Los Altos History Museum

The Los Altos History Museum is a museum in Los Altos, California. Opened in 2001, the museum showcases the history of Los Altos and surrounding areas, including the transformation of the agricultural paradise once known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" into the high-tech Silicon Valley. The Los Altos History Museum is situated in one of the few remaining apricot orchards in the San Francisco Bay area. Admission is free. The museum features both a permanent exhibit as well as changing exhibits. Its permanent/flagship exhibit, titled "Making Connections: Stories from the Land," delivers an immersive, interactive multimedia experience of the events that transformed the landscape and the people who shaped this area, from the Ohlone people, to Spanish and Mexican land grantees, early settlers, apricot orchardists, and today's Silicon Valley residents. One highlight is a diorama of Los Altos as it appeared in 1932 with an operational O-scale model train representing the Southern Pacific rail line through the town that ran from 1907 through 1963 and ceased operating in 1964 to be replaced by Foothill Expressway. The museum's Changing Exhibits Gallery features two to four original exhibits a year on diverse topics. Social issues and land use are covered in detail, as are the lives of local residents. Across the courtyard, the J. Gilbert Smith house, built in 1905, was designated a local Historical Landmark and a California State Point of Historical Interest in 1987. The Craftsman-style home is fully furnished, depicting life during the Depression. An outdoors agricultural exhibit features an historic tank house showing traditional water management techniques, apricot cutting and sulfuring sheds, and a display of farm equipment, including a tractor to climb on. Adjacent to the museum grounds stands one of the last remaining apricot orchards in the community. The museum became stewards of the Los Altos Heritage Orchard in 2023, overseeing the preservation of this historical treasure. The education committee presents third- and fourth-grade history curriculum tours. Researchers are welcome to schedule an appointment to examine the museum's collection of over 20,000 documents, photographs, and objects relating to the history of the area. Both the museum and the oak-studded gardens are available for event rentals, including weddings, luncheons, reunions, memorials, or other private gatherings.

Los Angeles Police Department Memorial for Fallen Officers

The Los Angeles Police Department Memorial to Fallen Officers is a monument on an elevated plaza at the LAPD headquarters on 100 West 1st Street in downtown Los Angeles. The memorial was funded by the Los Angeles Police Foundation, who raised the $750,000 through private donations. The original tribute to fallen officers that was located at the previous headquarters at Parker Center was destroyed in the process of transport when moved to make room for a new jail. Design The memorial wall is designed by a team led by Robert Jernigan of Gensler, whose time was donated for the project. The wall is made up of more than two-thousand brass alloy plaques, two-hundred-two of which are inscribed with the names of fallen police officers. From a distance the memorial appears as a solid wall of lit brass. As visitors approach, it becomes evident that the wall is in fact a vast assemblage of discrete, engraved brass plates, seemingly suspended in air and light. This form dynamically honors the LAPD both as a collective whose duty is to protect the public, and as individuals whose role is to serve the public. The brass alloy is a reference to police officers' badges. Construction The construction was managed by Tudor Saliba, and produced and fabricated by Zahner in Kansas City. September 18, 2010, the project was packed and shipped to Los Angeles. Kansas City Police Officers escorted the memorial from Zahner out of the city as a show of support for fellow officers. As officers fall in the line of duty, blank brass panels are removed from the memorial and shipped to Zahner. The company water jet cuts the officer's name and ships it back to be installed on the memorial as a donated service to the Los Angeles Police Foundation. Dedication On October 14, 2009, the project was dedicated. The Police command, relatives of fallen officers, elected officials and donors gathered to dedicate the memorial wall. References
Mémorial du Los Angeles Police Department

