San Diego Neighborhood Hangouts: Shopping in North Park

Before suburbia took over San Diego, North Park was the place you did shopping if you weren't downtown. And if you squint while at the corner of University and 30th, you can see vestiges of what once was: retail shops and department stores were the norm (there actually used to be a J.C. Penney department store on the block not too long ago). With the re-invigoration of North Park comes a new generation of shops and boutiques to go along with venerable institutions. It makes for a mix of retail and services worth heading to North Park for some serious shopping.
