The Eye of God (Big Bear)

The Eye of God (Serrano: Hatauva) is a quartz dome which is a landmark in the Baldwin Lake area near Big Bear City, California. It is a megalith which is a sacred tribal landmark for the native Yuhaaviatam "People of the Pines," a clan of Serrano people who have lived in the region for at least 2,000 years. The Serranos worshipped the dome, which they referred to as the eye of their creator Kruktat (Kokitach). It is where the Serrano's creation narrative takes place. The Serrano Native Americans still hold the place sacred and believe God's spirit remains here. Legend says God was watching to make sure the natives treated one another well. Originally a full dome, it was dynamited during 1940s as it was believed it to be full of gold. Their creation stories involves a God, Kruktat, who created the People. After falling ill, Kruktat journeyed to the mountains where he lay dying in a bear cave. Tended by the First People, he was taken to Maktsuk, today called Pan Hot Springs, where he was bathed by human caretakers. Knowing he was dying, Kruktat instructed the People to cremate him and protect his body from Coyote, who eats dead things. Kruktat died near present-day Baldwin Lake. During the cremation the eye of Kruktut flew out and became the giant snow quartz megalith known as Aapahunane’t, or God's Eye. Coyote snuck through the bowed legs of bear and snatched Kruktat's heart in his mouth. The people hit Coyote, and as he ran into the mountains above Baldwin Lake, the dripping blood turned the rocky soil red. When the creator died the people mourned and their tears turned into pine trees, the area called Yuhaaviat. The nuts from the trees became food for the Yuhaaviatam, or People of the Pines. References
Holly Park (San Francisco)

Holly Park ist ein öffentlicher Park in San Francisco, Kalifornien, im Stadtteil Bernal Heights. Es ist bekannt für seinen hervorragenden Blick auf die Stadt und die Bucht von San Francisco. Als einer der ältesten Stadtparks San Franciscos wurde er der Stadt 1862 von James Graham Fair geschenkt, von einem Grundstück, das Teil des Bernal-Landstipendiums war, auch bekannt als Rancho Rincon de las Salinas y Potrero Viejo. In den 1920er Jahren wurde das Anwesen dann mit Hilfe des Stadtparkamtes verbessert und ab den 1950er Jahren die Stadtplanung und -finanzierung erhöht. Es gibt Wanderwege rund um den Gipfel des Holly Hill, Wanderwegweiser, öffentliche Kunst, Picknickplätze, Basketball- und Tennisplätze, Gärten und einen Kinderspielplatz. Die kinetische Skulptur Odonata (lat. für Libelle) von Joyce Hsu befindet sich im Park nahe dem Spielplatz. Der Name des Parks und von Holly Hill stammt wahrscheinlich von der Hollyleaf-Kirsche oder der Islais-Kirsche, die einst in der Nähe des Islais Creeks im Süden des Hügels reichlich vorhanden war.

Holly Park (San Francisco)

Holly Park is a public park in San Francisco, California in the Bernal Heights neighborhood. It is known for excellent views of the city and San Francisco Bay. One of San Francisco's oldest city parks, it was donated to the city in 1862, by James Graham Fair, from a parcel that had been part of the Bernal land grant, also known as the Rancho Rincon de las Salinas y Potrero Viejo. The land was then improved in the 1920s, with help from the city parks department and increased city planning and funding from the 1950s onward. It has walking paths around the summit of Holly Hill, nature walk signs, public art, picnic areas, basketball and tennis courts, gardens, and a children's playground. The kinetic sculpture Odonatoa by Joyce Hsu is in the park near the playground. The name of the park, and of Holly Hill, may be related to the hollyleaf cherry or Islais cherry, once abundant near Islais Creek just to the south of the hill.

