Plaster City, California

Plaster City, California is a company town with a large gypsum quarry and plant owned by United States Gypsum (USG) in Imperial County, California. It is located 17 miles (27 km) west of El Centro, at an elevation of 105 feet (32 m), a two-hour drive south of Palm Springs, or a 90-minute drive east from San Diego. The quarry and supporting railroad were started in 1920 by Imperial Valley Gypsum and Oil Corporation founder Samuel Dunnaway, a pharmacist from San Diego, then acquired by United States Gypsum in 1945. Plaster City is the southern terminus of the last industrial narrow gauge railroad in the United States. The 3 ft (914 mm) gauge line runs from another quarry about 22 miles (35 km) miles to the northwest, bringing gypsum to the plant. Plaster City is served by the former San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway, owned by Union Pacific Railroad to the east and the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System to the west. The route to the west is currently inactive. The first post office at Plaster City opened in 1924. The ZIP Code is 92251. Plaster City is surrounded by two Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Areas operated by the Bureau of Land Management: Plaster City West Off-Highway Vehicle Area and Plaster City East Off-Highway Vehicle Area. The Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail runs through the OHV areas. Publicity and media In the 1963 film It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, Ethel Merman's character is seen talking on a pay telephone to her son, saying that she was "in a place called Plaster City." In 1993 Plaster City was briefly the locale of the fully restored Eureka locomotive, one of the last narrow gauge steam locomotives from the height of railroad development in the West.

Plaza de César Chávez

The Plaza de César Chávez is an urban plaza and park in Downtown San Jose, California. The plaza was originally laid out by Spanish authorities in 1797, to serve as the plaza mayor of the Pueblo de San José de Guadalupe, making it the oldest public space in Northern California. The plaza was rededicated after Californian civil rights activist César Chávez in 1993. The Plaza de César Chávez is one of San Jose's primary civic spaces and the historic center of Downtown San Jose. It is bounded by numerous San Jose institutions and landmarks, including The Tech Museum of Innovation, the San Jose Museum of Art, City National Civic, San Jose State University, and Circle of Palms Plaza. The plaza hosts numerous notable events, including the San Jose Jazz Festival, Music in the Park and Christmas in the Park. History The Plaza was established when San Jose moved from its original location on the bank of the Guadalupe River to the current downtown location in 1797 and has been in use ever since, making it the oldest public open space in Northern California. The present-day park was the site of California's capitol from 1849 to 1851, a period during which the California Republic gained American statehood; hence, the site contained California's first state capitol. From 1889 to 1958, San Jose's city hall occupied the center of the park before the local government moved it northward to North First and Mission Streets. Today, San Jose City Hall is located nearby on Santa Clara Street. The Fairmont San Jose's main tower was built in 1987, while its annex tower was completed in 2002. In March 2026, Chavez's name was removed from a commemorative plaque in the park in response to recent sexual abuse allegations made against the plaza's namesake. Culture At different times of the year it hosts live music, cultural festivals, arts and crafts fairs, food shows, the official city Christmas tree, water fountains, and open-air theater. The San Jose Fountain Blues & Brews Festival is a two-day recurring event every summer. Founded in 1981, it is the longest-running blues festival on the West Coast. The Music in the Park concert series has been held in the park since 1988, except during the 2020 pandemic and in 2011 and 2012, when security issues forced the organizer of the formerly free series to take a break and return as a ticketed event. The San Jose Jazz Summer Fest has its main stage in the park. Since 2015, Silicon Valley Pride has been held in the vicinity of the plaza, which had hosted the event in the 1980s as well. Every winter from Thanksgiving until New Year's it hosts the Christmas in the Park. At the south end of the plaza is the statue of Quetzalcóatl by Robert Graham. In 2023, a group of San Jose civic leaders formed a Plaza Conservancy, a non-profit organization that intends to encourage public use of Plaza de Cesar Chavez and enhance the experience for park visitors through restoration and stewardship.

Pleasanton Public Library

The Pleasanton Public Library serves the city of Pleasanton in Alameda County, California. The library is located near downtown Pleasanton at 400 Old Bernal Avenue. The Pleasanton Women's Improvement Club was formed in 1908 to improve the community of Pleasanton, an agricultural town located in the "Tri-Valley" area east of San Francisco. Their first project was to establish a reading room. With $1,100 they raised at an "Old Maid's Convention" and other fundraisers, they purchased a site to house the Reading Room. In 1909, it was opened to the public. Books were donated and a librarian was hired for $10 per month. Honored guests for the formal opening were Mrs. Phoebe Apperson Hearst and her guest, the Consul of Persia. After Pleasanton's first city hall (now the Museum on Main Street) was built in 1915, the city leased a portion of it to the club for $1 per year to house the library and reading room. The library has grown to keep pace with Pleasanton as it changed from an agricultural town to a suburban residential community and one of the modern business centers of the East Bay area. In 1964, the library became a full member of the Alameda County Library system. In 1973, the need for growth led the library to a new 6,900-square-foot (640 m2) facility on Black Avenue, with approximately 35,000 books. In 1987, the city recognized the need for an even larger library and began construction on the current 30,000-square-foot (2,800 m2) facility, which opened in 1988. In 1999, in response to significant funding losses to the Alameda County Library system generated by California's "Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund", the City of Pleasanton withdrew from the system to become a municipal library. Since that time, use of the library has more than doubled, with more than 1.1 million items checked out in calendar year 2005. Management The Pleasanton Library Commission gather every first Thursday of the month at 7:00pm and advises the Pleasanton City Council and the Pleasanton City Manager by reviewing and providing input on policies related to library services. The director of the City of Pleasanton Library and Recreation Department is Heidi Murphy. References External links Official website of the Pleasanton Public Library
Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park

Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park is a 5,271-acre (21.33 km2) park in the East Bay Regional Park District overlooking Pleasanton, California and the Livermore Valley to the east. History Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park, located west of the I-680 freeway and the City of Pleasanton, California, became a reality in 1988, when the East Bay Regional Park District bought 1,700 acres (6.9 km2) to start what would become its second-largest park. In 1980, a real estate developer had proposed building a golf course and a number of new homes atop Pleasanton Ridge. A large number of area residents opposed the proposal and defeated it in a referendum in 1983. In 2012, the park district announced it had purchased 1,367 acres (5.53 km2) from Robertson Ranch, east of Palomares Road, which it would add to Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park. The tract included the landmark Sunol Peak (elevation 2,163 feet (659 m). The price was reported as $6.2 million. The report stated that prior to the purchase, the regional park contained 7,500 acres (30 km2) of land. Tyler Ranch acquisition The Tyler Ranch extends for about 3.5 miles (5.6 km) along Sunol Ridge. The north end of the ranch abutted the existing Pleasanton Ridge park at the end of Kilkare Road. It also has good access from Foothill Road. The acquisition was supported by the Priem Family Foundation, which is dedicated to preserving open space in the greater Bay Area. The park was scheduled to grow by almost 1,500 acres (6.1 km2) (sic) with the acquisition of the Tyler Ranch. EBRPD claimed that the Tyler Ranch acquisition marked the occasion when the district acquired 100,000 acres since it was formed in 1934. The Tyler Ranch Staging Area, located on the holdings of Tyler Ranch and Robertson Ranch, opened in December 2023 and offers additional walking, horseback riding, and cycling spaces on over 18 miles of trails across 2,800 acres. Trails Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park contains over 25 miles (40 km) of trails, most of which are dirt roads, except for the Woodland Trail, the Bay Leaf Trail, and a few sections of the North Ridge and Ridgeline trails. Park elevations range from 400 feet (120 m) at the main entrance to over 1,600 feet (490 m) at the highest point. Adjacent to the park is the Augustin Bernal Park. The 237-acre park was donated to the city of Pleasanton by Walter S. Johnson in 1971. Geology and geography Pleasanton Ridge is the southeastern component of the East Bay Hills, which refers geologically to all of the ranges east of the Bay from the Hayward Fault in the west to the Calaveras Fault in the east. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) Geographic Names Information System, however, includes Pleasanton Ridge as part of the Diablo Range in its list of GPS coordinates for the latter.

Plumas National Forest

Plumas National Forest is a 1,146,000-acre (464,000 ha) United States national forest located in northern California at the northern terminus of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. The Forest was named after its primary watershed, the Rio de las Plumas, or Feather River. Part of the natural area is old-growth forest and recognized by the Old-Growth Forest Network. Geography About 85% of Plumas National Forest lies in Plumas County, portions extend into eastern Butte, northern Sierra, southern Lassen, and northeastern Yuba counties. Management The land is managed by the United States Forest Service under the Department of Agriculture with local management stationed at the Plumas National Forest Supervisor's office in Quincy, California. The forest is also subdivided into three Ranger Districts, the Beckwourth Ranger District, the Feather River Ranger District and the Mt. Hough Ranger District, with local management in Blairsden, Oroville, and Quincy, respectively. History Plumas was established as the Plumas Forest Reserve by the United States General Land Office on March 27, 1905. In 1906 the forest was transferred to the United States Forest Service, and on March 4, 1907, it became a National Forest. On July 1, 1908, a portion of Diamond Mountain National Forest was added. The Bucks Lake Wilderness was officially designated in 1984 as a part of the National Wilderness Preservation System. Ecology A 2002 study by the Forest Service identified 127,000 acres (51,000 ha) of the forest as old-growth, using an economic type definition. The most common old-growth forest types are mixed conifer forests of: Coast Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii) Pacific and Columbia Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa ssp. critchfieldiana) in the west, transitioning to (P. ponderosa ssp. ponderosa) in the far eastern section Sierra White fir (Abies concolor ssp. lowiana) Jeffrey pine (Pinus jeffreyi) Red rir (Abies magnifica) Sierra Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta ssp. murrayana) Incense cedar (Calocedrus decurrens) Sugar pine (Pinus lambertiana) Virtually no virgin timberland exists, as the area has been a logging epicenter starting with the gold rush continuing into the modern era.

Plummer Park

Plummer Park is a park in West Hollywood, California, United States, on the eastern side of the city. The park is between Santa Monica Boulevard and Fountain Avenue, bordered by North Vista Street and North Fuller Avenue, 6 blocks west of La Brea Avenue. The east side of West Hollywood is dominated by Russian speaking immigrants, and the park is a popular gathering place for Russians. History In 1874, Col. Eugenio Plummer acquired official title to 160 acres (65 ha) from Señora Francisca Perez, who had occupied this land under preemption law in 1869. Plummer Park and Plummer House were acquired by Los Angeles County from Senor Plummer in 1937 for $15,000. The Los Angeles Audubon Society (LAAS) has been headquartered in Plummer House since then and (in 1983) moved into another building in Plummer Park (Great Hall-Long Hall) which was originally constructed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1937. In popular culture, alternative rock singer Michael Knott, features Plummer Park as the setting for his song “Bubbles” on his album Rocket and a Bomb. "Song Lyrics Bubbles". July 2025. In 2005, a Russian Veterans Memorial was built in the park. While supported by many local residents, it was criticized as being inappropriate given that some might interpret it as honoring the USSR under Joseph Stalin. In May 2011 the Audubon Society was given notice to leave by the city of West Hollywood who are planning to demolish the building in 2012 and create underground parking as part of a controversial plan to create a modern park. A group of residents called Protect Plummer Park was organized in early 2011 to preserve the historic Plummer Park.
