Biscuit Company Lofts

The Biscuit Company Lofts is a 7-story building in Los Angeles, California. Built in 1925 as a factory, the building was converted to live/work lofts in 2006. History Conceived as the west coast headquarters for the National Biscuit Company, this landmark structure was designed by Eckel & Aldrich of St. Joseph, Missouri. Constructed in 1925 for a cost of 2 million dollars, this 7 story factory quickly became an architectural sensation. In 2006, the building underwent a $25,000,000 renovation by Aleks Istanbullu Architects to convert the building to lofts. In 2007, developer Linear City LLC completed restoration of the property, part of the larger downtown L.A. gentrification effort that saw the repurposing of the area's mostly-abandoned industrial structures into 104 live/work lofts. Swinerton Builders operated as the general contractor on the renovation project. Building amenities include a 24-hour doorman, a 75-foot-long saline swimming pool and a gym. L.A.’s Office of Historic Resources declared the building an historic cultural monument in 2007. As a designated historical monument, the Biscuit Company Lofts qualifies for the Mills Act Program, a provision that offers homeowners an allowance on their annual property taxes. In 2022, Justin Lin sold his 4,300 square penthouse atop the 7th floor of Biscuit Company Lofts for $5.5 million. In popular culture The building was featured in Downtown with Huell Howser.

Bishop García Diego High School

Bishop García Diego High School (BGDHS) is an independent private, Roman Catholic high school in Santa Barbara, California. Established in 1959, the school is named for Bishop Francisco García Diego y Moreno, the first bishop of the Diocese of the Two Californias. History Bishop García Diego High School traces its roots to Dolores School, an all-girls Catholic high school that opened in 1914 in downtown Santa Barbara. The school was renamed Notre Dame High School in the early 1920s and became co-educational as The Santa Barbara Catholic High School in 1940. In 1959, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles assumed sponsorship of the school, moving it to its present location at the base of San Marcos Pass and renaming it after California's first bishop, Bishop Francisco García Diego y Moreno.

Bishop Ranch Regional Preserve

Bishop Ranch Regional Preserve (BRRP), also known as Bishop Ranch Regional Open Space Preserve is a 444-acre (1.80 km2) regional park on a ridge top at the edge of San Ramon, California. It is near a residential area, west of San Ramon Valley Road and south of Bollinger Canyon Road. Trails are steep and there are no facilities other than a trailhead. It is part of the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD). Bishop Ranch preserve is primarily a place for observing nature. There are three trails for hiking biking and horseback riding, but no facilities for picnicking or camping. The steep terrain makes the trails generally unsuitable for wheelchairs. In August, 2015, EBRPD announced that it had acquired a 362 acres (1.46 km2) tract along the Calaveras Ridge that will be added to BRRP, connecting Bishop Ranch with Dublin Hills Regional Park.. EBRPD board member Beverly Lane said this is part of an EBRPD plan to create a continuous trail that will reach from Sunol to Lafayette through six regional parks. It cost $2 million, and was previously owned by the Wiedemann family, which had raised cattle here since the 1860s. The new addition includes the local landmark, Harlan Hill, which rises to an elevation of 1,719 feet (524 m). EBRPD must complete a land-use plan for the Bishop Ranch open space, before it can open this new acquisition for public use.

Bishop Union High School

Bishop Union High School (BUHS) is a public high school in Bishop, California. It is part of the Bishop Unified School District. The school is located at 301 North Fowler Street. The current principal is Erik Forsman. The superintendent is Katherine Kolker. There are currently thirty-nine teachers at Bishop Union, with a wide variety of subjects and electives. The most favored teacher, Arnie Palu, has been voted amongst the “top teachers” in the school for ~13 years. Classes at the school run from 8:30 am to 2:30 pm on Mondays and 8:30 am to 3:35 pm Tuesdays through Fridays. Numerous programs including bilingual is offered through the guidance office. The 2011–2012 academic year began August 22, 2011 and ended with graduation day on June 8, 2012. Bishop Union High School has a current enrollment of approximately 800 students. Enrollment figures in the late 1970s and into the early 1990s hovered around 1,000 students. The nearby Union Carbide mine closure, coupled with the City of Los Angeles ownership of most of the land around Bishop, therefore controlling community development, caused Bishop schools to suffer a downturn in enrollment in the late 1990s and into the 2000s. Athletics The Bishop Union Broncos compete in the High Desert League of the CIF Central Section. Twelve different varsity sports are offered. In the mid-1990s the Broncos competed in the Southern California Desert Inyo League, which then became the High Desert League. For several decades, the Broncos competed with rival schools Paraclete (Lancaster, Calif.), Burroughs (Ridgecrest, Calif.) and Tehachapi (Tehachapi, Calif.) in sports. However, enrollments in both Burroughs and Tehachapi's schools grew larger than Bishop and moved on to larger divisions. In 2010, the Broncos beat the Boron Bobcats 30–22 to win the CIF Southern Section Football Championship. In 2013, the High Desert League moved from the CIF Southern Section, to the CIF Central Section. In 2019, the Broncos beat Orosi, CA. 34–7 to win the CIF Central Section Division 6 Championship. The Broncos advanced to the CIF State Bowl game for Division 6A, against Salesian College Preparatory (Richmond, CA.). Bishop Union High School lost the game 37–18.

