North Park Main Street

The events that bring life and commerce to North Park are often the work of Angela Landsberg, the director of North Park Main Street. She and one full time and two part time staff members work tirelessly and with amazing focus to pull off some seriously cool (and very profitable to local business) events like the giant screen soccer event last summer.
It’s hard to imagine the number of details they deal with to bring so much life and fun to these events that take place in our little corner of San Diego. Events like A Taste of North Park and others. This sends a strong message to the City of San Diego and to the community that this neighborhood is on the move and ready to compete!
NPMS sends an interesting monthly email newsletter that covers some of the coolest most interesting businesses and events. I read it carefully every month. And trust me I don’t read spam or anything that smells remotely like it. NPMS is the mirror that reflects the progress of creative businesses that take on new paradigms that work, businesses that define local culture and reveal the desires and values of a generation of terribly hip people that are not afraid of a challenge.
I am impressed with how much this organization has helped propel the rapid expansion and gentrification of «cool» to the 30^th and University area. I live here. This is my neighborhood. The buzz is these changes are bolstering our real estate values. That is a very big deal for our community.
The significance of BID Council and Main Street organizations like this run by people like Angela Landsberg is of incalculable value, and it appears that the City of San Diego has caught wind of this and has taken notice. The City in my opinion is wise to give support to NPMS and the Business Improvement District. The investment comes right back in business revenues, taxes and taxes on higher real estate values. Smart move on the part of Mayor Faulconer and particularly Ron Roberts who has been a big supporter of North Park Main Street.

North Park also known as No Park is awesome! Yeah a lot of the time there’s no parking, but you got to admit this is a cool neighborhood that has The Coin-​Op Gameroom, Urban Solace, Urbn Pizza, Subterranean Coffee Boutique. And 30 on 30^th was an awesome event, I don’t think Third Thursdays are as cool.
But it’s cool that they have a third thursday and I forgot Claire De Lune which is a pretty cool coffee house that’s a music spot as well. 30^th on 30^th was an awesome event, I haven’t had as good a time at Third Thursday. It’s cool that they have Third Thursdays though. Also Super Cocina is a really good mexican restaurant and sometimes I go to the Soda Bar.

It’s got a good mix of bars, restaurants and shops. It’s like Garnet in PB, but with denim jackets and fixed gear bikes instead of beach cruisers and meat heads. ;-)

We love North Park! These guys have helped put on some cool events to make sure North Park stays on of the hippest towns in the country. From the art festival to the Taste of North Park, you can always count on a good time!

Very nice people and they seem to genuinely want to help you with any issues concerning the neighborhood.
Way to go guys.
