The Zion Marketplace in Kearny Mesa is my go-to virtual Asia escape. The sights and smells aren’t anything like a trip to Ralphs or Vons. Kinda cool to see your everyday US products with a Korean overlay. Plus stuff you’ll usually only find overseas. :: I understand the whole huge lot is scheduled for demolition and reimagination. Zion Marketplace will be rebuilt, along with a constellation of other Asian-themed stores. Seems possible there will be housing in the new complex too. Can’t happen too soon. The whole place is a 1960s holdover: giant parking lot, giant box store, everything at right angles. That was how they built’m back in the day. 음, 초콜릿 오레오!
