September 10th - A shopping mall is put into the grounds of the old San Diego Naval Training Center - NTC

On a previous visit, we have gone into the Trader Joe's shop in Point Loma.  What I didn't realize was that the shopping mall around it was a very large area covering several blocks and situated on the grounds of what used to be the Navel Training Center in Point Loma.  Someone told us about it and we returned to walk around and what we could see.  Besides stores like Trader Joe's and Vons, There are museums, nightclubs, a comic book shop, a couple of art galleries, and even a Stone Brewing brewery and restaurant.  The grounds are beautiful.  The buildings are period for the training center but brought up to date and all the lawns refurbished.  We saw a bunch of it, and want to go back to see more.  It's pretty fantastic.
