One nice thing about areas like this back in the day is that they were more family oriented with family-friendly prices. Everything is so fancy and expensive in San Diego now.
My dad and mom used to take us to Felippe's for the bread, mortadella and provolone, Italian cookies and almond candy. We would then go to the airport and look through the chain link fence at the airplanes landing. Fun!
Hey CBS 8 these old news features are really cool thank you very much for posting them
35 years was a long wait, but Little Italy has become the jewel in San Diego’s crown these days.

Took 30 years to do those things.

Filippe’s is the only place I will order pizza from, and I have to drive from Orange County. It’s that good.
You just described any given Saturday for us as kids. Those were the days.
I grew up on Columbia street and went to Washington Elementary school 👍
The old houses look like the ones in Edmontons little italy.
Sickening what’s happened to it today.
Revitalized and made pedestrian oriented, just as they were hoping?
@@breckrichardson390 Yeah I guess so. Funny how they thought that was the end. I worked right there in ~1987-89 or so.
