San Diego Walking Tour: Downtown La Mesa

Like in most of the old neighborhood business districts, antiques shops are usually the first businesses to establish a foothold in the storefronts. They are usually the places that give the old downtowns their flavor, and La Mesa is no different. There are still quite a few shops downtown to go antiquing, especially along the stretch along the heart of La Mesa Blvd. between Spring Street and Allison Street. One of the more interesting shops is Collectiquity - if you're in the market for mid-century collectibles, especially the 1940-50's style kitchen dinette sets, this shop is a great place to start.
