  • Still untouched by San Diego’s urban renewal boom, antique stores, second-hand book and record shops, and retro-clothing boutiques are sprinkled along these streets in east Hillcrest and Normal Heights.

  • Head here for Victorian cutglass doorknobs and handles, claw-foot bathtubs, leaded glass, and vintage doors.

  • Men who are looking for a quality tailored jacket and conservative casual wear will find a wide selection at this upscale store.

  • Avenida Revolución

    Keep a sense of humor, bargain hard, and remember: what you see is what you get. You may find some lovely folk art, a decent leather purse, and fine silver jewelry (see Avenida Revolución).

  • Find a wacky item to make you the life of the party. Flashing “Kiss Me” buttons, guns that launch plastic pigs, Wonder Woman memorabilia, and Tikis are the favorites.

  • This independent bookstore has helpful staff, an ample selection of books of local interest and international papers and magazines.

  • Lining a lushly landscaped plaza decorated in brilliant colors, quality shops offer Mexican tableware, folk art, Guatemalan textiles, and books (see Bazaar del Mundo).

  • Devoted to the art of the dinner table, handmade and name brand and home accessories are beautifully displayed for inspiration.

  • For nearly 50 years, the Loma Movie Theater presented Hollywood’s greatest epics. In 1990, the theater was transformed into a grand bookstore. Well-stocked shelves sit on various levels as the floor steps down toward the former screen; the original ceiling still exists; and the carpet was specially milled to match the original.

  • Shop for bargains in one of the most pleasant outlet centers around. The Gap, DKNY, Banana Republic, and Crate and Barrel are all here.
