Мост Винсента Томаса

Мост Винсента Томаса (англ. Vincent Thomas Bridge) — автодорожный висячий мост через гавань Лос-Анджелеса в штате Калифорния, США, соединяющий портовый район Лос-Анджелеса Сан-Педро с островом Терминал. Введён в эксплуатацию 15 ноября 1963 года. Длина самого длинного пролёта составляет 460 м. Мост назван в честь члена законодательного органа Сан-Педро Винсента Томаса и является составной частью 47-й калифорнийской трассы (California State Route 47). Это третий по длине висячий мост Калифорнии, а также 76-й по длине пролёта из всех мостов в мире. История Причиной возведения моста стало увеличение объёма транспортных перевозок к порту, который располагался неподалёку. До этого перевозки осуществлялись паромами, которые соединяли район Сан-Педро и остров Терминал. Инициатором строительства моста был законодатель Винсент Томас, который представлял Сан-Педро. В течение всего периода строительства моста и в первые годы после его открытия за бесперспективность и бесполезность его называли «мост в никуда». Но уже начиная с 1970-х годов значение моста резко возросло из-за близкого расположения к нему портов Лос-Анджелес и Лонг-Бич, ставших главными портами Западного Побережья США. Инцидент 19 августа 2012 года 68-летний кинорежиссёр Тони Скотт, оставив в своей машине предсмертную записку, содержание которой не разглашается, после полудня по местному времени покончил жизнь самоубийством, бросившись с моста Винсента Томаса.

Міст Вінсента Томаса

Міст Вінсента Томаса (англ. Vincent Thomas Bridge) — підвісний міст через гавань Лос-Анджелес в штаті Каліфорнія, США, що сполучає портовий район Лос-Анджелеса Сан-Педро з островом Термінал. Введений в експлуатацію 15 листопада 1963 року, довжина найдовшого прольоту становить 460 м. Міст названий на честь члена місцевого законодавчого органу Сан-Педро Вінсента Томаса і є складовою частиною 47 каліфорнійської траси. Це третій за довжиною підвісний міст Каліфорнії, а також 76-й за найдовшим прольотом міст у світі. Історія Причиною побудови мосту стало збільшення обсягу послуг транспортних перевезень до порту, що розташовувався неподалік. До цього перевезення здійснювалися поромами, які сполучали район Сан-Педро і острів Термінал. Прихильноком побудови мосту був державний законодавець Вінсент Томас, який представляв собою Сан-Педро і тому спеціальним законодавчим актом міст було названо на честь Томаса, ще за роки обіймання ним своєї посади. Протягом всього періоду будівництва мосту і в перші роки після його відкриття, він висміюювався як «міст у нікуди». Але вже починаючи з 1970-х років значення мосту почало різко зростати, через близьке розташування до нього портів Лос-Анджелес і Лонг-Біч, що стали головними портами Західного Узбережжя США. Сьогодні через міст здійснюються значні обсяги перевезення, що відіграє важливу роль в економіці міста Зображення у мистецтві Міст Вінсента Томаса зображений в основній сцені погоні оригінальної версії фільму Викрасти за 60 секунд (1974), режисера Генрі Галікі. Він також фігурує у рімейку 2000 року Викрасти за 60 секунд, з Ніколасом Кейджом у головних ролях. Міст з'являвся в телесеріалі CHiPs, в епізоді 1977 року «Taking Its Toll». Міст іноді видно у відкритті сцени в телевізійному шоу The Love Boat (1977-1986). Також міст Вінсента Томаса був зображений у багатьох інших фільмах і телесеріалах: Жити й померти в Лос-Анджелесі, Ангели Чарлі, Національна безпека, Притулок, Trapper John, M.D., America's Toughest Jobs, Таємний шанувальник, Протистояння.

Fortynine Palms Oasis

Fortynine Palms Oasis is in oasis located in Joshua Tree National Park, California, accessible via the Fortynine Palms Oasis Trail, a three-mile, out and back trail, with a 300-foot elevation gain in both directions. Information The trail starts at Fortynine Palms Parking Area, goes up and over a ridge dotted with barrel cacti, and descends to a palm oasis in a rocky canyon. The palm trees were planted by miners in the early 1900s to easily locate the natural spring located there. The oasis is frequently used as a watering hole for bighorn sheep. In July 2018 a Canadian hiker, Paul Miller, went missing while on the trail. His remains were found off the trail in January 2020. References External links Joshua Tree National Park Stargazing
Broadway Pier, San Diego

