Cracks in the facade of the Palomar Hotel building near the lobby entrance and the store "Limited." The Palomar's owners had just had the building retrofitted; it survives twenty years later, thanks to a modern adhesive that "superglued" cracks such as these, inside and outside of the structure.

The Palomar was one of the few very old buildings to survive the 1989 earthquake. The new owners had just completed a retrofit at the time of the Loma Prieta earthquake. A new style of adhesive was used to glue the cracks caused by the quake.
