Toyota Pavilion at Concord

Toyota Pavilion at Concord (formerly known as Concord Pavilion) is an amphitheatre located in Concord, California. It is owned by the City of Concord and operated by Live Nation. The Pavilion has a capacity of 12,500 people and opened in 1975 as the Concord Pavilion. It is used for concerts, local community events (including an annual jazz festival) and local high school graduations. The Pavilion was designed by architect Frank Gehry and landscape architect Peter Walker. Gehry also designed its 1996 renovation and expansion, which included more parking and seats. The venue has hosted numerous professional musical acts over the years of its operation and continues to do so to this day. Bing Crosby played his last US concert at the Pavilion on August 16, 1977, the day another American music icon, Elvis Presley died. Lawrence Welk's appearance at the Concord Pavilion on June 13, 1982, was billed as his farewell performance. Legendary concert promoter Bill Graham was killed in a 1991 helicopter crash after leaving a concert at the Pavilion by Huey Lewis and the News, having just discussed with the band about organizing a benefit for the victims of that year's fire in the Oakland Hills; Graham's production company, Bill Graham Presents (BGP), had been the booking agent for the Concord Pavilion since 1985. In a deal with the city of Concord, Bill Graham Presents took over operations of the facility in February 2000. Shortly thereafter, its name was changed to the Chronicle Pavilion at Concord, following the purchase of the naming rights by the business agent of the San Francisco Chronicle, the San Francisco Newspaper Agency. BGP was purchased in 2000, along with its parent, SFX Promotions, by Clear Channel Communications; in 2005, Clear Channel would spin off its concert operations into Live Nation, which operates the Pavilion to this day. The Pavilion changed its name in April 2006, when it became the Sleep Train Pavilion after the California-based mattress retailer (now a Houston, Texas-based company) purchased the naming rights; by 2017 the retailer folded into Mattress Firm. In December 2013, as part of a 10-year contract renewal between Venue Nation (previously known as Live Nation) and the City of Concord, the Pavilion's name was changed again to the Concord Pavilion. On August 3, 2023, the Pavilion was renamed Toyota Pavilion at Concord after the local Northern California Toyota Dealers Association, which consists of 58 local Toyota dealers operating in the northern half of the state, purchased the naming rights. The inaugural High School Battle of the Bands for high school students took place in 2006 and the winner was Poster Boy, consisting of brothers Tyler and Clint Cornfield.

Sleepy Hollow, Chino Hills, California

Sleepy Hollow is a neighborhood situated in Carbon Canyon among the Chino Hills within the city of Chino Hills in San Bernardino County. The western boundary of the neighborhood adjoins the city of Brea in Orange County. History Prior to European colonization, Sleepy Hollow was exclusively inhabited by the Tongva people. The modern neighborhood was founded by Cleve and Elizabeth (Heald) Purington on about eighty acres in the 1920s, the community was subdivided into small cabin lots geared towards non-permanent residents. Purington, in 1925, created the Sleepy Hollow Water and Improvement Company, which had capital of $14,000 issued in 280 certificates of $50 each, to develop the neighborhood. Many of these cabins, some greatly altered, are still found in the neighborhood, which likely benefitted from the paving of Carbon Canyon Road (also State Route 142) in 1925. After World War II, Sleepy Hollow began to be inhabited more by full-time residents. Sleepy Hollow had a cafe and tavern called Ichabod's that later became a store and gas station (now known as Canyon Market) and there was another grocery store at the far eastern end of the community later. Other interesting historical features included the volunteer fire house and community center, now replaced by a modern community center built in the early 2000s, and the community church, which is now a private residence. A natural stream, known as Carbon Creek or Carbon Canyon Creek also winds through Sleepy Hollow and a hot springs existed at the bank of the creek just along the north edge of the state highway. As a canyon community, Sleepy Hollow has been threatened several times by major fires, including in 1929, 1958, and 1990, all of which brought the loss of homes in the neighborhood. In November 2008, the massive Freeway Complex Fire burned to the very edges of the community and forced the evacuation of nearly all of its residents for three days, but, incredibly, no homes were lost. The City of Chino Hills has developed an evacuation and emergency access system for Sleepy Hollow and other neighborhoods within the Canyon. Sleepy Hollow now has about 130 houses and about 300 to 400 residents. While development to the east since the late 1980s has greatly increased commuter traffic on Carbon Canyon Road, the neighborhood still retains a country feel that belies the suburbanization that goes on around it.

