John Freeman notes:  The crowd sitting on those curved things with the great billboards in the background, is
one of a kind. The curved piece are the concrete forms, used when the sea-wall was poured. They are
made of wood, covered with 1X8 boards. That was the time period they were building of the sea-wall.
