San Diego ~ Old Town
Old Downtown San Diego
On a recent visit to San Diego, my early arrival gave me the chance to peruse the old section of downtown San Diego, and some of the unique architecture one might find there. My favorite was the beautifully restored Balboa Theater, which sits, ironically, surrounded by a very modern multi-story shopping mall. Here, the steets are reflected in the glass of its entryway.
Considered the birthplace of California, the ‘new’ Old Town San Diego is said to have had its first structures in about 1850, believed to be a market, but true development of this section of town didn’t start in earnest until 1868.
Shot in the early morning, it's not usually as empty and calm as the photo might imply.
