... in response to Re: Neighborhood attractions, posted by OkieMan on Apr 1, 2005Avenida Sexta is kind of where the action is,the intertainment area.Bars,discos,video bars but more ordinary restaurants or fast food.The better restaurants are developing about 4 blocks to the west along Avenida 9 Norte,the Grenada area.
There are lots of good restaurantsin Cali but probably the greatest concentration here.
I live right adjacent to the west in Juanambu.I like it here.Its a strata 6 ,the highest,built on the hillside.Its quiet up here but only afewblocks from the action.You can walk there.walking back more difficult because its a steep uphill climb.Its alot cooler up here than down in the valley,even though its maybe only 300 ft or so vertically up.We get a breeze off the mountain that really sweeps through here.
There are other good areas in North Cali,kind of southwest of here.El Pinon,Santa Teresita,Los Cristales.But they are farther out,not walking distance but a short cab ride.Alot of the buidings are built along some major roads and it tends to be noisy.
I like the south around Cuidad Jardine also.Itslessdensley developed.Cuidad Jardine has huge houses on big lots,like Cali Vip has and Latin Internet had,they are moving north.All Colombian girls will move back north also but Recardo has 6 months or so left on his lease.There is less to do down there for intertainment.Everybody told me to find a place in the North and it was good advice.I like it here and its about $1.25 cab ride to most of the places I go if I take a taxi.$1.25-$1.50 to Chipi Chapi.
