Downtown Santa Cruz Pacific Avenue

Santa Cruz Travel Blog › entry 1 of 1 › view all entries

Pacific Avenue is the heart of downtown Santa Cruz, it's blocked off from car traffic partially, and on weekends it's full of people walking and browsing. These are just photos of the street on Oct 24, 2006. (gee, how did it get to be almost a year ago already?)

Downtown Santa Cruz Pacific Avenue

I have heard about these people who document/photograph entire cities or many streets, this is just my little project walking down (south) and then back (north) a few blocks of downtown Santa Cruz's Pacific Avenue on an October day in 2006!

Pacific Ave is people friendly,  and there are lots of nice stores to browse, many restaurants and cafes to stop and eat something. You can take a virtual walk with me!

This is a great idea! I was just in SC last weekend and thinking that someone should write more about Pacific Ave.
