Old Tree in Old Town San Diego

As we travel around, we see a few towns and cities that take advantage of their "old" downtown sections and others that neglect the area which then becomes an eyesore. San Diego has long supported and beautified their oldest part of town. Many of the old buildings have been restored and as a result, the area is a beehive of activity. When we lived in Mesa, Arizona, we would frequently visit San Diego, now a trip to Southern Califonia is a rare event.
