Antique Shopping in Downtown La Mesa         If you’re looking for a great way to spend an afternoon, head over to La Mesa Blvd, between Spring Street and 4th Street and wander through time in the many antique stores that line the street.  Although not as popular as the antique stores on Adams Avenue, Hillcrest, or in Ocean Beach, La Mesa has a variety of stores offering everything from large pieces of furniture to jewelry and knick-knacks.   Here are a few of my favorites:   Park Estate Company Antiques This is a large store with a wide variety of items.  But the best part is Mike the owner who is very knowledgable about everything in the store!   8371 La Mesa Blvd La Mesa, CA 91942 (619) 644-3003 11 am – 6 pm Mon – Sun.   La Mesa Antique Mall Just around the corner from La Mesa Blvd i... 06/21/2012
