Walking the planks in downtown SC
                                Santa Cruz Sentinel article from May 15, 1992, describing the temporary wooden walkways built along Pacific Avenue during the final phase of downtown mall reconstruction after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. The piece highlights the old-time atmosphere, challenges for businesses and delivery drivers, and a concurrent incident in which clogged water pipes flooded stores, disrupting local commerce.
