Chicken Corner's Plumbean Report for Sunday was a boat house in the hills above Cabrillo beach in San Pedro. I suspect there are views of the ocean and the harbor from those highly placed windows. A short while before taking this picture I had been at a brunch, halfway down the hill from this spot, and from that lower elevation the ocean threw itself at your eyes, huge, with a pure horizon. A view to sail away on, in a neighborhood that is still working class/middle class with room for such a resourceful example of adaptive reuse as this place and a pokey but seemingly thriving main strip (Pacific Ave.) of independently owned shops and businesses.
