DAY TRIPPING
Go for the Art. Stay for the Tacos. Barrio Logan is San Diego’s joyful celebration of Chicano culture. By Desirée Guerrero
O
nly a two-hour drive south of Los Angeles, San Diego offers southern California locals the perfect one-day getaway with its eclectic array of unique neighborhoods to explore. One well worth the drive is Barrio Logan, located just south of the barand club-filled Gaslamp District and a short Uber ride from San Diego’s lively gayborhood, Hillcrest. The barrio’s former industrial strip is now alive with galleries and art collectives in converted old warehouses. Popular eateries and beautifully colorful public art line the street. Yet the neighborhood is a welcome reprieve from the square-icecubed cocktails served by mustached hipsters we’ve come to expect from many gentrified hotspots.
