Utility Boxes (San Diego)

Uptown's utility boxes reflect community spirit

A few days before I visited San Diego, a guided walk through Uptown showed off its myriad of painted utility boxes. I was hoping to get a list of them so that I could see as many of them as possible, but unfortunately wasn't able to do so. Luckily I saw a number on 5th and on University. Here they are for your enjoyment. I don't have a GPS, so I don't know their exact locations. After the third or fourth they're all on University from west to east.
