"Pokez" is a vegetarian restaurant and a hangout place in downtown San Diego. When we approached them, the managers allowed us to keep a 16Rounds magazine stand in this hip place. Now there is another location where you can pick up a copy of 16Rounds.

This area of downtown shows signs of destitute, violence, antisocial behavior and other such marks common to poverty stricken sections.

Lestats cafe is located on Adams Avenue in Normal Heights. "Normal Heights" - what a funny name. I wonder how it had gotten it. Do you know?
