Horton Plaza
Occupying 15 blocks, the neighborhood is named after its main resident,
Horton Plaza, a multi-level, outdoor shopping and entertainment center. Opened in 1985, Horton Plaza offers 130 specialty shops, restaurants, a movie theatre, and performing arts theatre. Well known for its whimsical and vibrantly colored design, Horton Plaza was created to resemble a European market place and function like an amusement park with colorful pathways, bridges and staggered levels.

Lyceum Theater is home to the
San Diego Repertory Theatre, which produces a six-play run each season featuring comedies and dramas exploring cultural diversity. www.sandiegorep.com
