I had a rather interesting walk this morning.
I overslept and got out the door twenty minutes later than usual which cast a bit more light on the situation.
I decided to walk to the Glass Beach Development which I know nothing about.
On my way I passed this recently repainted Victorian and decided to take its picture in the early morning light. I rested my camera against Rossi’s Building Supply across the street because it was going to be a slow exposure. What I didn’t expect was my flash going off. Well, it did and that caused the interesting light in the lower left window.
Entering the Glass Beach Development I noticed Fort Bragg ran out of tree names and
seem to like the name Stewart.And there is Cimolino Way. John Cimolino was a County Supervisor. Cimolino Way turned out to be one block long. Sort of a strange reward for years of service!
Another thing I noticed. Elections are happening next Tuesday and there was not one political candidate poster in all of the development! Can it be against a zoning ordinance to endorse your favorite politician?
Strange.
Is that house Queen Anne?
ReplyDeleteGlass Beach development sort of creates this tension, between keeping its own unique, naturally formed beauty and then pushing it out so tourism infrastructure can be bigger, faster. You can see why people look at the area and get attracted right away, but if it gets overdeveloped, it could soon take away a lot of what makes it special in the first place. There’s also that wider angle here, especially for students trying to dig into research like sport management thesis topics, where planning crowd control and sustainable facilities kinda meet in a neat way. It overall feels like this is one of those places where careful, steady planning really matters more than rapid expansion.
