Cesar Chavez Avenue

Cesar Chavez Avenue (Spanish: Avenida César Chávez) is a major east–west thoroughfare in Downtown Los Angeles, the east Los Angeles (region) and East Los Angeles, measuring 6.19 miles (9.96 km) in length. Named in honor of union leader César Chávez, the street was formed in 1994 from Sunset Boulevard between Figueroa and Main streets, a new portion of roadway, Macy Street between Main Street and Mission Road, and Brooklyn Avenue through Boyle Heights and East Los Angeles into Monterey Park. History The street and viaduct were originally named for the family ranch of Los Angeles pioneers Obed Macy and Oscar Macy. In October 1993, the Los Angeles City Council and the County Board of Supervisors approved the renaming of the stretch of roadway, but agreed to delay the change until 1994 and to put up historic plaques along Brooklyn Avenue to accommodate the opposition, many of whom believed that the new name would cause people to forget the Jewish history of the area. A street sign unveiling ceremony was held on March 31, 1994, Chávez's birthday, at the five-points intersection at Indiana Street, along the border of Boyle Heights and the unincorporated area of East Los Angeles. In March 2026, following sexual abuse allegations made against Chavez, local groups and residents have called for a name change to the roadway. Route Part of the pre-1940 Route 66, Cesar Chavez Avenue begins as a continuation of Sunset Boulevard on the east side of Figueroa Street. It runs through Downtown Los Angeles, crosses Alameda Street and passes over the Los Angeles River, through the neighborhoods of Brooklyn Heights and Boyle Heights and the northern portion of East Los Angeles into the southern portion of Monterey Park. The roadway becomes Riggin Street when it crosses Atlantic Boulevard in Monterey Park. Transportation Union Station, which provides connections to the A, B, and D lines, as well as Metrolink and Amtrak. Metro Local line 70 runs through Cesar Chavez Avenue.

Los Medanos College

Los Medanos College (LMC) is a public community college in Pittsburg, California, United States. It was established in 1974 and is part of the Contra Costa Community College District. LMC also has had an extension in Brentwood since 1998 called the "Brentwood Center". History The college's name comes from a misspelling of the former Rancho Los Méganos, a 13,316-acre (53.89 km2) Mexican land grant in the southwestern Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta region of present-day Contra Costa County, California. The rancho was given to José Noriega by Governor José Castro in 1835. Rancho Los Méganos extended eastward from present-day Antioch, along the San Joaquin River to the Old River. The rancho lands included present-day Oakley, Knightsen, and Brentwood. The name, meaning "inland sand dunes" in Spanish, refers to the sand dunes that characterize its location in eastern Contra Costa County along the Sacramento River and in the foothills of Mt. Diablo. Opened in 1974, the college is part of Contra Costa Community College District, along with Contra Costa College and Diablo Valley College. Enrollment was 6,845 students in spring 2023.

Los Osos Oaks State Natural Reserve

Los Osos Oaks State Natural Reserve is a California State Park in western San Luis Obispo County, in the Central Coast of California region. It preserves centuries-old coast live oaks (Quercus agrifolia) growing atop relict sand dunes. It is located in the Los Osos Valley between San Luis Obispo and Baywood Park-Los Osos, just outside the town of Los Osos. It is also the only place the critically endangered Splitting Yarn or Iron Maiden's Hair lichen Sulcaria isidiifera can be found. The 85-acre (34 ha) park was established in 1972. Area history There are several prehistoric sites in the proximate vicinity of the Los Osos Oaks State Natural Reserve, in addition to archaeological recovery within the reserve itself. A significant-sized Chumash site, Los Osos Back Bay, has been partially excavated on a stabilized sand dune slightly to the north of the reserve dating to at least as early as 1200 CE. Proposed for closure The reserve was one of several state parks threatened with closure in 2008. After the 2009 California state special elections, in which voters turned down a package of propositions dealing with California budget crisis, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger proposed the temporary closure (for at least 2 years) of 220 parks. The closures were ultimately avoided by cutting hours and maintenance system-wide. See also California oak woodland Elfin Forest Natural Area — in Baywood-Los Osos.

