In a city surrounded by wealth, it shouldn't be surprising that one of the locals' favorite pastimes is the shopping mall. While the regular spots are always filled to the brim at any time of the year, including central stations like Westfield malls like Fashion Valley and Mission Valley, you'll also find local secrets in Bird Rock, La Jolla, La Mesa, North Park and Carlsbad. With outlet malls as far north as Carlsbad and as far south as the border, shopping is a hobby every San Diegan has perfected.
