| North Park's Hammond's Ice Cream Parlor |
WE’RE NUMBER ONE—If you don’t live in the historic San
Diego neighborhoods of North Park or South Park you might not be privy to a intramural
competition among locals as to which is the best ‘hood?
South
Parkers claim a tad more sophistication when it comes to retail and community
ambience, while North Parkers feel like the older sibling: I was here first and
what is here is best, especially a huge, I mean really huge inventory of
vintage Arts & Crafts bungalows, a
collection so large that editor and founder of American Bungalow magazine told a San Diego writer that North Park
has the largest number of differing types of craftsman bungalows in the nation.
But, the one-upmanship
is moot.
Both ‘hoods
are rich in hipster amenities like hot restaurants, top retail and gonzo craft
beer emporiums.
So, the
results are in. We have a tie.
It’s a tie--not
because of political correctness by a namby pamby writer—but the real reason is
both have what it is needed to be a winning neighborhood: one fabulous ice
cream parlor each.
End of
story.
