What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in La Canada Flintridge
Condos are scarce and most La Canada Flintridge households own custom or ranch homes on large lots. Since owners tend to stay put, a report here doubles as a long-term chimney file, listing each flue and fireplace in the same order every time. Foothill rain and temperature swings wear on crowns at about 1,200 feet. The 2009 Station Fire began above town along Angeles Crest Highway, so mesh and brush are listed high, and the fault zone along the mountain front makes crack photos standard.
