What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Culver City
Fox Hills condos from the 1970s have little in common with a 1930s brick chimney in the older tracts, so reports here open by naming the neighborhood type. Hillside addresses in Blair Hills and Culver Crest also get a note about how the roof was reached. May and June often start under gray skies this close to the coast, leaving crowns damp, though freezing is rare. Shaking in 1994 was strong here, and any older site-built brick deserves a look for cracks from that day.
