Merry "X" mas from the Station Fire Areas

            K-rails (otherwise known as Jersey Barriers) line the streets of Paradise Valley in the wake of the Station Fire of 2009. Last year, flooding destroyed homes and devastated lives, and these concrete barriers area a grim reminder. For the next five years, residences of Paradise Valley, La Canada California, will go about their daily routine of avoiding running into the rails, and each other, on the severely narrowed roads. No longer are they able to walk along the sidewalks and enjoy the peaceful aromatics of their neighbors' beautiful flora; to safely exercise their way up and down the steep Ocean View Boulevard as so many used to. Paradise Valley no longer physically resembles its name, but underneath the new facade grows a community richer in communication and preparedness; more connected, more determined to survive the storms, to revive their once beautiful alcove. And so the lives behind the concrete barriers reach out to the world with love, some holiday cheer, and a little humor this holiday season.