Nourse Theater

The Sydney Goldstein Theater, formerly the Nourse Theater and Nourse Auditorium, is a 1,687-seat venue located at 275 Hayes Street, San Francisco, California. It is host to the City Arts & Lectures series as well as podcast tapings and conversations with notable writers and cultural figures. History Built in 1926 in the Spanish Revival style as a part of the High School of Commerce, it was used as an auditorium for student events and assemblies until it was closed in 1952. The theater was used intermittently for pageants and live music concerts until 1985 when the auditorium was temporarily converted to a courtroom for a large asbestos exposure case. It was one of the first “wired” courtrooms with computers linked to a mainframe in Texas used to share documents. After the end of the trial, it was no longer used as a public venue, serving only as a storage facility for the San Francisco Unified School District for nearly 30 years. In 2013, when the Herbst Theatre was closed for repairs, the founder of the City Arts and Lectures program, Sydney Goldstein, renovated the Nourse Theater and made it the new home of the program. In 2018, following Goldstein's death, the theater was renamed in her honor. Architectural details References

The plaza was constructed with big parking spots in the middle with numerous stores surrounding the lot. Chapman Plaza served higher class neighborhoods such as Fremont Place, Windsor Square and Hancock Park in Los Angeles. Also, the plaza was built in set with Chapman Park Studio building on the other side of Alexandria Avenue. The plaza was built during the Spanish Revival movement period in 1920s to 1930s in Los Angeles by renowned architecture firm Morgan, Walls & Clements. The architects practiced Art Deco and Streamline Moderne architecture creating buildings in Los Angeles such as the El Capitan and Mayan theaters. As one of Spanish Revival style building, Chapman Plaza has “fortress-like façade, with thick concrete walls…[with] ornate, Churrigueresque towers". The interior of the building has “high ceilings, arched windows, double-wide hallways and an artisan showroom” with the exterior consisting “courtyard, fountains/statues, gardens patios and rooftop views”. Current On August 30, 1988, the building was named as Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument (#386). Chapman Plaza was planned for renovation with $4.5 million budget in order to transform the space into a “place of beauty and an urban meeting ground” and bring back the “charm of early Los Angeles”. It went through big renovation project in 1990 with The Ratkovich Company (owned by Wayne Ratkovich) and architect Brenda Levin. In 2016, Chapman Plaza was sold to new owner ArcWest Partners who proposed to “restore the structure to ‘its historic grandeur’” including some of the historic elements like the façade. Chapman Plaza continues to be one of the remaining Spanish Revival style architecture in Los Angeles. References
Jack and Laura Dangermond Preserve

The Jack and Laura Dangermond Preserve is a nature reserve in Santa Barbara County California managed by The Nature Conservancy. The land is host to a variety of wildlife species, as it touches two major terrestrial and two major marine biomes. Animals from both southern and northern California mix territories in this area. Location The preserve is in south-west Santa Barbara County, California, with 8 miles (13 km) of coastline along the Gaviota Coast bracketing Point Conception and 24,000 inland acres (9,700 ha). It is adjacent to protected marine areas. The land touches the south and east sides of Jalama Beach County Park. History The preserve was created in 2017 by a donation from Jack and Laura Dangermond. The $165 million donation to The Nature Conservancy to secure the land was the largest the organization has ever received. The reserve was included in the Prescribed Fire Training Exchange (TREX) held November 12–19, 2022 with a controlled fire by firefighters to clear away dead undergrowth and other debris. The training on how to safely conduct prescribed burns, seminars on local fire ecology, and tribal burning included Santa Barbara County Fire Department, employees of the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians, The Nature Conservancy, University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources, Vandenberg Space Force Base, scientists, ranchers, students, researchers, and land managers. Ecology Black abalone (Haliotis cracherodii), California’s state seashell and federally endangered since 2009, were successfully translocated to Dangermond Preserve's protected coastline in 2023 after their near extirpation by commercial and recreational harvesting, and withering abalone syndrome.