Los Peñasquitos Creek Arch Bridge

The Los Peñasquitos Creek Arch Bridge is a pair of road bridges in San Diego, California. Completed in 1949, the original bridge is a reinforced concrete open-spandrel arch-bridge with an overall length of 434 feet (132 m), and arch span of 220 feet (67 m). It now serves as a service road and bike path. The new Los Peñasquitos Creek bridge was first built in 1966 as the southbound lanes of the U.S. Route 395 freeway. It was completely replaced by a prestressed concrete girder bridge during the widening of the Interstate 15 freeway in 1976. Cara Knott Memorial Bridge In 1995, the new bridge was renamed the Cara Knott Memorial Bridge after 20-year-old Cara Knott, a San Diego State University student who was stopped and then subsequently murdered by California Highway Patrol officer Craig Peyer near the bridge on the night of December 27, 1986. Peyer was later convicted in the case and is serving a 25 years-to-life sentence in prison. In 2000, Cara's father, Sam, died of a heart attack, just a few yards from the exact place where his daughter was killed, while taking care of a garden the family built to honor Cara. References

Los Trancos Open Space Preserve

Los Trancos Open Space Preserve is a 274-acre (1.11 km2) open space preserve, located in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties, California, near Los Altos Hills, California. The preserve contains about 5 miles (8 km) of hiking trails, of which 2.1 miles (3.4 km) are open to equestrians, and none are open to bicycles. The area was once a part of a 13,300 acre (53.8 km2) rancho. The preserve's acreage was purchased by state senator Louis Oneal in the early 1900s, who raised horses there. It was sold to a developer in the 1950s. Power and water lines were run to the property in the 1960s, but development was abandoned when the city of Palo Alto discovered the high cost of providing city services to the area. The preserve was acquired by the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District in 1976. While the preserve is relatively small compared to other preserves and parks in the area, it has one notable feature: about one mile (1.5 km) of the San Andreas Fault runs underneath it. Several series of markers throughout the preserve indicate where the ground has broken during various earthquakes. Additionally, a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) trail follows the main break caused by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. This trail includes several interpretive stations that point out various quake-caused features and phenomenon. Guided "quake walks" are held about once a month. Just northwest of Page Mill Road, the preserve protects the headwaters of Los Trancos Creek, a tributary of San Francisquito Creek.

Lost Hills Airport

Lost Hills Airport (FAA LID: L84), also known as Lost Hills-Kern County Airport, was a public airport located one mile (1.6 km) northeast of the central business district (CBD) of Lost Hills, in Kern County, California, United States. It was mostly used for general aviation. It was closed in March 2019. Facilities Lost Hills Airport covered 390 acres (158 ha) and had one runway: Runway 15/33: 3,020 by 60 feet (920 by 18 m), surface: asphalt History The airport was built as the Lost Hills Auxiliary Field or Lost Hills Field No. 7, a satellite airfield of Minter Field, a US Army World War II pilot training base. In 1942 the War Department received the free use of land from Jean Atkinson on November 5, 1942. The US Army added 288.26 acres more of free land, received from Standard Oil Company of California on August 30, 1943. The Army built a 5,000-foot runway and a 1,600-foot clay landing strip at Lost Hills Auxiliary Field. The 5,000-foot runway was used for training bomber pilots like the North American B-25 Mitchell and Lockheed P-38 Lightning. The Vultee BT-13 Valiant and Boeing-Stearman Model 75 were the most common planes used for training at Minter Army Airfield auxiliary fields. Lost Hills Auxiliary Field was closed on January 11, 1945, and became the Lost Hills Airport, a public airport.