Bixby Creek Bridge

Le pont de Bixby Creek (en anglais : Bixby Creek Bridge) est un pont en arc en béton armé situé sur la côte de Big Sur, en Californie (États-Unis), à 190 km au sud de San Francisco et 21 km au sud de Carmel-by-the-Sea, dans le comté de Monterey. Inauguré le 27 novembre 1932, il permet à la California State Route 1 de franchir Bixby Creek. Ce pont est représenté dans le jeu Grand Theft Auto V, à proximité du Ranton Canyon. L'État de San Andreas, dans lequel le jeu se déroule, est d'ailleurs très largement inspiré de l'État californien. Le pont apparaît dans la scène d'ouverture de la série américaine Big Little Lies, dont l'histoire se déroule à Monterey. Le pont a atteint une renommée mondiale car il peut être vu sur les images de fond d'écran du système d'exploitation Apple macOS Big Sur. Les coûts de construction à l'époque étaient de 199.861 dollars. De 1996 à 1999, la sécurité sismique du pont a été améliorée pour 20 millions de dollars.

Bixby Creek Bridge

De Bixby Creek Bridge of de Bixby Bridge is een boogbrug in de kuststreek Big Sur van de Amerikaanse staat Californië. De brug ligt in Monterey County op zo'n 190 kilometer ten zuiden van San Francisco en 21 kilometer ten zuiden van Carmel. Ze maakt deel uit van het traject van de State Route 1. Voor de brug in 1932 in gebruik werd genomen, waren de inwoners van de kuststreek Big Sur in de winter zo goed als afgesloten van de buitenwereld, doordat de verder landinwaartse Old Coast Road moeilijk te berijden is. De boogbrug van gewapend beton met open zwikken, met een overspanning van 98 meter, kostte bijna 200 duizend Amerikaanse dollar. Het is nog steeds een van de hoogste betonnen bruggen ter wereld met één ononderbroken overspanning. De Bixby Creek Bridge is door haar ontwerp en idyllische ligging bovendien een van de meest gefotografeerde bruggen langs de Stille Oceaankust. In de populaire cultuur De brug is veel gefotografeerd en gefilmd, onder andere in verschillende reclamefilmpjes voor automerken. De Bixby-brug kwam voor in de intro van de televisieserie Then Came Bronson (1969-1970) en in de films Play Misty for Me (1971) en The Sandpiper (1965). Ze kwam ook in beeld tijdens het eerste seizoen van Heroes (2006), hoewel de bewuste scène zich in Texas afspeelde. Ze was eveneens te zien tijdens de begintitels van Big Little Lies (2017-2019). In de serie rijden de personages af en toe over de brug. In 2010 gaf de United States Postal Service een postzegel uit ter ere van de Bixby Creek Bridge. "Bixby Canyon Bridge" is een nummer van de Amerikaanse band Death Cab For Cutie van op hun plaat Narrow Stairs (2008). Het nummer is geschreven tijdens een bezoek van Ben Gibbard aan Big Sur en bevat verwijzingen naar de literatuur van Jack Kerouac.

Bakersfield

Bakersfield er en by i den amerikanske delstat Californien. Bakersfield er hovedbyen i Kern County (Amt), byen har en befolkning på 307.471 indb. (2005). Byen opstod da der i 1851 blev fundet guld i området, og befolkningstallet øgedes yderligere da der blev ført en jernbanestrækning dertil. Byen blev i 1952 ramt af et jordskælv, hvilket har medført at byen i dag mest består af lavere bebyggelse, spredt ud over et større område. Geografi Bakersfield ligger knap 200 km. nord for Los Angeles og ca. 500 km. sydøst for Sacramento (delstatens hovedstad). Bakersfield er den største by i USA, der ikke er forbundet direkte til det veludbyggede amerikanske motorvejsnet (Interstate). En del film er optaget i og omkring byen: "X-Files"(1998) "K-PAX"(2001), "Menneskejagt"(1959) "Thelma & Louise" (1991) "Wag the Dog" (1997) "The Break Up" (1998) "Psycho" (1960). Andet Bakersfield er berygtet for sin tåge/dis, der kan havde en sigtbarhed ned til 3 meter. Bakersfield har en meget dårlig luftkvalitet; kun Los Angeles har en dårligere i hele USA. Bakersfield havde i tresserne et meget aktivt countrymusik miljø, som var en alternativ stil til Nashvilles familiepopagtige version af genren. Her fremstod sangere som Buck Owens og Merle Haggard.
