1989 BeachQuake

This photo is here as a reference to the apparant tipping of the Caffe Pergolesi the the '89 quake:

Band shell on the beach in Santa Cruz after the quake.

Note how the piilings have driven up through the stage platform in the center and on the left side (behind the truss). This is evidence of the unusual up-down movement of the earth, also found in the damage of the Bay Bridge in San Francisco.

If the Pergolesi building was out of plumb after the quake- as the photo seems to indicate- it may have been thrown up abit as a unit, and came down tilted..
