Images of San Diego (Nice: condos, safe area, living in)

Just a few shots of another favorite 'hood of mine - University Heights




The always cool Cream Coffee Bar. Open late Coffee Rules Everything Around Me




Vinbladh's is a cool little Swedish coffee/dessert spot in a converted house. It's open till 1:00am everyday. vinbladhkafe.com




Parkhouse Eatery is a great neighborhood joint. Long lines on weekends during the day. Parkhouse Eatery - Sign On San Diego . com


Twiggs Coffeeshop used to have live acoustic music until the neighbors complained, now there the Green Room is used only for comedy and meetings. Still a great hangout, though. San Diego Gourmet Commercial Bakery Specialty Cakes California CA Coffee House Custom Made Desserts


Neighborhood is a hipster boutique around the corner from Cream Neighbourhood Boutique - San Diego


Electrical boxes throughout the central neighborhoods have been painted by local artists.




Soltan Banoo is another lively restaurant serving Persian Cuisine in a former house. Soltan Banoo Restaurant


I've always loved this house


Trolley Barn Park




View of Mission Valley below from the park's edge




Sidewalk marker on Adams Ave.


View from the Texas St. overpass


More random views of Mission Valley from the canyon rim




Apparently, you can still walk the old trails leading down to the valley below




Canyon rim homes


I don't think I'd want to live on the edge like that. Can someone say, earthquake? Looking into the glare towards Mission Bay






Hope you enjoyed the tour!

In LA our artists are gangster's who tag boxes with gang symbols and ugly stuff like that. I live in one of the nicest areas and just noticed a brand new tagging on a box.

Don't worry, we've got those too. But I've never seen any in the nicer areas.

Oops, I just realized that I labeled a couple of photos incorrectly in the original post. Below are the 2 photos with the correct descriptions.

The houses on the rim, those remind me of houses hanging off the cliffs in La Jolla, nice view but that's too crazy.

The pic of traffic heading north on the 805... you sure you weren't IN L.A.? LOL

Great pics as always.

I've seen taggings in nice neighborhoods in San Diego, one is Tierrasanta but it's usually a name or a tag crew but they get painted over after a couple days. That was in 2002, the last year I lived in SD.

Great pictures! I live in San Diego and I'm so proud of how beautiful it here. I'll add a few of mine, if I can find any that are different.
