I've been MIA from SSP for a while; I've been very fortunate to be gainfully employed - but at the same time, crazybusy with work. Finally getting around to checking out some photo threads and yours was one of the first.
First, awesome job and great pics. Second, thank you for sharing these - I have family/in-laws in Southern California (Riverside County) and when my husband and I would visit, they would take us around to many of the sites you've shown. I live in Cleveland, so while it's not exactly cornfields, it's nowhere near the sheer numbers of people, traffic, etc. and it's just otherworldly to see some of these SoCal places that were once
teeming with activity and people to be completely devoid of both. If you're ever wondering if anyone notices your posting these - I'm sure I speak for many when I say yes, and it's very much appreciated.
