Kirk Douglas Theatre

The Kirk Douglas Theatre is a 317-seat theater located in Culver City, California, United States. Since 2004, it has been operated by the Center Theatre Group. History Built in 1946, as a Streamline Moderne movie palace with a seating capacity of 1,160 (on a stadium plan with no overhanging balcony), the Culver Theatre (as it was previously named) was located near the Columbia Pictures studio lot (then the lot for MGM). It opened on Wednesday August 13, 1947. Originally, much like surrounding downtown Culver City, the Culver was a key part of classic Hollywood's thriving entertainment community. But, eventually, much of the entertainment industry moved to points north and the theater grew tired and worn over the years. Today, the Culver, now renamed the Kirk Douglas Theatre, operates as a performing arts center and playhouse. An $8 million restoration project, with a $1.25 million grant from the City of Culver City, included the addition of two new stages, one with 100 seats and another with over 300 seats. Most of the exterior has been preserved, including the box office and the signature mezzanine tile. Awards and nominations References
Kirkwood Inn & Saloon

The Kirkwood Inn & Saloon (also known as Kirkwood Station or Kirkwood's) is a restaurant and bar located in Kirkwood, California, United States. It's situated at the intersection of three county lines: Alpine, Amador, and El Dorado counties, at 7,800 feet (2,400 m) up. It was built in 1864 and is a California Historical Landmark. History In 1860, pioneer Zachary Kirkwood moved to the area from Ohio. He acquired three 160-acre (65 ha) parcels of land. He used this land for a cattle ranch. In 1864 he built and opened Kirkwood Station. It served as an inn, post office, and a restaurant. Its convenient location, where three county lines meet, made it a popular stop for cattle ranchers and passing Washoe. When Prohibition took place, the inn had a bar on wheels that they would move across the different county lines that met in the bar depending on which members of law enforcement from certain counties were visiting. It is also believed they did this to avoid paying tax collectors their cut of liquor receipts. They also had slot machines hidden in the kitchen. In the 1960s, when the founders of the Kirkwood Mountain Resort came to visit the area, a snow storm took place. The entire inn was buried under the snowfall. The founders had arrived with a team for a snow survey. They used the survey poles to find the top of the Inn. After locating the structure, they were able to access the inside of the Inn. They lived in the buried building for eight days. Today The Kirkwood Inn is still a functioning restaurant and bar. It is owned by the Kirkwood Mountain Resort. It's an eco-friendly establishment; all of its food packaging is biodegradable or recyclable. They use all natural cleaning products, LED lighting and recycle their cooking oil into biodiesel. Architecture It is a log cabin. Today, it has a painted wooden sign out front, keeping with the traditional look and feel of the rustic architecture. The bar is made of mahogany. It also has a stone fireplace and furniture made of timber. The stone fireplace now contains a gas fireplace insert. The doorway is smaller than today's doors. Skiing described it as looking like "something straight out of F-Troop." References

Kit Carson Park

Kit Carson Park is a 285-acre (115 ha) municipal park in Escondido, California, United States. The park was named after Christopher (Kit) Carson, the famous scout who guided Captain John C. Frémont over the Sierra Nevada during a government exploration expedition. The park sits in a valley that is approximately 5 miles (8 km) west of where Kit Carson fought in the Battle of San Pasqual. A historical monument commemorating the battle is located on Mule Hill, one mile southeast of the park. History The City of Escondido acquired the land for its largest regional park from the City of San Diego in 1967. 100 acres (40 ha) of the park have been developed, and 185 acres (75 ha) have been preserved as natural habitat. The park has been described as the "city's recreation hub" with a "giant recreation complex".A Sports Center opened in 1997 which includes a 20,000-square-foot (1,900 m2) skate park, a soccer arena and an arena for inline hockey. Solar panels are being installed at the sports center, as well as near the softball fields, as part of a bigger project to generate energy atop Escondido city facilities. Escondido Skate Park features wooden ramps rather than concrete, found in typical skate parks. The wooden ramp make the park more flexible when it comes to adding ramps and other features, but also makes it prone to weather damage. The city of Escondido renovated the 22,000-square-foot park in 2009, removing rotted plywood, replacing hardware and waterproofing the new wood. More than 10,000 in-line skaters, skateboarders and BMX riders from age 6 to adult use the park each year. Queen Califia's Magical Circle, the only American sculpture garden by the internationally acclaimed artist Niki de Saint Phalle, opened in 2003 at the park. The park has been used as a command post and staging area during wildfires in the area. Park features Location The park's entrance is located five minutes from I-15 (off exit 27 for Via Rancho Parkway) at the corner of Bear Valley Parkway and Mary Lane, and opposite from San Pasqual High School.

