Downtown San Diego City Lights

By
Industry Observer with Retired

Visiting Downtown San Diego on any evening can be an engaging experience. Amongst all the building lights and the wonderful street lighting there is a feeling of safety not always found in other big cities. The downtown is positioned on the San Diego Bay and fronted on two sides by water. The amount of housing has been steadily increasing over the last decade. It seems the more people that call downtown home, the safer it looks and feels. 

The Gaslamp Quarter which has the largest collection of restaurants on the planet, generates so much activity, the nighttime on the street looks like Manhattan in the daylight hours. Except instead of rushing around to get somewhere, the patrons are hanging out like food and drink are free and it is party time. And for most of them, it is. So naturally there are lots of lights and activity and it all adds to the beauty of the downtown San Diego.

Beautiful photo and lovely description.  Alone they are not much.  Together, they mean "come visit".

Having lived there for 10 years, it always brings back memories. What I particularly like about it is a broader scale of the beauty of the city. It is a reminder that clients connect with much more than just the home they are in or about to purchase, but also the community.

 

Great pic!

Looks so crisp and clean.  Wish the San Diego Mayor was just as crisp and clean!

The picture of San Diego is beautiful. The sky line is one of the prettiest that I have seen. I am sure that you have a tremendous amount of visitors each year.

William, once again, I will be in San Diego between Aug 3-6 and thinking if I could meet some of you!

I love Gaslamp Quarters and there is a good Indian restaurant there (Actually there are a few).

(Yes, I'll say Hi to Brian Buffini)

Great photo, William!  Where did you take this photo from?  I'm coming to San Diego next week and would love to see the city from that perspective - and maybe try to get my own photo....  Thanks!

What a beautiful photo.  I spent a few days in San Diego 17 years ago and am surprised I have not made it back yet.
