Baker's Drive-Thru

Baker's Burgers, Inc., doing business as Baker's Drive-Thru, is a chain of fast-food restaurants in the Inland Empire region of Southern California. The menu combines both American fast food and Mexican specialties. It features hamburgers, french fries, tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and milkshakes. A breakfast menu and vegetarian menu are also available at most locations. All Baker's locations are in San Bernardino County and Riverside County, California. Three stores are located in the Victorville - Hesperia area of Northern San Bernardino County. The corporate offices are on Riverwalk Parkway in Riverside. History Neal and Carol Baker Inspired by the success of McDonald's, Neal Baker founded his first restaurant in San Bernardino in 1952 (1952). He called it "Baker's Burgers." (San Bernardino was also the location of the first McDonald's.) Three years later, Baker added Mexican food to the menu. Burgers were sold at one window and Mexican food at another. He called this the "Twin Kitchen" concept. A second store was opened in Rialto the following year. As of 2023, there are 39 Baker's Drive-Thru locations. Upon the death of Neal Baker, his widow Carol took over control of the privately held company. She died in 2017, leaving the second generation of Bakers in charge. Legal problems After struggling for over 30 years to make Baker’s a success, Baker hired Joe Amlani in 1986 to conduct a complete overhaul on the concept and establish their operations as they exist today. Shortly after Carol Baker’s passing in 2017, Amlani was let go while under contract. Amlani pursued legal action in San Bernardino County Superior Court. After the Baker children took over, they appointed Jason Talley as their new CEO, nephew of Neil and Carol Baker's son-in-law Terry Talley. Jason tried adamantly to not pay what Amlani said he was owed on his contract and tried to invoke ERISA preemption in Federal Court. That motion was brought to Central District in California in early 2018. The Baker Family's motion was denied and the case was sent back to Superior Court of San Bernardino. After months of delays, the courts finally settled the case and sided with Amlani. New menu items In 1995, Baker's began adding a vegetarian menu to locations, originally called the Loma Linda Kitchen menu due to the prevalence of vegetarians in Loma Linda. Seventh-day Adventists, who are traditionally vegetarian, comprise about half the population of Loma Linda. The first two locations that featured this menu were in Loma Linda and Yucaipa. The vegetarian menu has since been added to most locations. Charities Baker's Drive-Thru restaurants are involved in the Inland Empire through charities and civic works. According to its website, the company has contributed more than $3 million to Easter Seals of Southern California. Baker's also supports the Children's Fund, high school sports and university programs. In May 2013, the Baker Family Learning Center was opened in Muscoy, on land that Neal Baker donated. It houses a public library and pre-school. See also List of hamburger restaurants References External links Official website

Bakersfield National Cemetery

Bakersfield National Cemetery is a United States National Cemetery located at 30338 East Bear Mountain Blvd, Arvin, California, in Kern County. It is approximately 20 miles (32 km) east of Bakersfield. It is isolated from urban development by oak studded rolling hills in the Tehachapi Mountains. Administered by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, the cemetery has space to accommodate caskets and cremated remains on 500 acres (200 ha) of land. History The history of the location of the cemetery dates back to the 1840s, when California was a part of Mexico. The land was granted by Mexican Governor Manuel Micheltorena to Jose Antonio Aguirre and Ignacio del Valle. They were the first recorded owners of the property. The land was primarily used for cattle ranching. During the 1850s and 1860s, General Edward Fitzgerald Beale purchased the land, and combined it with other property to form a large ranch. It was named Ranchos el Tejon, or The Tejon Ranch. In 1915, Bear Mountain Boulevard (SR 223) was constructed, replacing the dangerous White Wolf Road to the south. An important route, it linked the southern San Joaquin Valley, to Tehachapi and industries in the Mojave Desert. It was also a part of the Midway Route, which was one of two routes connecting Bakersfield with Los Angeles. It continued to serve that function until 1933, when Bena Road to the north was constructed, which provided a more direct connection to Bakersfield. In 2003, congress adopted the National Cemetery Expansion Act. This authorized the creation of six new national cemeteries, including the Bakersfield National Cemetery. The Tejon Ranch Company offered land at multiple sites for the cemetery. Eventually, 500 acres of land adjacent to Bear Mountain Boulevard was selected. In 2007, architectural design contract was awarded to Huitt-Zollars, Inc, in Irvine, California. The cemetery opened in the summer of 2009, with a 20-acre (8.1 ha) early burial site and temporary facilities. Construction of the permanent facilities were completed two years later.

