As a bonus the colorful foldout maps show the Hillcrest Business Improvement District’s parking lots, community centers and self-guided neighborhood walks. All advertiser locations are also identified, listed and directed to the page in HQ8 where readers may find their ad. The flip side of the map shows hiking trails and museums in Balboa Park and businesses in the adjacent neighborhood of Bankers Hill.
