real estate broker Jim Abbott says of the vividly-decorated unit he’s christened,<br />
“Comic-Condo,” located on the 19th story of <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong>’s 19th-tallest building, the<br />
Meridian, “You can’t help but smile when you walk in.”<br />
The condo was remodeled by Sweig General Contracting with “whimsy” as its<br />
theme. Its doting grandparent owners designed the condo as a way to keep their<br />
grandchildren visually stimulated, Abbott says.<br />
