My brother, Joe, was on a cleaning kick. I have known of the dump in the Irvine Hills since I was a child, but I did not know that Huntington Beach had a dump just off Warner Ave and Gothard, just across the street from a primary school. It was actually a very beautiful place, in an industrial way.

Huntington Beach started out over a hundred years ago as industrial oil fields by the ocean with a few green bean fields here and there. In the last 40 years, Huntington Beach has become the epitome of Orange County suburban big mcmansion stucco'ed track houses by the beach. To see the suburbs lifted up to reveal the old industrial heart was delightful.