Bakersfield Museum of Art

The Bakersfield Museum of Art is an art museum, in Bakersfield, California. It is located in Central Park, on the corner of 19th St. and R St. It has four galleries, which contains a permanent collection mainly from regional artists, as well as room for traveling art exhibits. In 2019, it was accredited by the American Alliance of Museums. History The museum was founded in 1956 by the Walter Osborn family. The museum was originally named the Cunningham Art Gallery, in memory of their daughter, Marion Osborn Cunningham (1911–1948). Their donation, combined with others, allowed the museum to be constructed in Central Park on the southeast side of downtown. When the museum was completed, it was turned over to the city for maintenance. It was operated by volunteers of the Bakersfield Art Association, and the city appointed Art Commission. Primarily the museum would showcase the work of local artists and occasionally a traveling art show. It would also be surrounded by gardens, which would showcase sculptures and other art forms. In 1990, the museum was transferred from the city to the Bakersfield Art Foundation, an independent governing agency. At that time, the name was changed to the Bakersfield Museum of Art. Since then, the museum has seen many changes. In 1991, one year after the transfer, the museum was accredited by the American Alliance of Museums. In 1997, with major endowments from Patricia Crail Brown Foundation and the late Dr. George and Millie Ablin, the museum started a campaign to expand. In June of the same year, the foundation purchased the land the museum occupied from the city. Work then started on expanding the facility. By 2001, construction on the 17,400 square feet (1,620 m2) structure was completed. Description The Bakersfield Museum of Art is 17,400 square feet (1,620 m2). It contains two large galleries and two smaller galleries. It also has two classrooms and a banquet hall. Outside, the museum has several gardens which display various sculptures and other art forms. The museum’s permanent collection is primarily from regional artists. The museum's mission is to: "[provide] a broad spectrum of visual arts experiences through the exhibition and preservation of fine art, educational programs, community outreach, and special events."

It is located east of Big Bear Lake reservoir and Big Bear City. Geography The lake is at a surface elevation of 6,752 feet (2,058 m). Its deepest point it can be approximately 25 feet (7.6 m). At its widest, the lake is more than 1 mile (1.6 km) across. It is in the headwaters watershed of the Santa Ana River. The terrain surrounding the lakebed supports montane chaparral and pinyon–juniper woodland habitats. Baldwin Lake Ecological Reserve Baldwin Lake is within the 156-acre Baldwin Lake Ecological Reserve. It is at the intersection of California State Route 18 and Holcomb Valley Road on the north side of the lake. Hwy 18 wraps around the northeastern and northern shores of Baldwin Lake. The Baldwin Lake linanthus (Linanthus killipii) is a rare plant at lake's pebble plain and adjacent meadows, that is endemic to the locale and an endangered species. History The Eye of God, a historic quartz dome, is located in the Baldwin Lake area. Benjamin Davis Wilson encountered the lake in 1845, while tracking horse thieves in the San Bernardino Mountains. When Wilson saw that the region was populated by many grizzly bears, he divided his 22 men into hunting partners. The men slaughtered 11 bears for the fur pelts. While returning to Jurupa (Riverside), they slaughtered another 11 bears for the fur. Wilson named the region Big Bear Valley, and the lake he called Lake Big Bear. In 1884, the Bear Valley Land and Water Company began construction of a dam southwest of the lake. The company's stakeholders named the new reservoir Big Bear Lake. They also renamed the alkali lake to Baldwin Lake, after Elias Jackson "Lucky" Baldwin, who came to Big Bear and Holcomb Valley in 1876 when he purchased Gold Mountain Mine, later renamed Baldwin Mine. Baldwin Lake Community Improvement Association In January 2011, the Baldwin Lake Community Improvement Association was formed which is a non-profit volunteer organization of residents, business and property owners in the lake's adjacent community, who share a common appreciation for the beauty and diversity of Baldwin Lake. The Baldwin Lake CIA is within the Big Bear City CDP for demographic statistics. The mission is to improve, beautify and preserve the quality of life in Baldwin Lake through the development of outdoor environmental education programs, community gardens, and a small business incubator to create a sustainable future for the residents of Baldwin Lake.

