The Apple Pan

The Apple Pan is a restaurant in Los Angeles, opened in 1947, that is locally famous for its hamburgers, apple pies served with vanilla ice cream, and banana cream pie. History The restaurant, opened in 1947, is one of Los Angeles' oldest continuously operating restaurants. It is located near the Westside Pavilion. The Apple Pan is also notable as the basis for the popular Johnny Rockets restaurant chain. Johnny Rockets founder Ronn Teitelbaum claimed he used The Apple Pan as a model for his successful 1950s-themed franchise, copying the menu, presentation, counter seating and grilling area for the Johnny Rockets chain based on this original restaurant: a small menu with few items, hamburgers served wrapped in paper and on cardboard plates, hamburgers grilled-to-order in full view of the counter-seated customers. Teitelbaum approached the Baker family about going into business with him to establish a nation-wide franchise based on Apple Pan, but they turned him down, preferring things the way they were: simple. The exterior of The Apple Pan was used as an establishing shot in episodes of 1990s teen drama, Beverly Hills, 90210. The show's executive producer Charles Rosin wanted to use the name of The Apple Pan but instead created the fictional Peach Pit, loosely based on The Apple Pan, after he and the diner's owners could not agree on the use of the name.

The Burbank Studios

The Burbank Studios est un studio de tournage dédié aux productions cinématographiques et télévisuelles situé à Burbank au nord de Los Angeles sur Alameda Avenue. De nombreuses émissions et séries ont été et sont enregistrées dans ce studio. Ces studios sont surtout connus comme ceux de NBC. Historique En 1949, RCA maison mère de NBC achète un terrain à Jack Warner, l'un des fondateurs de Warner Bros., terrain qui servait de décors naturels aux Warner Bros. Studios situés de l'autre côté de la voie rapide Ventura Freeway. En septembre 1952, le premier édifice à sortir de terre est l'Administration Building (renommé Hope Building) rapidement suivi par un second bâtiment comprenant deux plateaux de tournage (Stage 1 et Stage 3) et des lieux de répétition. Les deux bâtiments sont reliés par un souterrain passant sous la voie servant d'entrée principale. Les deux plateaux comprenaient 350 places assises pour le public mais elles ont été supprimées dans le stage 3 en 1959. Le Stage 1 comprend en sous-sol une piste de bowling utilisée par Danny Kaye. Les Stages 2 et 4 construit dans la foulée comportent des gradins amovibles et le Stage 4 possède une piscine utilisée par Esther Williams pour des ballets aquatiques. Le bassin a été supprimé en 1959 en raison de problème d'étanchéité. Le 27 mars 1955, les NBC Color City Studios sont inaugurés. Ces studios de télévision servent pour tourner des émissions en couleurs pour la chaîne KRCA qui n'emménage qu'en 1962. Les anciens studios de KRCA, les West Coast Radio City situés à l'angle de Hollywood Boulevard et Vine Street, construit par l'architecte John C. Austin dans un style Streamline Moderne sont détruits en 1964 et remplacés par une banque. En novembre 1962, l'arrivée de KRCA dans les locaux provoque son renommage en KNBC. Durant de nombreuses années NBC produit des séries et émissions télévisées dans le studio En octobre 2007, à la suite du rachat de NBC par Universal, NBCUniversal annonce qu'il vend le site à Worthe Real Estate Group, continuera à le louer et abandonnera le site en mai 2013, déplaçant progressivement les productions aux Universal Studios tout proche. Un nouveau centre de télévision pour NBC doit ainsi être construit au sein des studios Universal en réaménagent l'ancien Technicolor Building. Le 15 avril 2019, Warner Bros. Entertainment annonce que le Warner Bros. Ranch va être vendu à Worthe Real Estate Group et Stockbridge Real Estate Fund dans le but d’intégrer les Burbank Studios plus proche des studios principaux. Au travers de cet accord, Warner Bros. Entertainment sera le seul locataire des Burbank Studios et deux nouveaux bâtiments de l’architecte Frank Gehry seront construits pour l’entreprise. L’inauguration est prévue pour 2023, date du 100e anniversaire de Warner Bros. Entertainment.

The Casbah (music venue)

The Casbah is a nightclub and music venue in San Diego, California, near downtown San Diego and San Diego International Airport. History The Casbah was first opened in 1989 by Tim Mays, Bob Bennett and Peter English at the site of a former Irish pub at 2812 Kettner Boulevard. The three men also owned the now-defunct Pink Panther Club. The original Casbah location hosted San Diego bands such as Rocket from the Crypt, Lucy's Fur Coat, Trumans Water, Three Mile Pilot, Creedle, Heavy Vegetable, Fluf, Inch, Crash Worship and Deadbolt. It also hosted bands such as Nirvana and the Smashing Pumpkins. English later left the venture. Because the original site had a maximum occupancy of 75 people, in 1994 the Casbah moved to a larger facility at 2501 Kettner Boulevard, the site of former club Bulc. The new location has a maximum occupancy of more than 200. The club usually hosts live music six to seven nights each week. Bands that have played at the current location include Alanis Morissette, Ben Harper, Blink-182, Dead Cross, Deadbolt, Dinosaur Jr., the Breeders, the Cult, the Lumineers, Melvins and the Sadies.

