San Diego's urban core is the action-oriented central marketplace of multicultural pleasures. It will become more than the marvelous Gaslamp, as it continues to attract more live entertainment, cosmopolitan eating experiences and animated interaction. Incredible San Francisco provides the palette for this cultural genesis. Cultural facilities are becoming better as old theaters are renovated. Wayne Ratkovich, the great Los Angeles redeveloper of the Wiltern Theatre, told me how much he longs to develop ideas and places in San Diego.
Balboa Park is connected with our cultural splendor and is easily accessible.
We have what are commonly called tourist places, but they are really much more. They are the reason Little Italy and the El Cortez spring to life for full-time locals. This is the place for untiring retirees who do not wish to vegetate. I've been fortunate to observe other geographies, places and cultures around the world, and never has there been so rare an opportunity for so many peoples to be connected as here and now. I write this as a professional who has brought many millions of dollars into investments in many parts of the globe.
