It's not nearly as cool as Old Town San Diego is, but it will do. Parking is great. I don't know what I did to please the parking gods in this place, but I always manage to get it great. Lots of shops specializing in southwest and Indian art jewelry. Many many food places. And plenty of space to just walk around and browse. As far as character though, it doesn't have much. Which is probably why I can always find parking here. heh.
