		Like Baltimore's Inner Harbor and Denver's LoDo, the historic Gaslamp Quarter, so named for its reproduction gas streetlamps, is the most obvious party place in San Diego.
		Back in the bad old days around the turn of the last century, the area was a red light district known as the Stingaree -- some say after a nasty type of local fish, but the general idea was that your average rube could get stung pretty bad hanging around here.
		And at the turn of this century, the Gaslamp is again in transition.

	San Diego History
		The Gaslamp District could stand as an architectural oasis in the shadow of today's high-rise buildings, providing historical and cultural perspective to both eras and reviving an economically decayed area.
		The emphasis of the proposed Planned District is to foster economic revitalization, retain the unique turn of the century architectural character of the area, and encourage pedestrian oriented uses, including boutiques, galleries, street vendors, cultural facilities, and apartments and offices on the upper floors.
		Therefore, various kinds and degrees of recognition are required, and the success of the Gaslamp Quarter Planned District will depend upon the broad interest and involvement of property owners, improvement associations and the public at large.