The Century Towers

Century Towers Residences are twin 28-story luxury condominium skyscrapers and the first residential project constructed in Century City, Los Angeles, in the U.S. state of California. The buildings were designed by I.M Pei and developed under the aegis of Alcoa Properties, located along the southern boundary of Century City on Avenue of the Stars. History Built in 1964 by Alcoa, William Zeckendorf, and Welton Becket Associates, Century Towers was originally designed as apartments by architect I.M. Pei. Perhaps best known for the "Pyramide du Louvre," his landmark glass pyramid addition to the Louvre Museum (Paris, France), Pei brought his signature styling to the creation of the mid-century towers. The towers were converted to condominiums in 1973, by S. Jon Kreedman & Company. Located on 6 acres (24,000 m2) of land (making it the largest luxury condominium property in Los Angeles), the towers host unobstructed 360° views of Los Angeles, the Hollywood Sign, Griffith Observatory and the Downtown Los Angeles skyline to the East and the Pacific Ocean to the West. Celebrity residents Century Towers has been home to many celebrities, politicians, and notable figures over the years, including Michael Douglas, Josh Brolin, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Burt Lancaster, Diane Lane, Lana Turner, David Janssen, Jack Benny, Sean Connery, Albert Hammond, Giveon, Nicole Sassaman, Barbie, Diana Ross, Karen Carpenter (who purchased two condos and converted them into her own duplex in 1976), Edith Flagg and Josh Flagg, Ruth Handler (founder of Mattel) and Berry Gordy. David Janssen's widow Dani is known for an annual Oscar party thrown in her penthouse. The residences have also been featured on numerous episodes of Bravo's Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles.

The Church on the Way

The Church On The Way (The First Foursquare Church of Van Nuys) is a Pentecostal church in Van Nuys, California, led by Senior Pastor, Tim Clark. It is affiliated with the Foursquare Church. The church was formerly pastored by Jack Hayford and was widely influential in the Charismatic Movement in the 1970s through the 1990s, with services regularly televised on the Trinity Broadcasting Network and aired on its own local radio station. The church is related to several other churches of a similar name in Southern California, including La Iglesia En El Camino in Van Nuys, California and The Church On The Way, Santa Clarita in Santa Clarita, California. The Hollywood Cross, a landmark in Hollywood, California, is owned by the church. History In 1926, a group of students from Life Bible College (now Life Pacific College) started a tent revival on Friar Street in Van Nuys, California. These prayer meetings developed into a church, which in the following year, was moved to a newly built facility on Erwin Street. In 1949, the church began building a new sanctuary, still located at 14344 Sherman Way, and completed it in 1951 with a marching band celebration down Van Nuys Blvd. By 1969, the aging church had been reduced to a small number of elderly members. When Howard Carson, senior pastor at the time, became ill and decided to step down, Jack Hayford was appointed by the Foursquare Church as interim pastor. In 1971, he accepted the position as permanent senior pastor. Following Hayford's appointment, the church grew significantly. By 1974, the sanctuary had to be remodeled to increase capacity, and in 1981 the current sanctuary at 14300 Sherman Way was built. In 1987, as the church continued to outgrow its facilities, the church initiated the purchase of 14800 Sherman Way from the First Baptist Church of Van Nuys. In 1999, when Jack Hayford retired, his son-in-law, Scott Bauer, was installed as his successor, serving as senior pastor until his sudden death in 2003. Between 2004 and 2010, Jim Tolle served as senior pastor of both the English and Spanish speaking congregations, and in 2011 Ricky Temple pastored the English speaking congregation for a year until 2013, when Tim Clark was named as senior pastor of the church, his term beginning in early 2014.