Salinas (Kalifornien)

Salinas ist eine Stadt im Monterey County im US-Bundesstaat Kalifornien. Geographie Salinas liegt im gleichnamigen Valley. 6 km südlich der Stadt befindet sich der Salinas River. Salinas ist die größte Stadt im Monterey County und gleichzeitig Verwaltungssitz. Salinas gliedert sich in sechs Stadtteile. Der Highway 101 verläuft durch Salinas. Geschichte Nachdem die Gegend um Salinas ursprünglich von amerikanischen Ureinwohnern bewohnt wurde, siedelten sich die ersten Fremden ab dem Jahr 1822 an. Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts wuchs die Bevölkerung Salinas, bedingt durch den Anstieg der landwirtschaftlichen Produktion. So wurde Salinas durch die Southern Pacific Railroad an das Eisenbahnnetz angeschlossen. 1872 wurde Salinas Verwaltungssitz des Monterey County. Die Landwirtschaft blieb weiterhin der Hauptindustriezweig der Stadt. Salinas wird in den USA daher auch gerne als Salad Bowl of the World („Salatschüssel der Welt“) bezeichnet, weil im Tal des Salinas River rund um die Stadt vier Fünftel des gesamten in den USA angebauten Salats wachsen. 1924 hatte Salinas das höchste Pro-Kopf-Einkommen der gesamten USA, was zu einem Bauboom führte. In Salinas finden sich noch heute zahlreiche Art-déco-Bauten. Der Name Salinas leitet sich von den nahe gelegenen Salzfeldern ab.

Salinas (Californie)

Salinas est une municipalité de Californie aux États-Unis, c'est le siège du comté de Monterey et la « capitale de la laitue ». Sa population était de 150 441 habitants en 2010. Économie L'économie de Salinas et de sa région est principalement tournée vers l'agriculture (fruits et légumes), et surtout pour sa production de laitue ; en effet 80 % de la laitue des États-Unis provient de la vallée de Salinas. Le centre commercial Northridge Mall se trouve à Salinas. Démographie Selon l'American Community Survey, pour la période 2011-2015, 64,37 % de la population âgée de plus de 5 ans déclare parler espagnol à la maison, alors que 31,0 % déclare parler l'anglais, 1,79 % le tagalog et 2,84 % une autre langue. Histoire Avant la colonisation la région est habitée par les Ohlones, les Salinans (en) et les Esselen (en), bien que la zone délimitant la ville soit plus associée aux Ohlones. À la suite de la sécularisation de 1833, les terres sont divisées en ranchos. Salinas est alors un marécage. James Bryant Hill rachète deux ranchos historiques de la ville, le Rancho Nacional et le Rancho Sausal, avec le projet de développer des activités agricoles à grande échelle. Il fait aussi construire un lotissement, Hilltown, mais perd la propriété de ses terres à la suite de difficultés financières. Malgré cela, il devient en 1854 le premier postier de la région de Salinas. Un autre entrepreneur, Jacob Leese, rachète la partie Rancho Sausal à la société de Hill. Il vend une parcelle de terre à Elias Howe, considéré comme le fondateur de la ville avec sa Halfway House rachetée par Alberto Trescony en 1857. Trescony y diversifie ses activités commerciales, et son American Hotel devient la première poste de la ville. Salinas prend les premières allures d'une ville dans le courant des années 1860. En 1868, le nombre d'édifices dans la ville passe d'une quinzaine à 125. En novembre 1872, la Southern Pacific Railroad opère la jonction avec Salinas et la ville est incorporée. L'agriculture de la région se focalise dans la production de céréales. Dans les années 1870, la ville se dote du télégraphe, de la distribution du gaz/eau/électricité, d'une rue bitumée, une banque, et de trois journaux locaux. 10% de la population est composée de Chinois. Dans les années 1880-1890, l'économie de la région se refocalise sur la production de la betterave.

Salinas (California)

Salinas è il capoluogo della contea di Monterey, negli Stati Uniti, nello Stato della California. Secondo la più recente stima fatta nel 2019 riguardo alla popolazione, questa risulta essere di 155 465 abitanti e quindi in leggero calo se confrontata a quella rilevata nel 2014; ciò sarebbe da attribuirsi in gran parte all'alto costo della vita in città. La città, in gran parte suburbana, è situata nella bocca della Salinas Valley, a circa 8 km dall'Oceano Pacifico e gode di un clima mite. Salinas è conosciuta per essere un centro agricolo. Vi è nato lo scrittore Premio Nobel John Steinbeck.
