SAN DIEGO \u2014 A\u00a0live webcam<\/a> overlooking one of downtown San Diego\u2019s busiest intersections is drawing attention online, offering viewers a real-time look at the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter.<\/p>\n The camera streams 24 hours a day from Fifth Avenue near the iconic Gaslamp sign, capturing constant movement at an intersection many locals and visitors recognize instantly.<\/p>\n For people who work nearby, the live view adds a new layer to the everyday downtown experience.<\/p>\n \u201cComing up, Comic Con and all that\u2026 and Padres getting ready to start in a couple months, so this is popping this area right in here,\u201d said John McConnell, who works downtown.<\/p>\n Even on a typical weekday, the webcam is getting noticed. McConnell said his wife told him about the camera before he arrived at work.<\/p>\n \u201cShe goes, when you’re in front of Spaghetti Factory, there’s gonna be a camera looking at you,\u201d McConnell said. \u201cWhen you go there, call me, and I’ll look you up. I just called her when you’re here, I’m thinking, oh, this is kind of weird.\u201d<\/p>\n The live stream camera is mounted on the balcony of Bijut Collection<\/a>, a permanent jewelry studio overlooking Fifth Avenue.<\/p>\n Owners Carmen and Kevin Layton said the vantage point gives viewers an authentic look at downtown life.<\/p>\n \u201cAlways, there’s always something going on in Gaslamp,\u201d Carmen Layton said.<\/p>\n
