As a service to the leisure community and its insatiable desire for center-city entertainment, San Diego Downtown News presents the single handiest directory in the history of the universe. By no means is it comprehensive — many venues present different types of fare at a given time (the Balboa Theatre is the home of the classical Mainly Mozart group, yet it’s also a major site for ballet). Other than that, totally knock yourself out. All area codes are 619 unless otherwise indicated. General information Greater San Diego Chamber of Commerce, 402 W.
