    "My local recreational park holds let’s of community events. I have never been but we get invited regularly. They look very family friendly and there are plenty of brochures. Movies and garage sales for the most part... the local mall helps integrate us a lot. They hold all sorts of seasonal pop up tents but that’s about it. Car shows for enthusiasts and Main Street hold some extra events as well. "

    "Agreed... this is NOT El Cajon.This section of Fletcher Hills was San Diego until reapportionment. San Carlos is on the other side of 125 and La Mesa is right down the street. GREAT older neighborhood that is in the process of upgrading homes. Large lots, many with gorgeous views, quiet. DO not overlook this area"

    "Very quiet and calm neighborhood. Older houses but still OK. Very different atmosphere from the valley of El Cajon which is on the other side of Hwy 8. Has a very secluded park that I only found a year after we moved in (Harry Griffin park). Very easy to get anywhere in SD as Hwy 8, 125 and 94 intersect next to it. I would recommend it to anyone"