Casa Lou Henry Hoover

La casa Lou Henry Hoover, conocida formalmente como casa Lou Henry y Herbert Hoover, es una edificación histórica ubicada en el campus de la Universidad Stanford, California, Estados Unidos. Completada en 1920, es la antigua casa de Herbert Hoover, 31.° presidente de los Estados Unidos, y su esposa Lou Henry Hoover, quienes la diseñaron. En la actualidad, es la residencia oficial del rector de Stanford. Además de su importancia como residencia de los Hoover, la casa ejemplifica el estilo arquitectónico racionalista. Fue designado Hito Histórico Nacional en 1985.​ Historia Antes del final de la Primera Guerra Mundial, los Hoover habían encargado al arquitecto Louis Christian Mullgardt que diseñara su residencia en Stanford; sin embargo, Mullgardt hizo público su nombramiento antes del final de la guerra, lo que enfureció a los Hoover. Finalmente terminaron despidiendo a Mullgardt.​ Después de varias consultas, los Hoover convencieron a Arthur Bridgman Clark, un profesor de arte de Stanford que practicaba arquitectura independiente durante el verano, para que fuera su arquitecto.​ Clark estuvo de acuerdo con la condición de que la señora Hoover diseñara la casa y que Clark, con la ayuda del dibujante de arquitectura Charles Davus y el hijo arquitecto de Clark, Birge, actuaría como asesor. La señora Hoover esbozaba ideas, observaba la construcción, pero cuando alguien le decía que alguna de sus ideas arquitectónicas no estaba hecha, respondía: «Bueno, es hora de que alguien lo haga».​ El exterior de la casa parece mucho más pequeño de lo que sugiere su interior. La casa de forma irregular fue construida sobre una base de losa de hormigón armado y se eleva dos pisos en el frente y tres pisos en la parte trasera.​ Parecidos a las primeras casas de estilo internacional, algunos arquitectos opinaron que los diseños de la señora Hoover se inspiraron en las casas argelinas del norte de África que ella había visto.​ La contribución de Herbert Hoover fue ordenar que la casa fuera a prueba de fuego (ignifugidad) y que las paredes se construyeran con tejas huecas. Construida entre 1919 y 1920, fue la primera y única residencia permanente de la pareja. Los Hoover vivieron allí poco tiempo antes de que Herbert fuera nombrado secretario de Comercio por el presidente Warren G. Harding en 1921, cargo que continuó bajo el presidente Calvin Coolidge. Fue aquí donde Hoover esperó los resultados de las elecciones presidenciales en 1928, cuando ganó frente a Al Smith, y en 1932, cuando perdió las elecciones ante Franklin D. Roosevelt. Durante la presidencia de Hoover (1929-1932), la familia Hoover solo visitó brevemente su hogar en Stanford. Regresaron a esta casa después de 1932, manteniendo un apartamento en Nueva York como segunda residencia.​ Después de la muerte de Lou en 1944, su esposo la transfirió a la Universidad de Stanford para que sirviera como hogar para profesores universitarios. Ahora sirve como residencia oficial del rector de la universidad y no está abierta al público. En 2008 se equipó con paneles solares.​ Referencias Enlaces externos

Lovell House

La Casa Lovell o Lovell Health House es una residencia de estilo racionalista moderno diseñada y construida por Richard Neutra entre 1927 y 1929. La casa, ubicada en el 4616 de Dundee Drive en Los Ángeles, California, fue construida para el médico naturópata Philip Lovell. Es considerada un monumento importante en la historia de la arquitectura, y fue un punto de inflexión en la carrera de Neutra.​ Diseño La casa estéticamente sigue muchos de los principios del estilo internacional o racionalista. Fue incluida en 1932 en la exhibición en el Museo de Arte Moderno en Nueva York que retrospectivamente ha definido el estilo. En esencia refleja el interés de Neutra en la producción industrial, y esto es más evidente en el uso repetitivo de los perfiles de las ventanas. De hecho, el ayudante de Neutra, Harwell Hamilton Harris sugirió que Neutra, se instaló en los Estados Unidos debido a Henry Ford.​ Se describe a menudo como la primera casa de estructura de acero en los Estados Unidos, y también un ejemplo temprano del uso de hormigón proyectado. Neutra estaba familiarizado con la construcción en acero debido a su trabajo anterior con la empresa de Chicago Holabird & Roche. Neutra actuó como contratista para el proyecto con el fin de gestionar los costes y la calidad. El interior refleja el interés de Neutra por el Cubismo, la transparencia y la higiene. El mínimalismo de los acabados muestra la influencia de Irving Gill. En otro guiño a la producción industrial, Neutra instaló dos faros del modelo Ford T, en el principal hueco de la escalera. (Los faros fueron proporcionados a Neutra por su ayudante Gregory Ain.)​ El Historic American Buildings Survey describe la Casa Lovell como "un excelente ejemplo de la arquitectura residencial, donde la tecnología recrea el entorno".​ Philip Lovell estaba encantado con la casa y elogió a su arquitecto públicamente. Lovell había previamente encargado al arquitecto Rudolf Schindler construir su Casa de Playa Lovell en 1926. Neutra y Schindler fueron contemporáneos en Europa y los Neutra habían vivido con los Schindler (en la Casa Schindler), cuando se establecieron por primera vez en Los Ángeles en 1925. El Dr. Lovell eligió a Neutra en lugar de Schindler para construir su casa de Los Ángeles, mientras ellos estaban viviendo bajo el mismo techo. Neutra era conocido por sus relaciones con sus clientes, en las que él se consideraba a sí mismo como terapeuta y al cliente como su paciente. Dedicaba mucho tiempo a conocer a sus clientes y analizar sus necesidades.​ La Casa Lovell fue añadido a la lista de Lugares Históricos Registrados de Los Ángeles, en 1971. En producciones cinematográficas La casa fue utilizada en la película de 1997 L. A. Confidencial, como la casa de Pierce Morehouse Patchett, interpretado por David Strathairn. También fue representada en la película Principiantes (Mike Mills, 2010) como la casa de Oliver (Ewan McGregor) y su padre Hal (Christopher Plummer).