Smithsonian Institution Shelter

The Smithsonian Institution Shelter, also known as the Mount Whitney Summit Shelter and the Mount Whitney Hut, was built in 1909 on the summit plateau of Mount Whitney, in the Sierra Nevada within Sequoia National Park, in California. It is the highest permanent building in the contiguous United States. History The shelter at the summit was proposed after Byrd Surby, a U.S. Fisheries employee, was killed by lightning on the summit in 1904. It was built to house scientists who used the 14,505-foot (4,421 m) summit to study high-altitude phenomena in the era before sustained high-altitude flight became feasible. Samuel Pierpont Langley recommended this location to the government as a prime spot for an observatory following an expedition in the area. Plans to establish a summit shelter were made in 1908. In 1909, the site was utilized by Charles Greeley Abbot, the director of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, to conduct spectroscopic observations of Mars, aiming to investigate the presence of water on the planet. Other studies conducted at the site included observations of cosmic rays and nocturnal radiation. Although the structure was built in part as a shelter from storms, hikers are now warned against seeking shelter there during lightning storms. Landmark Gustave F. Marsh, the builder of the summit trail, built the shelter with funding from the Smithsonian Institution, with assistance from the Lick Observatory. The mortared granite shelter comprises three rooms in a line with windows in each and doors in the north and south rooms. The roof is corrugated metal on a steel truss frame. The materials to build the shelter were carried to the summit by donkeys. The shelter has a log book that hikers may sign. The site has been considered for National Historic Landmark status, but has not been recommended for submission yet. However, in 1977 the Smithsonian Institution Shelter was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. References

Sobrato Office Tower

Sobrato Office Tower is a 17-story, class-A office building located at 488 Almaden Boulevard in San Jose, California. It is the fourth tallest building in the city. The building was completed in 2002. It though remained unoccupied for nine years. In 2007 Sobrato sold the building for $135 million to BEA Systems, which itself was subsequently acquired / purchased by Oracle in 2008. On November 17, 2010, it was announced that PricewaterhouseCoopers would lease 209,000 square feet (19,400 m2) on eight floors (levels 10-17) of the building beginning June 2011, thus leaving their 165,000 ft2 (15,300 m2) 10 Almaden Boulevard location in San Jose. In 2021, shortly after its headquarters moved to Austin, TX from Redwood Shores, Oracle then sold the building for $155 million to PIMCO (global investment management firm) and Lane Partners (a Menlo Park, Calif.-based company that specializes in institutional-quality real estate in Northern California), making a profit of nearly $20 million over the course of its 13 year ownership. In 5/2025, the building was then sold to the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority for $63.7 million, a price that was 60.9% below the property's assessed value of $163.1 million. The VTA stated that they plan move their current headquarters / staff to the building sometime in 2026. History At different times, the City of San Jose, Nvidia, Sony, and BEA were each noted publicly to be negotiating to lease space in the building but none of those reported negotiations resulted in a tenancy. Criticism of the building and possible reasons for its inability to attract tenants have often focused on its location being too far from downtown San Jose. Chihuly glass sculpture (Lobby) As part of the initial development, the Sobrato family commission a glass sculpture from artist, Dale Chihuly. It is / was 19 feet tall and hung in the lobby. From photos, it resembled a huge “Pigpen” character in blue, entwining wild strands of glass. (People familiar with Chihuly’s art say such a piece could easily cost between $500,000 and $1 million). In 2007, after the sale to BEA, the sculpture was apparently taken down and placed into storage. The sculpture apparently remained in storage under Oracle's ownership. As of 2025, it is unclear as to both the whereabouts or ownership of the sculpture. References External links Sobrato Organization
Soda Springs Cabin