Broadway Pier is a pier in San Diego, California, located on San Diego Bay at the intersection of Broadway and North Harbor Drive. It houses one of San Diego's two cruise ship terminals. History Built in 1913, the pier has a long history of servicing passenger vessels. The 800-foot (240 m) pier was the first of San Diego's reinforced concrete piers found on the bay. It has been operated by the Port of San Diego since 1962. In the 1970s, Broadway Pier was remodeled by San Diego architecture firm Innis-Tennebaum Architects' Donald Innis. It was designed and configured so that a person looking down Broadway could still see the bay (this is no longer the case with the new remodeled structure that was built in its place). Its innovative 1970s remodeling also originally featured planter boxes with trees and foliage, which was one of the first of its type of above-water structures to do this. The pier was featured as a location in the 1979 film Hardcore directed by Paul Schrader and starring George C. Scott (standing in as Los Angeles) and was also the location for the 2003 premiere party for Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, a film directed by Peter Weir. In 2010, the 1970s version of the Broadway Pier building was demolished and a modern cruise ship terminal was erected in its place.

Brockman Building

The Brockman Building is a 12-story Beaux-Arts, Classical, and Romanesque Revival style building located on 7th Street in Downtown Los Angeles. History Built in 1912, the Brockman Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. The building was built in 1912 for John Brockman (1841-1925) and designed by George D. Barnett (1863-c. 1925) of Barnett, Haynes & Barnett. The Brockman Building was the first building west of the Broadway Commercial District to reach the city's 150-foot height limit. Brockman's move started a westward movement of the downtown commercial district and turned Seventh Street into the city's high-end retail district. Several department stores (including the original J.W. Robinson Co.) and office buildings were developed along Seventh Street after the Brockman Building was completed. In 1917 J. J. Haggarty, a large department store-style apparel retailer moved from Broadway to occupy the ground floor. Role in the film Safety Last! The roof of the Brockman Building was used for the 1923 Harold Lloyd film, Safety Last!, but the Brockman itself is not seen in the movie, but rather, the ten-floor International Savings & Exchange Bank Building at Spring and Temple. Although the two buildings look nothing alike, this erroneous understanding has appeared in numerous sources, including The Los Angeles Times, Daily Variety, Los Angeles Business Journal, and countless real estate websites. The International Savings Building was used for all of the long shots showing Lloyd’s character scaling its exterior. Medium and close shots were executed using a full-scale replica of two floors of the International Savings Building’s façade, placed on a platform on the rooftop of the L. L. Burns Western Costume Co. building at 908 S. Broadway – making it appear that Lloyd’s character was hanging up to 12 stories over the sidewalk. (A similar method was used for 1921’s Terror Trail, wherein a building façade was reconstructed over the Hill Street Tunnel to give an illusion of grand height on film – while actually being only a story and a half above a solid surface.) The International Savings Building is seen clearly in a large photograph (showing a stuntman climbing it for Safety Last!) on page 140 of the book, Hollywood – The Pioneers by Kevin Brownlow (Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 1979). Adaptive reuse The Brockman Building was converted into an 80-unit condominium project from 2006 to 2008, however the building's owner filed for bankruptcy protection before the project was completed. The building was owned by Bank of America until April 2012, when it was purchased by Simpson Housing LLC of Denver, in what was reported as "the second highest price-per-unit sale in Downtown Los Angeles’ history." There were reportedly 26 offers for the building. Renamed the Brockman Lofts, they are now luxury rental apartments with largely-finished 'loft interiors.' The Bottega Louie restaurant has operated on the building's ground floor since 2009.

Southern California Hospital at Culver City

Southern California Hospital at Culver City is an acute care hospital in Culver City, California. It is located in the downtown area of Culver City, and serves West Los Angeles, providing 24-hour medical services. The hospital is home to the Southern California Hospital Heart Institute. The hospital has expanded from its original eight-bed clinic to 420 beds in three buildings. History Southern California Hospital was founded in 1925 by Dr. Foster Hull. In the 1970s, it became the David Brotman Memorial Hospital. In 1984, Michael Jackson was admitted to the hospital due to a serious burn that occurred during a shoot for a Pepsi TV ad. He gave his insurance payment to the hospital and, later that year, the care unit for burn survivors was named the "Michael Jackson Burn Center". It closed in August 1987 due to financial problems. The hospital re-opened in 2005, having been bought by Prospect Medical Holdings, and was re-named Southern California Hospital. On January 12, 2025, Prospect Medical filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, listing assets of $1 billion and liabilities of $10 billion. The company had struggled with rising debt and interest costs. Notable employees Tom Araya, bassist and vocalist for the American thrash metal band Slayer, worked there as a respiratory therapist in the early 1980s.

