Around here there's a group of artists that are doing the same thing with the Coyote Valley (little valley off the main Silicon Valley), a previously orchard-covered area that is going to be opened for development soon. These artists are going in with their tools of choice (camera, paint, whatever) and capturing the valley before it's changed to look like every OTHER part of this area. :p

My sister used to live in a subdivision in Upland, California. They never bought lemons. They just went to one of the vacant lots where a few trees remained, and picked them. Does California have a law that requires all subdivisions to be in former citrus groves?
