Little Italy San Diego California Video

April 20th, 2011

Little Italy is one of my favorite areas in Downtown San Diego. It’s not just the great food either it’s the great atmosphere Little Italy San Diegoas well. Little Italy in San Diego was also part of the last San Diego Real Estate Boom and many new condos and town houses were built in the Little Italy part of Downtown San Diego. There are lots of great shops to go shopping or just look around.

This is a great area to spend a weekend afternoon to stroll up and down the main street called India Street. Some of the well known restaurants are Filippi’s Pizza Grotto, Mimmo’s Italian Village, Landini’s Pizzeria and many others. There’s also lots of sidewalk dining that is very romantic and quite enjoyable. Very similar to some areas in the Gaslamp Quarter down by PETCO Park home of the San Diego Padres.

Little Italy in Downtown San Diego, California also has many events where the India Street is closed down for pedestrians. If you live in San Diego or if you’re visiting San Diego make sure you stop by Little Italy. You’ll be happy you did.

This video is of Little Italy and most of it was filmed looking south on India Street.

South San Diego Home Prices Summer 2010

September 1st, 2010

San Diego Real Estate Blog

Homes for sale in South San DiegoHome prices in most areas of South San Diego have come up in value since last summer. Homes in most zip codes rose in 2010 and in the zip codes where it dropped it only dropped a little. This is a good sign for the real estate market in southern San Diego and the overall San Diego home prices have on average gone up since last year at the same time. As usual the short sales have extremely long market times and can prove to be very trying for even the most seasoned of short sale experts.

The bank owned foreclosures and REO properties are still moving the fastest and seem to get many offers from investors edging out the first time home buyers and families who want to buy a home to live in. Some areas in South County have renewed their new home building programs and new home builders are throwing up the sticks again. Otay Ranch still has thousands of homes that are slated to be built sometime in the future. I’m sure the when depends on how soon the real estate market improves and shows steady growth. Many new home builders lost their properties and unfinished homes to the banks and they don’t want to make that mistake again. The bubble has long since broken and many homeowners are in the middle of a short sale or wish they were. Some home owners are in the middle of a foreclosure and looking for a rental to get out and start over. There’s always a next time.

The biggest house value gains were in National City while the most amount of loss was in Imperial Beach. Chula Vista areas like 91910, 91911 and 91914 had slight gains while zips 91913 and 91915 had slight declines in home values. With the economy not improving and the state of California in dire straits the real estate market can’t truly solidify and grow until the economy does and what we need to see that happen are jobs.

World War II Bomber Airplane Found at Bottom of Otay Lake in EastLake Chula Vista

August 29th, 2010

Navy SB2C Helldiver in Otay Lake Chula VistaSan Diego Real Estate Blog

Lower Otay Lake - Chula Vista California - August 2010

Who would believe that there was a World War II Bomber at the bottom of Lower Otay Lake in Eastern Chula Vista? I’ve fished this lake many times and hiked the hills around it for many years and never once imagined there was an airplane at the bottom of it let alone a rare Navy SB2C Helldiver. I can remember coming out to the Upper and Lower Otay Lakes back in the late 1980’s and all through the early 1990’s long before the real estate boom when homes sprung up around the lakes edges. I can remember cattle covering the fields and grazing on early misty mornings and lazy afternoons. It was more like a western scene from 100 years ago, long before there was an EastLake. When I first heard about the World War II Bomber in the Lower Otay Lake I immediately wondered how it got there and why it was being pulled out.

I had just finished up a round of golf at the EastLake Greens Golf Course on Saturday when my friend John brought up the airplane in the lake. I said let’s go see if it’s still there. We took a drive from the golf course through EastLake Greens on World War II War Plane Chula Vista LakeHunte Parkway and a right down Otay Lakes Road. We turned right onto Wueste Road and through EastLake Vistas down to the Lower Otay Lake. We knew right away that it was still there from the amount of cars parked along-side the road and the carnival like excitement on the people’s faces walking to and from the closed parking lot. We saw the erect white arm of the giant crane used to pull the Helldiver from its wet and muddy grave. As we parked and walked closer we saw the grey plane sitting on the rocky shoreline of the lake next to the fishing dock. Needless to say it looked pretty cool. My friend and I are both former Marines and this made out for an exciting encounter with a piece of military history. Kind of like meeting a war hero the likes of Chesty Puller or Dan Daly, although they are long dead this military hero was brought to life from its long dark and muddy sleep. This war plane had never seen combat but if its fait were of different circumstance I know it would have.

For the full story, much better than I could tell it please visit the Naval Aviation Museum Web Site for all the information on the Helldiver history and what’s going to happen to it.
