“””””In San Diego, Balboa Park preserves the setting and various buildings from its Pan American expo in the early 1900s. They were indeed built to be temporary and have had to be fixed over the years.”””””

When the Balboa park Old Globe Theater burned in 1978 I was one of the volunteers helping to rebuild it.

Very cool! I was in high school when that fire happened. Just a few years later, in college, I got to usher in the rebuilt Old Globe. It’s a treasured San Diego institution, for sure.
