Oh, oh, we'd better pave over the rocks and grind down any sharp edges before someone else gets hurt. Of course if the plants on the "Point" get much higher you won't even be able to see the harbor anyway. Anybody heard of getting out the pruning shears and cutting some of the bushes down - since this is the premiere ocean overlook in SoCal and there is supposed to be a 42" height limit on bushes.
