The pictures will not be focusing on architecture as much because these were taken with the cyclist people in mind, and were taken while I was on my bicycle.
They are also quite old, 2+ years ago. I didn't have a very good camera back then and the first half is especially has too much glare. The pictures will also show the not so nice parts of town.
Think of this as the everyman's perspective of the urban part of the city
We turn left at this intersection to University Ave, the main thoroughfare that we are gonna be taking.
My favourite mexican food place to your right. Cheap and open 24 hours.
We are now a tenth of a mile from home. The centre business district(of the neighborhood of North Park) is just up that small hill.
More art deco architecture now. We are now half a mile from home. We are turning left on that intersection because I had to mail something at the post office that day.
Central North Park. You can also see the the newly reopened North Park Theater(pink orange building with those spires, sorta).
New condo development. This has been completed, as far as I know.
A better view of the actual street we're on.
Auntie Helen's Thrift Shop.
We're back on the road. We're turning right on that intersection, back to University. You can also see the new mixed use parking garage behind the bank(right).
A closer look at the sign and theater. More art deco overload. This is about .8 of a mile from home.
We're out of the central business district of the North Park community and we're heading to a different community now, Hillcrest.
Ouch, my eyes.
We made it. We are now entering Hillcrest.
Across another freeway bridge.
We're getting coser to the "heart" of Hillcrest. Thats an SBS antannae thinggie to your left.
More traffic...ahhhh....good thing we're turning left at the next intersection.
Much better angle. You can actually see something now.
Hillcrest sign
Let's wait for this bus.
Time to go home.
Left to Park Boulevard to University Heights!
Not as exciting as University Avenue but quieter and wider.
University Heights.
Right we go towards Adams.
You can see what kind of housing stock there is in the nicer areas of Uptown.
Trolley Barn park to the left.
More housing stock.
Freeway bridge
Overlooking Mission Valley. We are actually at the edge of a mesa right now. Mission valley is suburbanite paradise.
Looking down the bridge. That's Texas street. And yes, that's a man in a black outfit to your right. Walking on a shoulder of a highspeed roadway.
We are now in Normal Heights.
Historic Antique Row.
More traffic.
Normal Heights.
And right we go once we get to 35th. You will see more housing stock of the middle class areas, up to the transition zone to the ghettos.
The End.
