The Gaslamp Quarter is a district of San Diego, California. It is a 16½ block historical neighborhood in Downtown San Diego, and is the site of several entertainment and night life venues, as well as scheduled events and festivals, including Mardi Gras in the Gaslamp, Street Scene Music Festival, Taste of Gaslamp and ShamROCK, a St. Patrick's Day event. Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres is located one block away in downtown San Diego's East Village.
The area is listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places as Gaslamp Quarter Historic District. Its main period of development began in 1867, when Alonzo Horton bought the land in hopes of creating a new city center closer to the bay, and chose 5th Avenue as its main street. After a period of urban decay, the neighborhood underwent urban renewal in the 1980s and 1990s.
The Gaslamp Quarter extends from Broadway to Harbor Drive, and from 4th to 6th Avenue, covering 16½ blocks. It includes 94 historic buildings, most of which were constructed in the Victorian Era, and are still in use with active tenants including restaurants, shops and nightclubs.
"Gaslamp District" is the more commonly used name of the neighborhood by local San Diegans, while "Gaslamp Quarter", despite being on the entryway arch and all official city signage and banners, is rarely used by locals. The use of "Gaslamp District" is so pervasive by locals that it has become a shibboleth to determine who is a local San Diegan and who is a tourist.
Downtown San Diego is the city center of San Diego, California, the eighth largest city in the United States. In 2010, the Centre City area had a population of more than 28,000. Downtown San Diego serves as the cultural and financial center and central business district of San Diego, with more than 4,000 businesses and nine districts. The downtown area is the home of the San Diego Symphony and the San Diego Opera as well as multiple theaters and several museums. The San Diego Convention Center and Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres, are also located downtown. Downtown San Diego houses the major local headquarters of the city, county, state, and federal governments.

Used to live there in early 90’s (Maureen O’Connor was the mayor). Love the city and surrounding area, America’s Finest at its best. Hopefully the Padres stay in SD. Thank you for the video.

Can't wait to go back to downtown when covid is overs and go back to work at the convention center

I feel you bro. I'm up in the Bay Area, so many things I want to do but cannot right now. I miss just sitting in a crowded park or by the water just people watching or going out and hanging with friends without masks and an air of paranoia around everything. Wasting my life sitting at home right now

Too bad you did this video during the pandemic. For people who haven’t been to San Diego, there is more life in the city than this video.
