More information

Linda Vista (Spanish for "Pretty View") is a community in San Diego, California, United States. It is east of Mission Bay, north of Mission Valley, and south-east of Tecolote Canyon.

Many of the homes in Linda Vista were built in 1940 as part of a government project to house aircraft workers for the war effort.

Linda Vista was home of the very first mall-type shopping center in the United States, which was dedicated by Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt herself, in honor of this new planned community with all the amenities that an American could want, including a movie theater. She also visited Old Town of San Diego (known as the birthplace of the California) at the foot of the Linda Vista mesa and just across the San Diego River.
