Local favorites: Uptown San Diego Edition
Neighborhoods
This historic neighborhood is a large cul-de-sac. Not much of cross traffic but surprisingly close to downtown, zoo, balboa park and the ocean. It is a small town in a big city

Trendy north park, it is a fun diverse neighborhood with restaurants, breweries, art galleries. And of course north of Balboa park. It is a fun place, we lived here for a decade before moving to Kensington.

Salk is probably the person who is responsible for saving billion of life through his vaccination. He opened it up. But the reason I love this place is because it is also designed by one of the most eccentric and impacting architect of all time, Louis Kahn (Check here, https://www.salk.edu/about/buildings-of-wonder/). Now no tour is offered due to COVID but when it is over, please check this master piece.
