Downtown San Diego’s Historic Gaslamp Quarter
It began in the 1870’s with Alonzo Horton and the building of a wharf at the foot of 5th Avenue to accommodate trade and commerce. Today, this 16.5 block neighborhood is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. There are 94 structures identified as historically and architecturally significant and they currently house over 100 restaurants, nightclubs, shops offices, galleries and live/work lofts. Restoration of the historic Balboa Theatre is underway (update - restoration is complete) and several new retail, residential and commercial projects are also planned for this area.
This area is vibrant and alive with tourists and locals alike every night of the week. It is a simple stroll from the Convention Center and is a favorite attraction for young and old.

I was sent this 8 year old article
A Dozen Dynamite Reasons Why Downtown San Diego Will Fragrantly Blossom This Decade
by the writer Alan Nevin and found it incredibly accurate then and still applicable today. I have been saying for years that this is a city whose time has come and despite the current economic speed bumps, there are no permanent roadblocks to stop the eventual completion of downtown. I have met and talked with several developers and their faith and investment in San Diego is still strong.
Now is the time for those people waiting on the sidelines who did not jump in and join the frenzy to come out and buy. Prices have fallen to 2004 and 2005 levels. Will they go lower? Maybe. Mostly they will fall in the less desirable buildings. Regardless, don’t get greedy, get rich in real estate and shop downtown.

As if those of us who are lucky enough to live and work here didn’t already know it, but San Diego is one of the 10 must visit cities in the world for 2008.
Maybe this is just another arbitrary list and subjective award, but we think we deserve it.
How could we not? We have a temperate year round climate, waterfront location, gorgeous beaches, San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld and the list goes on and on. San Diego is the best kept secret that just got out.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then this video speaks volumes describing and depicting the power of the waterfront and the rise of downtown San Diego. For so many reasons and so many people, downtown San Diego is emerging as the most exciting city on the western seaboard and the growth is amazing with no end in sight.
