Evans Grove Complex

The Evans Grove Complex is a complex of seven giant sequoia groves located in the Kings River watershed on the southern slopes of Kings Canyon in Giant Sequoia National Monument (Sequoia National Forest). It is formed from the Evans, Lockwood, Little Boulder, Boulder, Kennedy, Windy Gulch, and Horseshoe Bend groves. The complex is home to a rich collection of old-growth giant sequoias covering a combined 2,270 acres (9.2 km2). History Evans Grove Complex derives its name from Evans Grove, the largest constituent grove, which itself is named after John Evans, who lived nearby and protected the trees from fire. The complex and its surroundings were heavily impacted by the Rough Fire in 2015 and have since been closed by the Sequoia National Forest However it is open as of 2024 Noteworthy trees Some trees of special note found within the complex include: Ishi Giant—an old, fire-scarred giant sequoia with few visitors and was the 14th tallest giant sequoia in the world. In 2015, the tree lost significant trunk volume, over 27 ft (8.2 m) in height, and over half of its crown during the Rough Fire. A new volume and height estimate is needed to determine its size. Evans Tree—a giant sequoia that was measured in 1981, and had a volume of 30,232 cubic feet (856.1 m3). See also List of giant sequoia groves List of largest giant sequoias References

Excelsior High School (Norwalk, California)

Excelsior High School, originally named Excelsior Union High School, was founded in 1903 and located on Walnut Street in Norwalk, California. The current campus was built in 1924. The campus sustained substantial damage to the administration building, auditorium, and other buildings in the 1933 Long Beach earthquake (as did the Norwalk Grammar School which occupied the former Excelsior Union High school building). Although the earthquake occurred after school hours, one student died when an internal wall in a portion of the boy's gym failed. Its last graduating class was 1981. The Excelsior Union High School District was composed of a single school which supported a district including present day Norwalk, Cerritos, Artesia, and Bellflower. In 1919, Excelsior Union High School had seven teachers, and an enrollment of ninety-eight. After World War II, the area rapidly changed from agricultural to residential and several new high schools were added to the district to absorb the large increase in population, including Bellflower, Artesia, Norwalk, La Mirada, and Gahr High Schools. In the 1950s, Bellflower High School was realigned under the Bellflower Unified School District. In the mid-1960s the changing needs of the area were the subject of a referendum to restructure the governance of area schools and realign the high schools under three school districts. The referendum passed and with the revised district boundaries, Excelsior Union High School's name was changed to Excelsior High School and it was made part of the Norwalk–La Mirada Unified School District. For much of its history, the student body was known as "The Pilots" and the school mascot was Peter Pilot. In the late 1960s the cartoon character Snoopy was adopted as the mascot. The school colors were green and white. The school and campus still exist at the corner of Alondra and Pioneer Boulevards in Norwalk. It is now the home to the Norwalk–La Mirada Adult School. Since its closure, the campus has been the location for the filming of Grease 2 and High School U.S.A. and the 1982 TV series Square Pegs. Excelsior Adult School was also the home field for Excelsior's former archrival, the Norwalk Lancers Football team. Norwalk High has since built their own home field for the first time in 2021. During the late 80s till 1992, the football field and baseball facilities were also home of the Leffingwell Christian High School Lions and the Pioneer Baptist High School Patriots. Notable alumni Pat Nixon (class of 1929) – First Lady of the United States William Conrad (class of 1937) – actor, producer, and director for radio, film and television James Gattuso (class of 1975) – political pundit and senior research fellow for the Roe Institute for Economic Policy Studies at The Heritage Foundation See also List of closed secondary schools in California External links Excelsior High School Alumni Excelsior Union High School group on Facebook References
Tower 180

Tower 180, formerly the Executive Complex, is a 25-story building located at 180 Broadway in San Diego, California, United States. Upon completion in 1963, the 106.68 m (350.0 ft) building was the tallest in the city until 1969. History The building at 180 Broadway in Downtown San Diego was completed in 1963 as the United States National Bank Building, serving as a major financial office tower in the city’s central business district. An additional eight-story annex was constructed in 1973, expanding the complex and increasing office capacity. The tower remained in continuous use as office space for several decades. In 2014, the building underwent a significant renovation that updated the lobby, elevators, and façade, aiming to modernize the aging structure and retain tenants in a competitive downtown market. By the early 2020s, however, the office market in downtown San Diego faced high vacancy rates, and Tower 180 gradually lost tenants. In 2023, it was purchased by developer J Street Space, which announced plans to convert the 25-story tower into a dual-branded Hyatt hotel combining Hyatt Place and Hyatt House brands. The adaptive-reuse project includes several hundred guest rooms, meeting space, and ground-floor retail, representing a significant shift from office to hospitality use in downtown San Diego. The project is currently under review and construction is expected to begin early 2026. References External links Executive Complex

