>For 50 years, drivers cruising along Interstate 280 between San Francisco and San Jose could spot a colossal concrete figure rising above the trees - a 26-foot statue of St. Junípero Serra, the Spanish missionary once hailed as the ‘Apostle of California.’ Now it’s gone. In August, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) quietly removed and demolished the monument at the Crystal Springs rest stop in Hillsborough - closing the area for a week, then reopening it with the hillside bare. ‘There was no notice,’ said Patricia Gonzalez, who manages the rest stop, in an interview with CBS San Francisco. ‘They just closed it down, took it down, and that was it. People still come every day asking where it went.’
