Little Boxes still stand on the very same hillside, in Daly City, where they first caught Ms. Reynolds' attention. I was there in January this year, driving into San Francisco from the airport, when I spotted them again. They have been virtually unchanged over the years. They are of a rather stark, boxy, stairstep design that follows the rise of the hill to the east. All are painted in varying pastel colors, some brighter than others, without much in the way of relief in the way of trees and shrubs. It is almost as if they have been "embalmed" as an homage to the song.