The Soda Springs Cabin is a historic structure in Yosemite National Park in the US, built over Soda Springs. It was built around the year 1889 by John Baptist Lembert, the first white settler on the Tuolumne Meadows area of Yosemite. Lembert had filed a claim to 160 acres (65 ha) in Tuolumne Meadows in 1885 after spending three summers in the area with a flock of angora goats. He built a log cabin directly over the largest soda spring in the area. Although the property was within the park boundaries, Lembert received a patent to the property in 1895. Lembert's cabin was built along the Great Sierra Wagon Road over the Sierra Nevada. He also became a guide for tourists in the high country, gaining a reputation as a naturalist and entomologist. He spent the winter months near Cascade Creek in the Yosemite Valley. The ruins of the cabin are located directly over the gaseous spring and are thought to have functioned as a spring-house, rather than as a dwelling, preventing livestock from fouling the spring. The cabin measures 9 feet (2.7 m) by 11 feet (3.4 m). Its walls extend to about 7 feet (2.1 m). There is no roof. The cabin had no windows and one door in the north side. The logs are laid with V-notched joints. Lembert had spent his early life in New York and received a classical education reading Latin. He was murdered in his Cascade Creek cabin in the winter of 1896–1897 in a robbery. His obituary appeared in Entomological News. Lembert Dome was named in his memory. The McCauley Cabin is located on Lembert's former winter property. The Soda Springs property was inherited by Lembert's brothers who sold it to J.J McCauley in 1898. McCauley sold the Soda Springs property to the Sierra Club in 1912. The site was operated as a private campground for Sierra Club members until 1972, when the club signed over the land to the National Park Service. The Park Service operated the campground for the public until 1976, when it was closed down. The cabin was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 19, 1979.

Солано (паром)

«Солано» (англ. Solano) — американский деревянный железнодорожный колёсный паром, принадлежавший компании Central Pacific Railroad, ходивший через пролив Каркинес между Бенишей и Port Costa в штате Калифорния. Проработал на этой линии в течение 51 года: с 1879 по 1930 годы. История Паром был спроектирован Артуром Брауном, управляющим мостами и зданиями Central Pacific Railroad, который укрепил паром так же, как железнодорожные мосты, используя четыре деревянные фермы Пратта в продольном направлении под палубой судна. «Солано» был оснащён двумя 2000-сильными паровыми двигателями, каждый из которых приводил в действие гребное колесо на обеих сторонах корабля. Лопастные колёса работали независимо друг от друга, что придавало парому высокую маневренность, необходимую для преодоления течения в проливе Каркинес (около 8 миль в час). Паромные эстакады и подходы также были спроектированы Артуром Брауном. Расстояние между берегами составляло одну милю, расчетное время в пути, включая причаливание — девять минут. Благодаря двум капитанским рубкам на обеих концах парома, не было необходимости разворачивать паром для обратных рейсов. На судне имелось четыре железнодорожных пути, и оно могло перевозить за один рейс пассажирский поезд с 24 вагонами и локомотивом или грузовой поезд с 48 вагонами и локомотивом. Эксплуатация Железнодорожный паром, названный в честь калифорнийского округа Солано, был построен в 1879 году в Окленде, штат Калифорния. Имея в длину 130 метров, став самым большим паромом такого типа в мире, и вторым по длине деревянным судном после шхуны «Вайоминг». Испытания «Солано» начались 24 ноября 1879 года с верфи Meigg’s Wharf с 75 приглашёнными гостями на борту. Паром мог двигаться со скоростью около 12 миль в час, хотя в первый день испытания она не превышала 8 миль в час. Паром начал курсировать между Бенишей и Портом-Коста 1 декабря 1879 года. За исключением некоторого времени нахождения в сухих доков для модернизации и ремонта, «Солано» находился в непрерывной эксплуатации 24 часа в сутки в течение 51 года: с 1 декабря 1879 года по 15 октября 1930 года. 31 мая 1928 года компания Southern Pacific Transportation Company санкционировалf строительство железнодорожного моста от восточной стороны Бениши до Мартинеса, который находится к востоку от Порта-Коста. Железнодорожный мост был открыт 15 октября 1930 года и паром «Солано» был выведен из эксплуатации. После открытия железнодорожного моста «Солано» был разобран и некоторые его части проданы на металлолом. То, что осталось от этого железнодорожного парома все ещё можно увидеть там, где она был затоплен, чтобы создать волнолом на реке Сан-Хоакин недалеко от города Антиок, Калифорния.
