What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Thousand Oaks
Thousand Oaks went through the switch from brick to metal right in the middle of its growth. A post-war tract may hold one brick flue, a 1970s house a metal one, and a North Ranch home several. The report starts by listing what exists. Northridge left its mark on homes and flues across the Conejo, and open space rings much of this city, with the 2018 Hill Fire on its north edge. Santa Ana season adds its own test for any loose cap, and for mesh.
