Here's Chuck's response. He's a kid who grew up in the Mission and is also an author. I'm tickled that he's using our home area for the setting of his book. Can anyone describe the area in the early 50s? Sounds like fun! Thanks!

I have a couple of questions about this area that one of you may be able to help me with. I've learned it was part of or next to the Glen Park region and it was near 29th and Diamond Streets. Was there actually a large red rock at Red Rock? What was the place like, i.e. view, environment and especially what kind of trees were there if any. If you're curious, this is for a scene in a middle-grade fantasy adventure novel. Charles -- James R.
