Rock Walls
Noel Laflin

There are literally miles of stones hand placed by WPA masons some eighty-some-odd-years ago into cement-based retaining walls and drainage channels spread throughout Irvine Park. I couldn’t tell you the exact number of rocks brought up from Santiago Creek and put into place over the years, but there are thousands. I know this to be a fact as I have followed the majority of those walls and drains looking for the gift of an occasional fossil embedded in a pretty rock or the name of an emboldened mason left behind.
And to think that I used to get stoned in a completely different fashion when I was young.
