"Busy Street in Hillcrest"

Washington Street is a major conduit into the pedestrian areas of Hillcrest. From the 163 the lights are poorly timed and it is not uncommon to sit through several rounds at some of the traffic lights while waiting to make a left. There isn't much going on on Washington between the 163 and the Hospital and the signage to get into Hillcrest is confusing. However, as long as you don't have someone in an emergency situation trying to get to the hospital in your car it is the best way to get to Hillcrest from the 163.

"too many damned busses"

One is too many, if you get stuck behind it in traffic in a convertible. The existence of public transportation is nice, but sucking hot exhaust on a hot day is unpleasant no matter what. We were almost tempted to put the roof up and crank on the air conditioner. Almost, but not quite.

Looks like it has a few decent decent restaurants and shops. They certainly seemed pretty busy from our spot in the street, but that might just have been the day we were there. Everything seemed kind of busy then.

I hereby decide that Retirees are to blame for the traffic problems that day and recommend the street for everyone but them.

"Washington St drag"

Washington st is a main st connecting Hillcrest and Mission Hills. Here you will find the best pizza in san diego at Bronx Pizza. There is also Ichiban and Sushi deli for Japanese. There are some gay bars along the way as well, as Hillcrest is a predominantly gay neighborhood. This is a very lively street and it is getting more and more ritzy as the years go by.
