University Avenue! by lmkluque
One--city--block south of Adams Avenue is El Cajon Boulevard and one--city--block south of The Boulevard is University Avenue. Now don't worry, my intention is not to give a tip about every street in San Diego, my intention is to give an idea of the city east of downtown and the streets I've mentioned played a big role in it's history and in expanding the boundries of the city.
Trolley tracks were laid on University Avenue in 1907 and this made an impact on the development of this area. Remember the Trolley Carbarn Park on Adams?
University Avenue grew much in the same way as The Boulevard and in much the same way University Avenue is on the threshold of becoming revived.
The trolley tracks are gone now and University Avenue is traveled by car. North Park is the community this road runs through and though it might appear, in sections, to be a seedy part of town, the community is working heard to revitalize the area and it's reputation is beginning to change.Claire de Lune Coffee Lounge

This modified Spanish Revival style building created in 1927 is a sample of the direction being taken by the community living along University Avenue. Reviving the past beauty and housing a community oriented business was the goal for Claire de Lune Coffee Lounge and it seems to be succeeding! Come in and see for yourself.