Buck Owens Crystal Palace

Buck Owens Crystal Palace was a music hall located in Bakersfield, California. It was constructed by Buck Owens, and was opened in 1996. Primarily it was a performance venue for country music, although other music genres have been heard there. It was also the home of the Buck Owens Museum, which contains items related to his career (some of the items are also available for viewing online). It was also a nightclub, bar, restaurant, and museum. The Crystal Palace is designed in the Western Revival style, a style that resembles buildings from the 19th-century American Old West. The interior resembles an American western town from that same period. The museum is located in display cases around the first floor, which resemble the windows to the building. History The idea for the Buck Owens Crystal Palace originated in the mid-1980s. Buck spent most of his early career performing in small, smoke-filled bars and “honky-tonks” around the country. He wanted a high-class place for country-western music to be performed. Buck also wanted a place where he could be himself. Construction started in the mid-1990s. Buck was closely involved with the project. He approved 135 change orders, several costing over $100,000. He also did not visualize from plans as well as seeing the actual construction. According to Jim Shaw (Buck Owens's right-hand man), on some occasions, he would see something constructed, and have it reconstructed larger and moved to a different location. The cost of the project would eventually reach $7.4 million. Also, the large number of change orders would delay the opening over a year. The Crystal Palace was opened in 1996, and is considered a Bakersfield landmark. While the business continued to operate, the Foundation overseeing it was looking for a new buyer. The Crystal Palace closed in August 2025. See also List of music museums References External links https://www.buckowens.com/
Bucks Lake Wilderness

The Bucks Lake Wilderness is a 23,958-acre (97.0 km2) wilderness area located in the Plumas National Forest section of the Sierra Nevada, in northeastern California, United States. Geography The wilderness lies in Plumas County south of Lake Almanor. It protects the northernmost end of the Sierra Crest, which beyond the canyon of the North Fork Feather River, is no longer distinct. The California Wilderness Act of 1984 set aside the wilderness. The reservoir for which it is named is considered a "boater's Mecca" and is just outside the wilderness boundary. Natural history The topography is classic Sierra Nevada with gentle slopes on the western side, glacial cirques, and areas of bare granitic rock. The highest point is Mount Pleasant (7,054 ft). Of the 13 cirques in the area, the one-mile (1.6 km)-wide Silver Lake is the largest, located below Spanish Peak of the Sierra crest, just outside the wilderness boundary. The North Fork Feather River canyon forms the north boundary and the wilderness includes its 6-mile (9.7 km)-long canyon wall. The wilderness provides habitat for the black bear, coyote, mountain lion, mule deer and black-tailed deer as well as eagle, peregrine falcon, owls and the willow flycatcher. Vegetation includes conifers such as sugar, lodgepole and Jeffrey pine with almost pure stands of red fir on the highest elevations. Streams and wet meadows have alder and aspen trees, corn lilies and montane chaparral. There are three adjacent units of roadless areas, the largest of which has Bucks Mountain, Bald Eagle Mountain and Bucks Creek. Bucks Lake See Bucks Lake for full article. The dam was begun by the Feather River Power Company, which was owned by R.C. Storrie and Robert Muir. The company bought 1,000 acres (4.0 km2), including the Bucks Ranch and began construction in early 1926. Three years and eight million dollars later, the company had financial problems and ended up selling the project to Great Western Power Company who completed the project in 1928. The 105,600 acre-feet (130,300,000 m3)-capacity reservoir is created by the 122 ft (37 m) high rock-fill dam on Bucks Creek, covers 1,852 acres (7.49 km2) and is operated by the Pacific Gas and Electric Company.

Buena Vista Lagoon

Buena Vista Lagoon is a freshwater lagoon adjacent to the Pacific Ocean in the South Coast region of Southern California within the North County region of San Diego County. The lagoon covers 223 acres of wetland habitat and serves as a geographic border between Carlsbad and Oceanside. Buena Vista Lagoon is managed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. It is home to the Buena Vista Audubon Society Nature Center, and is California's first Ecological Reserve. Two non-profit organizations are committed to the preservation and management of the lagoon: the Buena Vista Audubon Society and the Buena Vista Lagoon Foundation Flora and fauna The lagoon harbors at least 103 bird species, 18 mammals, and 14 amphibians and reptiles. Buena Vista also serves as a valuable wetland habitat for migrating bird species during the fall months. In the 1970s, the lagoon was home to a group of pink flamingos that locals believed escaped from the San Diego Zoo, but the zoo steadfastly denied that they were missing any flamingos. A weir exists about 100 yards from the ocean. Depending on the season and rainfall, there may be outflow into the Pacific Ocean. There has been discussion on whether to maintain Buena Vista Lagoon as freshwater or to open it to the ocean, allowing saltwater mixing much as with the nearby Agua Hedionda Lagoon. As of early 2018, no definitive plans have been set to change the lagoon, however. References
