What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Costa Mesa
A former army air base helped fill this city, and many post-war chimneys here have reinforced brick now decades old. Infill houses and rebuilds usually use gas fireplaces instead. Reports state which one is on the lot, since the house next door proves nothing. A major quake in 1933 began offshore from here on the Newport-Inglewood Fault, not far from this mesa. Damp air and marine layer mornings keep metal and crowns wet, and winter rain finds whatever has cracked.
