What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Riverside County
Riverside County has about 870,000 homes, most built in recent decades. Desert resort communities, mid-century houses and mountain homes in Idyllwild have almost nothing in common, so a report states which area it covers, then which fireplace system. Snow and freezing nights at Idyllwild stress masonry, while desert sun cracks crowns elsewhere. Three major fault systems cross this county, including the San Andreas, so any crack gets logged. Blythe answers to Mojave Desert AQMD, not South Coast.