Parc de Kit Carson à Escondido

Le Parc de Kit Carson à Escondido est un parc de loisirs, et un parc de sculptures. Créé en 1967 à Escondido, (Californie), en hommage à Kit Carson, un des héros de la Conquête de l'Ouest. Ce parc de ville, dont une partie est consacrée à la préservation de la nature, comporte de nombreux espaces de jeux ou de sport. Il a été choisi par Niki de Saint Phalle pour construire un ensemble de sculptures monumentales offertes à la ville : Queen Califia's Magical Circle. Il existe également un Kit Carson Park à Taos : le Kit Carson Memorial State Park que l'on envisage de renommer pour ne pas le confondre avec celui-ci . Le héros fondateur Kit Carson est considéré par George Fronval comme un « ami des indiens » Acoma parmi lesquels il a vécu avant de servir dans l'armée. Au lieu de vivre à Santa Fe, il s'était installé à Taos, village proche d'Escondido où il partageait la vie des indiens. Sa tombe se trouve non loin du Parc de Kit Carson à Escondido dans le cimetière de Taos. Bien qu'ayant participé aux guerres indiennes en particulier, sur ordre et apparemment à regret, à la guerre contre le peuple Navajo, il reste, selon la notule de l'historien Michel Mourre, une des figures les plus populaires du Far West. La dernière héroïne Peu de temps avant sa mort, Niki de Saint Phalle a entrepris un parc de sculpture monumentales qui n'a été achevé qu'après sa mort et ouvert au public le 26 octobre 2003 : Queen Califia's Magical Circle. L'artiste a été inspirée par les arts amérindiens comme le montrent les totems, mais aussi l'aigle que chevauche la reine Califia est, chez les indiens, le symbole du courage. Le serpent qui entoure les sculptures est aussi un symbole amérindien de l'énergie vitale. « Queen Califia constitue un hommage aux tribus indigènes d'Amérique et aux minorités hispaniques qui ont marqué l'identité frontalière d'une ville comme San Diego. » C'est aussi un hommage à la Californie et à sa fondatrice Califia, reine à peau noire. L'artiste a été inspirée par le livre du géologue John McPhee, et son ouvrage Assembling California qui explique comment la collision de plusieurs plaques tectoniques ont créé la Californie. Description du parc Selon le site officiel, Le Parc de Kit carson à Escondido (Kit Carson Park en anglais) possède trois lacs, des panneaux solaires , des courts de tennis, un terrain de baseball, un de football, un de softball, un amphithéâtre d'un contenance de 3000 places, un centre de sports, un terrain de golf.

Kong Chow Temple

Kong Chow Temple (traditional Chinese: 岡州古廟; simplified Chinese: 冈州古庙; pinyin: Gāngzhōu Gǔmiào; Jyutping: gong1 zau1 gu2 miu6) is a temple dedicated to Guan Di, located in the Chinatown neighborhood of San Francisco, California, in the United States. History The temple was founded, in 1849, by members of the Cantonese population of San Francisco. In 1854, the temple was renamed Kong Chow Clan Association, to stress the social activities planned by the temple. The Association provided social welfare and religious needs for the community. Like many buildings in the area, it was destroyed in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, and the community worked together to rebuild it at its original location, 520 Pine, near St. Mary's Square. The Los Angeles branch of the Kong Chow Family Association and Temple was designed by architect Gilbert Leong and opened in 1960. Bess Truman's visit Bess Truman visited the temple in 1948, where she prayed for positive results for her husband, Harry S. Truman's presidential run. While there, she also asked for a prediction about the results, due to the public's prediction that he would lose. She held a container of Kau cim sticks, and shook them until one of the sticks fell to the ground. This stick was then exchanged for a piece of paper, which told a story, offering insight to her question. The prediction was favorable, and Truman would go on to win the presidential election. The prediction slip that was given to her is displayed in the temple. Protests In 1968 and 1969, while in her nineties, Charlotte Ah Tye Chang led protests against plans to demolish the old Kong Chow Temple. Her niece, artist Nanying Stella Wong, joined her efforts. Chang did not live to see the old temple demolished, or the new Kong Chow Temple erected at another location in 1977. Today In 1977, the temple moved to its current building on Stockton Street in Chinatown, known as the Kong Chow Building. The association works closely with the elderly population, offers scholarships and other charitable projects for the neighborhood. They also organize prayer sessions, and participates in the Qing Ming Festival. Inside of the temple is a statue of Guan Di, which is worshipped in the main altar. References
