"Home to the Mile of Cars" National City by lmkluque
National City Travel Guide: 15 reviews and 26 photos
Welcome to my National City page,
I lived in National City for many years. It is a city with little of interest to attract a world traveler, but there are somethings about National City one planning a trip to San Diego might like to know.
Hotels/motels located in the northern end of National City, which borders the City of San Diego, are lower in price than hotel/motels of the same quality located in the City of S.D.
Plaza Bonita is a two level shopping Mall serving the area, located at the southern border, next to the city of Chula Vista. Interesting to note, the stores in Plaza Bonita, such as, Robinson-May, Victoria Secret etc. generally offer their wares at a lower price than the same stores found in shopping malls in northern end of San Diego.
The Mile of Cars is an international market for automobiles from around the globe and for anyone interested in cars, this is the place to go.
I hope you enjoy you're visit,
Linda
- Pros:Cost of living is lower
- Cons:Standard of beauty is lower

Thanks for your help to check out the motels for me. Very useful tips. See you in 3 weeks time.
Very interesting story about the Miracle Mile. I lived in SD and visited many times, but that was a new one for me. I'll have to notice more closely next time. thanks!
Wow, I didn't know that I passed through the Miracle Mile of Cars. Great restaurants tips... but nothing compare to Filippi's Pizza Grotto, you know :-)I like your Pros and Cons ---> beauty costs, right?
I wish I knew about the Filipino booth when I was at Plaza Bonita Mall a few years back or else I would have had that instead of the Greek.
