Guru-Powered App Receives Governor's Historic Preservation Award 2016

Guru-Powered Little Italy App wins Governor's Historic Preservation Award

We’re honored that the Little Italy San Diego app was recognized for outstanding achievement in historic preservation and selected to receive the Governor’s Historic Preservation Award for 2016. This is the only official preservation award presented by the State of California, which made Guru all the more grateful to receive it in partnership with a treasured historic neighborhood right in our own city.
