A Bright Red and Green Apples at the entrance to the farmers market in Little Italy, waiting to be bitten into and to tantalize the taste buds of any victim willing to buy! San Diego, California
.................
Little Italy is a somewhat hilly neighborhood in Downtown San Diego, California that was originally a predominately Italian fishing neighborhood. It has since been gentrified and now Little Italy is a scenic neighborhood composed mostly of Italian restaurants, Italian retail shops, home design stores, art galleries, and residential units.
.......................
In fact, in square blocks, San Diego�s Little Italy is bigger than San Francisco�s,
St. Louis� and New York�s combined. And that�s after having its heart bisected by Interstate 5. That happened more than 40 years ago�when San Diegans called it the Crosstown Freeway. But for the natives of Little Italy, the pain is still acute. Ask anyone who lived or worked here before the freeway came, and they�ll tell you it was a disaster for the neighborhood.
.........................
Little Italy is one of the more active downtown neighborhoods and has frequent festivals and events including a weekly farmers market, also known as the Mercato (the Market, in Italian). The neighborhood has low crime rates when compared with other neighborhoods in Downtown San Diego and is maintained by the Little Italy Neighborhood Association, which looks after trash collection, decorations, and special events.
