Horton Plaza Park |
Easily
recognized as the backdrop to NBC 7/39's
street-side studio, this plaza is nicely
landscaped with a unique water
feature/fountain in the center.
The fountain in Horton Plaza was put
here to celebrate the opening of the
U.S. Grant Hotel, and has bas reliefs of
Cabrillo (the Portuguese explorer who
discovered San Diego Bay), Father Serra,
and Horton. This park is located on
Broadway between Third and Fourth
Avenues.
