Might want to consider removing Be sure to visit Bread & Cie for the best bread this side of the puddle because it promotes a business.

I'm sorry, but this is a pretty poor article. Instead of the cut-and-pasted timeline, how about more details on the community—it's history, geography, people, etc. Dananderson 07:54, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

I've tried to address both of the issues raised above. The new version has no mention of Bread & Cie. The timeline has been shortened and made more relevant. And I have devoted more space to a description of all aspects of Hillcrest. (April 1, 2006)

The current version still sounds like an ad or a travel brochure. I'll go ahead and wikify it.--Chicbicyclist 00:18, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

It also reads like a brochure for the gay rights activists of San Diego. I don't really see how "significant events" for gay, lesbian and trans-genders is relevant to an article about this neighborhood. I also dont see how the opening of a pedestrian bridge or a book fair qualify as significant events for the gay community.

Umm, the neighborhood is the center of gay activities in the city. Hillcrest is largely about LGBTs for the most part. It won't be "Hillcrest" without them. As for the brige and other stuff, I somewhat agree with you.--Chicbicyclist 19:31, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Too rosy a picture!

All these SoCal entries paint such a sugar coated picture. No crime, no homelessness, no poverty or unemployment. Andrew Cunanan never existed. Judging from these entries, there's a rainbow in the sky all the time! Must be nice to live in such a sunny Utopia! --24.249.108.133 22:17, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
