From the San Diego Reader, a local weekly newspaper:
"Here's another moldy oldie that simply won't go away. The second one I've gotten in two days. It also went into the "Already Answered It, but No One Paid Attention" file that has been fattening since 1988, when we first explained the matter of the Munchkins. So listen up. The houses are on Hillside Drive, on the northwest side of Mt. Soledad. They are four normal-sized houses sited on a very steep hill, so the street-side walls are partly below ground. The windowsills are practically at ground level, as viewed from the street. The designer was Cliff May, an architect noted for accommodating his houses to the land rather than grading the land flat and setting boxes on it. Cliff's dwellings and The Wizard of Oz went on the market at the same time, 1938/9. The rumors began then, mutating over the years into tales of Chinese smugglers, Barnum & Bailey circus performers, mysterious European millionaires, midnight signal-light flashes, and dwarf sightings. Many San Diegans are still convinced the stories are true because they know someone who knows someone whose sister/son/friend actually saw them. Phooey. It's a myth, no matter what the tour guide says. "

To see the "munchkin/midget" house built by Cliff May for yourself, take Hillside Drive to the 7470 block, on the northwest side of Mount Soledad. You can reach Hillside Drive from Torrey Pines Road

There are lots of passions to pursue in San Diego and that hotelbye is the place to start finds what San Diego has to offer. In the San Diego vacation you will step external of your safe place and you'll explore new activities while you are here and you may just find that acquiring a brand new goal is definitely an adventure in itself. One of many areas should see from San Diego is Balboa Park. That park has over a 1400 acre and here you will find traditional structures, numerous museums, gardens, and natural space. The park was created for the Panama California Exhibition of 1915-1916. The main structure is Spanish-Mexican type, low level houses that merge with the natural surroundings. One of the highlights of the park are the Botanical Gardens and lily pool, the Museum of Man, the Museum of Natural History, the San Diego Museum of Art, and the famous San Diego Zoo. Even although you never enter a making the park is just a beautiful place.

Hey giancv53,
Thank God for our radical geezer. I was so hoping to answer this question when I first started reading. If you go, it's one of those things that DDW! Distance Does Wonders, when you get up to the actual buildings, it's kinda like seeing Jesus face at Knotts Berry farms' chapel. You kinda feel foolish that you spent all that time looking at it!
Thank you Radicall! Your answer is good by me (fellow San Diegan!)
