Valley Music Theater

The Valley Music Theater was a theater-in-the-round performing arts hall located in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, California. It was just south of the Ventura Freeway at 20600 Ventura Boulevard, in the Chalk Hills of the western San Fernando Valley. The modernist style 2,865-seat facility opened in 1964, and was demolished in 2007 by a developer for a condominium project. History The Valley Music Theater was built in 1963, as a concrete shell structure, by pouring a concrete 'dome' over a rounded hill of soil, then excavating the soil away. The theater project was backed by entertainers Bob Hope and Art Linkletter, along with businessmen Cy Warner and Randolph Hale. The 2,865-seat facility opened July 6, 1964 with The Sound of Music. The first year saw the theater mount 18 musicals, three comedies, a drama, as well as concerts with a combined audience of over 600,000. Among the performers who appeared at the Valley Music Theater were Sammy Davis Jr., Johnny Carson, Don Rickles, Woody Allen, Ray Charles, Art Linkletter, Robert Goulet, Mitzi Gaynor, Eddie Fisher, Ike & Tina Turner, Peter, Paul & Mary, Janis Ian, B.B. King, Lou Rawls, Three Dog Night, Jim Croce, and the Spiral Starecase. The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, and The Doors appeared there together on February 22, 1967. It was featured as a music venue in the 1967 film, The Cool Ones. Demise By 1966 the theater began to fall on hard times. Over the years, the fare changed from legitimate theater, to rock concerts, to boxing matches, until in 1970's it became a Jehovah's Witness Regional Assembly Hall. In 1968, the front of the venue was used as a set in the TV series The Invaders on an episode called "Inquisition," where it portrayed the new electronics laboratory of 'Scoville Electronics & Manufacturing Co.' Exterior scenes showed the access road, parking area and main entrance of the building. By 2004, the church had outgrown the facility and sold the property, which it had bought for $1 million, to the developer JPI for $30 million. (LA Assessor's record Document 2014505 show sale at $25 million on 8/05/2004.) On Feb. 2017 The Watchtower requested release of funds from the sale in the amount of $18.6 million from local participating congregation owners. The disparity in the sold amount + interest of ~14 years and funds released of $18.6 in 2017 was not disclosed. JPI Development of Texas demolished the Valley Music Theater building in 2007, and planned to erect 350 condominiums on the 8.3-acre site. In April 2009, JPI defaulted on its loan of $41.8 million and the property was seized by Bank of America. The current owner is John Stanek of The Jefferson Project who has received preliminary approval May 27, 2011 for a mixed-use development consisting of retail shops and a maximum of 340 dwelling units. The project began in 2012, and remained under construction in 2013. In 2014, the site at 20600 Ventura Blvd. became The Boulevard Apartment Homes. References

Valley State Prison

Valley State Prison, tidigare Valley State Prison for Women, är ett delstatligt fängelse för manliga intagna och är belägen i Chowchilla, Kalifornien i USA. Den ligger mittemot ett annat delstatligt fängelse i kvinnofängelset Central California Women's Facility.

Fängelset har en kapacitet på att förvara 1 961 intagna men för den 23 november 2022 var det överbeläggning och den förvarade 2 932 intagna. Historik Fängelset invigdes 1995 som ett kvinnofängelse med namnet Valley State Prison for Women och förvarade kvinnliga intagna som hade dömts för feloni. Den var också Kaliforniens enda kvinnofängelse som hade säkerhetsnivån "isolering". År 2011 drev Kaliforniens delstatslegislatur genom en lag som resulterade i att kvinnliga intagna i Kaliforniens fängelsesystem och att återfall i brott för kvinnor sjönk drastiskt. Kaliforniens kriminalvårdsmyndighet California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation beslutade då att Valley skulle förvara en del manliga intagna och som var i behov att skyddas från andra intagna. I januari 2013 blev Valley ett fängelse för enbart manliga intagna och "for Women" togs då bort från fängelsets namn. Intagna Personer som varit intagna på Valley är bland andra Diane Downs och Andrew Luster. Referenser Externa länkar Officiell webbplats

In 37 years of operation, the circulation grew from 27,000 to more than 350,000 volumes annually. The old branch was closed in 1964, and replaced with a new branch in the Van Nuys Civic Center on the other side of Van Nuys Boulevard.

The restored and updated "New" Van Nuys branch library is again the Los Angeles Public Library branch for Van Nuys, in the expanded Van Nuys Government Center complex of public buildings that replaced the former Van Nuys Civic Center. In January 2019, the "New" Van Nuys branch library closed again for renovations. It was scheduled to reopen in summer 2020, but the renovations were delayed due to COVID-19.
