What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Carson
Carson stands out in the South Bay because about three quarters of households own their homes. Owners holding a 1950s or 1960s brick chimney for the long term can use a dated report as a baseline to compare against in later years. The 1933 Long Beach quake is why a crack here gets its width and height noted rather than just a mention. Mild temperatures spare crowns from freezing, so rain and age explain most of what a report lists.
