A SoCal Saturday Urban Hike

[Scott Gilmore]

Thanks for an absolutely fascinating and engrossing thread. You have taught us so much about San Diego which we would never have known.
John Basilone certainly died a hero, though it must have been tragic for his young bride Lena to lose him so soon after their marriage.

Good eye, Alex. I tried to get that photo crisp enough to read the plaque's inscription, but I wasn't satisfied with my efforts. Glad to hear you eagle-eyed types could make it out in spite of the photo's quality.

I didn't know Hazard went THAT far back ..
I'm trying to remember some of the funnier named places in Hillcrest.
I delivered an original artwork to my friends Uncle Doug and Aunt Bob a few years back (pre-kilted days).
Carrying paintings on amtrak is not a good idea ...

Yes, Hazard in its evolving iterations have been major players in the construction business in this part of the world for a long time.

As far as humorously named places, well, Hillcrest is, as you probably know, the Gayest `hood south of San Francisco's Mission District. Its eclecticism is a big part of why we live here; those without a thick skin and a generous sense of humor need not apply.

Thanks again one and all.
