A further View of San Diego: Little Italy
This is a nice look at a popular area of town.

This area of town was once the home to the Tuna fishermen, who were Italian Americans. They were at the heart of something that the city has partially lost. Though we still have some tuna ships on the harbor. This little corner of San Diego is known for its walkable areas, as well as its restaurants. Many are shuttered these days, and who knows when they will be able to open.
Some are open, for delivery only. One had a security guard, who was taking the food to the hungry customers waiting in the street. Why? That way none could get in and mingle with the staff. These are the kinds of changes that we are seeing in our fair city.
We walked up and down a few blocks, observing little traffic, either foot or vehicle traffic. This is critical because people seem to be listening to the stay at home orders, even if the day was warm and bright.