Bancroft Library

De Bancroft Library is de hoofdbibliotheek voor bijzondere collecties van de Universiteit van Californië - Berkeley. Het gebouw bevindt zich centraal op de campus, schuin tegenover Sather Tower. Geschiedenis van de collecties De basis werd gelegd toen de universiteit de boekenverzameling van historicus Hubert Howe Bancroft (1832-1918), met 50.000 werken over de geschiedenis van Californië en het westen van Noord-Amerika, verkreeg. In 1905, toen de collectie aangekocht werd, was dat de grootste verzameling in z'n soort en dat is het nog steeds. Tot de jaren 60 bleef men de collectie uitbreiden met werken over het Amerikaanse Westen, maar vanaf de jaren 70 begon het blikveld te verbreden. Zo werd de afdeling zeldzame boeken en bijzondere collecties in 1970 aan de Bancroft Library toegevoegd; daartoe behoorden onder andere de archieven van Mark Twain, een archief van oude Egyptische papyrus-documenten, alsook middeleeuwse handschriften, incunabelen en zeldzame gedrukte boeken en de manuscripten van literaire werken van Californische schrijvers. In 2009 bewaarde de Bancroft-bibliotheek naar schatting 600.000 boeken, 16,8 kilometer aan archiefdocumenten en manuscripten, bijna 8 miljoen foto's en negatieven en meer dan 20.000 historische kaarten.

Banks Pumping Plant

The Harvey O. Banks Pumping Plant is located 2.5 miles (4.0 km) southwest of the Clifton Court Forebay and 12 miles (19 km) northwest of Tracy, CA. The plant is the first pumping plant for the California Aqueduct and the South Bay Aqueduct. It provides the necessary fluid head (potential energy) for the California Aqueduct to flow for approximately 80 miles (130 km) south past the O'Neill Forebay and the San Luis Reservoir to the Dos Amigos Pumping Plant. The Banks Pumping Plant initially flows into the Bethany Reservoir. It is from the Bethany Reservoir that the South Bay Aqueduct begins. The John E. Skinner Delta Fish Protective Facility is located 2 miles upstream from the facility and prevents fishes from reaching the pumping plant. Limits on water pumping from the Sacramento Delta is a politically contentious issue. In dry years, water pumped from the Delta creates a hazard to spring-run salmon. As the Banks Pumping Plant pulls water from the Sacramento River southward across the Delta, it disrupts the normal flow direction of east to west that salmon smolt follow to the Pacific Ocean. Populations of salmon and steelhead trout have reached critically low levels in the decades after SWP water withdrawals began. The fish migration issue has become hotly contested in recent years, with rising support for the construction of the Peripheral Canal, which would divert water around the Delta, restoring the natural flow direction. Characteristics Number of units: 11 Normal static head: 236 to 252 ft (72 to 77 m) Total flow at design head: 10,920 ft³/s (302 m³/s) (21,659 acre-feet/day) Total motor rating: 333,000 hp (248 MW) References External links Banks plant sensor data
Banner Island Ballpark

Banner Island Ballpark is a ballpark located in Stockton, California, on the Stockton waterfront, which seats 5,200 people with 4,200 fixed seats. It is the home field of the Stockton Ports, a minor league affiliate of the Athletics in the California League, who moved there after spending several decades at their previous home Billy Hebert Field. History The $22 million Banner Island Ballpark opened with a baseball game on April 28, 2005, during which the Stockton Ports defeated the San Jose Giants, 7–4, in front of a sellout crowd of 5,287 fans. The ballpark is a part of a revitalization project for the Downtown Stockton waterfront. It was built concurrently with the Stockton Arena and will be integrated with a waterfront park as part of the Stockton Waterfront Events Center. The Banner Island area is also the purported home of a previous Stockton baseball team that played in the late 1800s. Local residents claim that the team was the inspiration for the Mudville Nine in "Casey at the Bat", a poem by Ernest Thayer. Before moving to the ballpark, the Stockton Ports were known as the Mudville Nine during the 2000 and 2001 seasons. Name The name "Banner Island Ballpark" is actually an unofficial name that is used among fans and the administration of the Stockton Ports. The City of Stockton owns the naming rights of the ballpark and until the rights are sold the stadium is officially known as Stockton Ballpark. The ballpark gets its unofficial name from the area in which it is located, Banner Island. This was once an island in the San Joaquin River delta, noted during the Civil War for the huge "Stars and Stripes" posted by a Union supporter. In time the island was connected to the mainland through land fill and only the southern shore remains. Despite the fact the area is no longer an island, the Banner Island name has stuck.
