How did downtown San Diego become what it is today? In her continuing series "San Diego's Evolving Downtown," KPBS Metro reporter Katie Orr looks at a variety of influences on the city's urban core.
I was instumental in helping downtown San Diego clean up down town San Diego in the early to mid 80's. THe company I worked for bought several locations downtown and turned them over to the city. I'd like to see the city STAY in the "Gas Lamp" mode and all history with it. There are SEVERAL buildings downtown that have the old metal ceilings coverd up by drywall and drop ceilings. It would be nice to renew them. Many are right on 5th where my office was...still is but hidden!
Great video! I enjoyed learning about the history of downtown San Diego.
