“In the early ’90s, before skate parks were scattered throughout San Diego County, skateboarders took to the streets, using handrails, curbs, stairs and high school campuses as their urban playgrounds.

To non-skaters, these spots were nothing special. But to skateboarders, they became legendary locations, some achieving national prominence.”

Stairways to heaven
