'''Convoy Street''' in [[San Diego]], California, also known as just "Convoy", refers to a neighborhood and area in a community called [[Kearny Mesa]]. |
|||
The Convoy Street area is known as the home to a diverse community of Asian-owned businesses. There are communities along University Avenue and in [[Linda Vista, San Diego, California|Linda Vista]] that have predominantly Vietnamese businesses and Filipino business communities that are somewhat prevalent in areas like [[National City, California|National City]] and [[Mira Mesa, San Diego, California|Mira Mesa]]. However for the most part, none of these places are locally referred to as "Filipinotowns" or "Vietnamesetowns". |
|||
Convoy is unique in that there are many diverse businesses that are owned and representative of all the different Asian cultures. There are many [[Cuisine of Korea|Korean]], [[Japanese cuisine|Japanese]], [[Cuisine of Vietnam|Vietnamese]], [[Chinese cuisine|Chinese]], and [[Cuisine of Thailand|Thai]] eating establishments that are scattered across the Convoy Street area. One can enjoy anything ranging from [[Bubble tea|boba milk teas]], [[BBQ]], [[seafood]], [[pho]], and [[ramen]]. Moreover, there are many markets that cater to all the different cultures including [[99 Ranch Market]] on the north end (along Clairemont Mesa Boulevard), Zion Market and [[Mitsuwa Marketplace]] in the east/central areas (near Balboa Ave, along the Hwy. 163 side), or the Nijiya market on the south end (just before crossing the I-805 overpass past Aero Dr.). |
|||
Convoy is located close to the heart of San Diego county and is situated between the communities of [[Clairemont, San Diego, California|Clairemont]] to the west, [[Tierrasanta, San Diego, California|Tierrasanta]] to the east, [[Miramar, San Diego, California|Miramar]]/[[Mira Mesa, San Diego, California|Mira Mesa]] to the north, and [[Linda Vista, San Diego, California|Linda Vista]]/[[Serra Mesa, San Diego, California|Serra Mesa]] to the south. The area is bordered by the major highways of San Diego. Kearny Mesa can generally be pictured as an area described as an upside down triangle: where [[California State Route 52|Highway 52]] borders the top side on the north and the two other sides being represented by [[Interstate 805]] to the west and [[California State Route 163|Highway 163]] to the east. |