The-Dish-Observatorium

Das The-Dish-Observatorium (alternative Bezeichnung Stanford Dish) ist ein Radioteleskop für Frequenzen im Bereich von 22 bis 50 MHz im kalifornischen Stanford. Der Hauptreflektor hat einen Durchmesser von 46 m und ist sowohl in der Horizontalen als auch in der Vertikalen drehbar. Es wurde am 30. September 1961 fertiggestellt und war damals das größte bewegliche Radioteleskop der USA. Die Baukosten beliefen sich auf insgesamt 350.000 US-Dollar, die gänzlich von der United States Air Force übernommen wurden. Betreiber der Anlage ist das Forschungsinstitut SRI International. Nutzung Verwendung durch die CIA Die Anlage wurde aufgrund ihrer technischen Spezifikationen im Rahmen eines CIA-Projekts genutzt, um ostwärts gerichtete sowjetische Radarsignale auszuspähen. Dafür wurden eigens zwei Empfänger gebaut, welche die sowjetischen Radarstrahlen mithilfe des Moonbounce-Verfahrens analysieren konnten. Ab August 1965 konnte mit The Dish erfolgreich die Abstrahlcharakteristik des 5N15 Dnestr-Radars (NATO-Codename: „Hen House“) ausgewertet werden, was zum damals betriebenen Raketenabwehrsystem „Amur“ gehörte. Durch die genaue Eruierung der Leistungsparameter dieses Radars konnten Gegenmaßnahmen und Taktiken zur Verringerung seiner Wirksamkeit entwickelt werden. Zivile Nutzung Später wurde The Dish zur Kommunikation mit Satelliten und Raumfahrzeugen verwendet. Die bistatische Bauform der Anlage bietet diverse Vorteile für die Radioastronomie. Außerdem wurde die Anlage genutzt, um Signale an die Venussonden Mariner, oder an die beiden Voyager-Sonden der NASA zu senden. Im Jahr 1982 wurde The Dish zur Rettung des Amateurfunksatelliten UoSAT 1 verwendet, nachdem dieser durch den leistungsschwächeren Emitter des Satellitenbetreibers über Monate nicht mehr erreichbar war.

Stanford Dish (Stanford Radio Telescope)

The Stanford Dish, known locally as the Dish, is a steerable radio antenna in the Stanford, California foothills. "The Dish" is also used locally to refer to the surrounding hiking area. The 150-foot-diameter (46 m) Dish was built in 1961 by the Stanford Research Institute (now SRI International). The cost to construct the antenna was $4.5 million, and was funded by the United States Air Force. In the 1960s the Dish was used to provide information on Soviet radar installations by detecting radio signals bounced off the moon. Later on, the Dish was used to communicate with satellites and spacecraft. With its unique bistatic range radio communications, where the transmitter and receiver are separate units, the powerful radar antenna was well-suited for communicating with spacecraft in regions where conventional radio signals may be disrupted. At one point, the Dish transmitted signals to each of the Voyager craft that NASA dispatched into the outer reaches of the Solar System. In 1982 it was used to rescue the amateur radio satellite UoSAT-1. Later uses As of 2018, the Dish is still actively used for academic and research purposes. It is owned by the U.S. Government and operated by SRI International. It is used for commanding and calibrating spacecraft and for radio astronomy measurements. Recreational route The area around the Dish offers a popular 3.5 mile recreational trail, visited by an average of 1,500–1,800 people daily. The trail around the dish is known for its rolling hills and beautiful views, which on a clear day extend to San Jose, San Francisco, and the East Bay. The Stanford Running Club hosts an annual Dish Race and fun run that forms a 3.25 mile loop around the Dish trail. While hikers, walkers, and runners are welcome, bicycles and dogs are not allowed on the trail. It is open during daylight hours: As of June 2018, 360 cows were grazing on the grounds of the Stanford Dish. Stanford leases the land to farmers who own the cows.

Стенфордська тарілка

Стенфордська тарілка (англ. Stanford Dish) — 46-метрова параболічна радіоантена біля Стенфорда у США, побудована SRI International в 1961 році. Використовується для зв'язку з космічними апаратами та радіоастрономічних спостережень. Розташована серед пагорбів з красивими краєвидами, поруч проходить популярна туристична стежка. Історія Антена була побудована в 1961 році Стенфордським науково-дослідним інститутом (нині SRI International). Вартість будівництва склала 4,5 мільйона доларів США і була профінансована Повітряними силами США. У 1960-х роках антену використовували, щоб отримати інформацію про радянські радіолокаційні установки шляхом виявлення радіосигналів, що відбиваються від Місяця. Пізніше антену використовували для зв'язку із супутниками та космічними кораблями. Завдяки унікальному радіозв'язку бістатичного діапазону, де передавач і приймач є окремими блоками, потужна радарна антена добре підходила для зв'язку з космічними кораблями в регіонах, де звичайні радіосигнали можуть бути порушені. У якийсь момент Стенфордська тарілка передавала сигнали космічним кораблям «Вояджер», відправленим у зовнішні частини Сонячної системи. У 1982 році її використовували для порятунку радіоаматорського супутника UoSAT-1. Сьогодення Антена досі активно використовується в наукових цілях. Вона належить уряду США і управляється SRI International. Вона служить для керування космічними апаратами, а також для радіоастрономічних спостережень. Рекреаційний маршрут В околицях Стенфордської тарілки проходить популярна рекреаційна стежка довжиною 3,5 милі (5,6 км), яку щодня відвідує в середньому 1500—1800 людей. Стежка навколо антени відома своїми пагорбами та красивими краєвидами, які в ясний день простягаються до Сан-Хосе, Сан-Франциско та Іст-Бей. Стенфордський біговий клуб проводить щорічні перегони Dish Race, які слідують рекреаційною стежкою по петлі довжиною 3,25 милі (5,2 км). Стенфорд здає землю навколо радіоантени в оренду фермерам, які розводять корів. Станом на червень 2018 року на території Стенфордської тарілки паслися 360 корів.