Fairbanks Ranch Country Club

Fairbanks Ranch Country Club is a neighborhood and private golf club in northern San Diego, California. The area is bordered by the unincorporated San Diego County communities of Rancho Santa Fe to the north and Fairbanks Ranch to the east, the city of San Diego neighborhood of Pacific Highlands Ranch to the south, and undeveloped natural areas of North City, San Diego, to the west. Due to its geography and history, residents and establishments in the area align closely with the adjacent communities of Fairbanks Ranch (hence the name), Rancho Santa Fe, and Del Mar. Rancho Santa Fe and Del Mar addresses are used in some parts of the area while being within San Diego city limits. Neighborhood The neighborhood consists of several gated housing communities located south of the golf club and San Dieguito Road and one additional gated community as well as the Del Mar Polo Fields located north of the San Dieguito River. The portion of the community located north of the San Dieguito River typically utilizes Del Mar addresses despite being within the city limits of San Diego. Golf club Founded in 1984, the golf club sits on 274 acres (111 ha) of land owned by the City of San Diego. The club uses a Rancho Santa Fe address despite being within San Diego city limits. It was originally member-owned. In July 2016 the members sold it to the Bay Club Company of San Francisco for an undisclosed sum. The club features an 18-hole championship course designed by Ted Robinson. In 2004 a 9-hole course designed by Ted Robinson Jr. was added. The club hosted the equestrian endurance portion of the eventing competitions for the 1984 Summer Olympics held in neighboring Los Angeles.

Fairmount Park (Riverside, California)

Fairmount Park is a park in Riverside, California, designated by the Riverside Cultural Heritage Board as Landmark No. 69. The park's band shell, designed in 1920 by Mission-style architect Arthur Burnett Benton, is separately designated as Landmark No. 10. The park is located at 2601 Fairmount Boulevard, and lies SouthEast of the Santa Ana River with Route 60 to the North. The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment has issued a safe eating advisory for any fish caught in Lake Evans, in the Western portion of the park, due to elevated levels of mercury and PCBs. In addition, there is a notice of "DO NOT EAT" for Catfish. History The firm Olmsted and Olmsted was commissioned in 1911 to design Fairmount Park. Although Frederick Law Olmsted, who designed New York City's Central Park, had died in 1903, his design principles were evident in his sons' planning of Fairmount Park. The primary design aspects of the park were implemented over the following 13 years, ending in 1924 with Lake Evans. In 1985, a tree inventory showed that many of the trees in the reforesting effort from 1911 were still living. Rehabilitation and revitalization Rehabilitation of the park was prompted by flooding and deterioration of Lake Evans and the increase in crime in and nearby the park. The revitalization was championed by local residents such as Pat Stewart, current chair of Friends of Fairmount Park. The rehabilitation efforts began in 2001 with volunteers willing to pick up waste or provide other general maintenance needs for the park. Community effort catalyzed funding for a $2.6 million playground. In 2011, the American Planning Association (APA) designated Fairmount Park as a "Great Public Space", one of ten so designated. Also in 2011, the City Parks Alliance (Washington, D.C.) designated the park as a "Frontline Park", calling it a "jewel . . . in the region's park system". Amenities Fairmount Park offers a golf course, two tennis courts, public barbecues,kayaking, boat rentals (including pedal boats that are handicap accessible), sailing and fishing on Lake Evans, running, jogging and walking on the Santa Ana River Trail, a number of exercise classes held in the park, and the playground. It also has a well maintained lawn bowling court which first opened in the 1920s, and a Rose Garden with a gazebo which is a popular location for photographs of significant community events. Memorial installations Union Pacific Engine No. 6051 was placed at the park's formal entrance on Market Street in 1954, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the arrival of the railroad in Riverside. In 1949, the American Legion installed a Water Buffalo amphibious tank on a ramp going down into Lake Evans, to commemorate Riverside's role in the manufacture of the vehicle during World War II.

Fallbrook Center

Fallbrook Center, originally Fallbrook Square, is a shopping center located on Fallbrook Avenue between Victory Boulevard and Vanowen Street in West Hills, Los Angeles, California. Fallbrook Center is a 75-acre (300,000 m2), 880,000-square-foot (82,000 m2), open-air shopping center with retailers including Walmart, Trader Joe's, Home Depot, Target, Ulta Beauty, Bob's Discount Furniture, Furniture City, Crumbl Cookies, Panda Express, Sprouts Farmers Market, Ross Dress for Less, 24 Hour Fitness, It's Boba Time, Michaels, Chili's, and Petco.

Housing eighty stores and services in an open-air format, it was anchored by large Sears and JCPenney locations and included F.W. Woolworth, Harris & Frank, Ontra Cafeteria, House of Sight and Sound, Karl's Toys, Nibblers Restaurant, and a Market Basket supermarket. An enclosing renovation was done between April 1984 and July 1986. Target and Mervyn's anchors were added and the complex was renamed Fallbrook Mall. Damaged by the 1994 Northridge earthquake, and in decline by the late 1990s, the shopping venue was redeveloped between August 2001 and November 2003, emerging as the 1.2-million-square-foot (110,000 m2) Fallbrook Center of today. The existing Penney's structure, vacated in April 2001, was retenanted by Kohl's. The Sears, which had re-opened at the nearby Westfield Topanga in 1996, was divided between Big Kmart (upper level) and Burlington Coat Factory (lower level); these opened in 1997. The Big Kmart closed in 2002 and reopened as a Walmart in January 2004. Mervyn's closed in 2008. Sprouts Farmers Market and Ulta Beauty replaced the former Mervyn's in the form of a shared space in 2013. However, Ulta Beauty closed its Fallbrook Center location and moved to a new space in Canoga Park in 2021. Kohl's closed in June 2016 as a part of closing 18 stores nationwide. The Fallbrook Square sign and marquee can be seen in the 1974 drag racing documentary "Funny Car Summer" when a bicycle drag race event was held there. Fallbrook Center was used as the exterior location of the "Burbank Buymore" on Warner Brothers and NBC's Chuck.