Le mémorial des officiers du Los Angeles Police Department tombés en service, en anglais : Los Angeles Police Department Memorial for Fallen Officers, est un monument situé sur une place surélevée au siège du LAPD, au 100 West 1st Street, dans le centre-ville de Los Angeles. Le mémorial a été financé par la Fondation de la police de Los Angeles, qui a recueilli les 750 000 dollars grâce à des dons privés. L'hommage original aux officiers tombés en service, qui se trouvait au Parker Center, a été détruit lors de son transport pour faire place à une nouvelle prison. Conception Le mur commémoratif est conçu par une équipe dirigée par Robert Jernigan de la société Gensler. Le mur est composé de plus de deux mille plaques en alliage de laiton , dont deux cent deux portent les noms de policiers tombés au combat. De loin, le mémorial apparaît comme un solide mur de laiton éclairé. À mesure que les visiteurs s'approchent, il devient évident que le mur est en fait un vaste assemblage de plaques de laiton discrètes et gravées, apparemment suspendues dans l'air et la lumière. Cette forme honore de manière dynamique le LAPD à la fois en tant que collectif dont le devoir est de protéger le public et en tant qu'individus dont le rôle est de servir le public. L'alliage de laiton fait référence aux insignes des policiers.

Los Angeles State Historic Park

Los Angeles State Historic Park, also known as LA Historic Park and the Cornfield, is a California State Park in the Chinatown neighborhood of Los Angeles. The former rail yard and brownfield consists of a long open space between Spring Street and the tracks of the Los Angeles Metro A Line. History This former site of the Southern Pacific Transportation Company's River Station (1876−1901) is considered the "Ellis Island of Los Angeles" where new arrivals from the East first disembarked. Corn leaking from train cars and sprouting along the tracks gave rise to the nickname The Cornfield. The 32-acre (13 ha) site was established as a California state park in 2001. Park development In 2001, a 5-foot section (1.5 m) of the historical Zanja Madre irrigation canal was uncovered. In 2005, the former industrial site was transformed into a productive cornfield for one season as an art project called "Not a Cornfield." In 2006, a contest was held in conjunction with the California State Parks Foundation to select a design for the park. The preliminary park opened on September 23 of the same year. Hargreaves and Associates of San Francisco won the competition. Development of the park has been slow. California's budget deficit forced officials to scale back plans for the park in 2010, earmarking $18 million instead of the planned $55 million. Plans for a bridge, water fountain, theme gardens, an upscale restaurant, as well as an ecology center with restored wetlands were tabled. The tabled features may be added later if funding becomes available. The park open with a campfire circle, restrooms and parking lot. Numerous community fairs and gatherings have been held in the park. It also contains several plaques that relate the history of the Cornfield, Chinatown and Downtown Los Angeles.

Los Banos Municipal Airport

Los Banos Municipal Airport (IATA: LSN, ICAO: KLSN, FAA LID: LSN) is a city-owned public-use airport located one mile (1.6 km) west of the central business district of Los Banos, a city in Merced County, California, United States. Facilities and aircraft Los Banos Municipal Airport covers an area of 101 acres (41 ha) which contains one asphalt paved runway (14/32) measuring 3,801 x 75 ft (1,159 x 23 m). For the 12-month period ending June 15, 2011, the airport had 16,000 general aviation aircraft operations, an average of 44 per day. At that time there were 14 aircraft based at this airport: 79% single engine, and 7% helicopter, multi-engine, and jet aircraft respectively. Hazardous materials issues Historically a release of hazardous materials to the environment has occurred at the airport. Groundwater in the site vicinity is perched in a high water table, with depth to groundwater being only seven to ten feet below the surface. Therefore, any release of contaminants to the soil poses a risk to aquifer contamination. The chief hazardous substances of concern at the airport are derived from prior pesticides and herbicides used by crop dusting aircraft; these operations ceased in 1989. At the present time, no such flights are authorized from the airport; in fact, the only hazardous materials presently used and stored at the airport are those associated with the underground gasoline fuel storage tanks. Surface runoff and groundwater flow is generally to the northeast toward the San Joaquin River. Rinse water from maintenance operations flows into a storm drainage system and pesticide chemicals, which have previously contaminated soil and groundwater on the site, may have been introduced to the environment via this route. Contaminants include S,S,S-tributyl phosphorotrithioate (DEF), dicapthon, and bromophosethyl. These contaminants have been found in wells owned by the Los Banos Community Water District within three miles (5 km) of the airport.
