off of the freeway in order to enter the washington heights or hillcrest neighborhoods. You are very near the UCSD shuttle here and many students live in this neighborhood in order to commute.

Miramar Road is named Miramar because the entrance to the Miramar Air Base is located on this st. The street spans 6 lanes and is quiet trafficky.

Also, many college kids commute to UC San diego along this route.

"Busy Mira Mesa Commuter st"

This st is a busy commuter street in Mira Mesa. Mira Mesa was originally designed as a business area, but so many commuters now reside in the area that it has become insanely overcrowded. Mira Mesa Blvd is often bumper to bumper with residents during rush hour. The neighborhood suffers because of this and it is not a quiet and peaceful environment at all.

"A Hillcrest Haven"

The area of 8th avenue I am reviewing is in Hillcrest. I lived right next to Chipotle at the corner of 8th and university for 3 years. This is a very noisy neighborhood and there is a bit of seediness on 8th avenue in particular because there are some cheaper living establishments such as the friendship hotel. However in recent years they have also built some fancy condos on this block which have cleaned things up, though made them a bit more yuppy.

There is tons to do and you can walk around. Parking is difficult. Also nearby is the downtown library.

Under the williamsburg bridge runs Kent avenue. It is a nice quiet haven...lots of underground music venues and hip eateries.

"Hectic tourist trap"

Once a haven for degenerates and still a haven for degenerates of a different kind, Times Square is chock full of business men and tourists. The bright lights have overshadowed the strip joints and the area is New York's very own disneyland. The food is horribly mainstream, overpriced and unhealthy. What ever you do stay away on New Years eve.

Ludlow St is frequented by young hipsters who pay too much on vintage clothing. Everyone seems to be a parody of themselves in this neighborhood.
