Talk:Chualar, California

message: The etymology "place of *chual*" given in the article is undoubtedly the most common and well-attested one. I was just reading John Steinbeck's East of Eden, though, and in Chapter 2 he writes:
: When the Spaniards came they had to give everything they saw a name. [...] We have San Miguel, St. Michael, San Ardo, San Bernardo, San Benito, San Lorenzo, San Carlos, San Francisquito. And then the holidays—Natividad, the Nativity; Nacimiente [sic], the Birth; Soledad, the Solitude. But places were also named from the way the expedition felt at the time: Buena Esperanza, good hope; Buena Vista because the view was beautiful; and Chualar because it was pretty. The descriptive names followed: Paso de los Robles because of the oak trees; Los Laureles for the laurels; Tularcitos because of the reeds in the swamp; and Salinas for the alkali which was white as salt.
All of the names in Steinbeck's list make a certain amount of sense to me, except for Chualar. Does anyone know what Steinbeck might have been thinking? My only guess is that this might have been some kind of inside joke on Steinbeck's part, or a subtle way of indicating the narrator's ignorance/bluster (see also the misspelling of "Nacimiento" and maybe the confident identification of "the Solitude" as a holiday when the Soledad mission was founded in October); but I still wonder if I'm missing some folk-etymological connection between some word that sounds like "chualar" and some Spanish word for "pretty". Any thoughts? --Quuxplusone (talk) 18:11, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know about the etymology, but I do think that this passage from a famous novel is worth citing in the article. Coretheapple (talk) 20:05, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Diego Rivera 

message: "Closed 1957; transformed into rock and roll club in 1965..." implies the venue was closed at least 1958 to 1964. However, this is not the case. I am fan of a recording made 2 Sept 1960 there :

Apparently there was a star-studded event for New Year's Eve 1959: https://www.alamy.com/frank-sinatra-gary-cooper-attend-share-party-at-ciros-nightclub1960-file-reference-34145-465tha-image441821279.html
From the book "Queen: The Life and Music of Dinah Washington" (Nadine Cohodas, 2007)
page 509: "California Eagle and Los Angeles Sentinel entertainment pages for December 1960 for ads and short articles about Dinah at Ciro's. Los Angeles Times, November 7, 1959, for purchase of Ciro's by Frank Sennes."
This is one of the 1960 references to Ciro's events from searching Google Books: https://www.google.com/search?q=%221960%22+%22Ciro%27s%22&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS822US823&tbm=bks&sxsrf=ALiCzsYrcVytIEqbURcLGxaKxq9y1iCsKA:1653480977143&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiJgKTS0Pr3AhVFGDQIHcrRAFAQ_AUoAXoECAEQCw&biw=1253&bih=725&dpr=1.1
Does anyone have a copy of "Ciro's: Nightclub of the Stars" (Andra D. Clarke, ‎Regina Denton-Drew · 2015)?
Searching around I don't find more details on those years. Aside from further evidence it was open and using the name Ciro's, I see some of the exact text here that I think one erroneous fact has proliferated. If anyone can shed light on those years including management and specific months it was shuttered, I am curious to know. Tearaway (talk) 12:22, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

message: The Exposition Auditorium (now the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium) is not the only remaining building from the Pan-Pac Exhibition. Bernard Maybeck's Palace of Fine Arts was also built for the exhibition and it is definitely still standing. Unfortunately, I've found that it's not unusual for there to be wrong information on the NPS website. Suggested rewording of the sentence in the intro paragraph: "The Exposition Auditorium (now called the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium) is one of two remaining buildings from the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition (Bernard Maybeck's Palace of Fine Arts is the other." The problem is that I'm not absolutely sure that they're the only two. --Sanfranman59 (talk) 00:57, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
