he Lovin’ Spoonful’s hit “Summer in the City” topped the
music charts 50 years ago. One year before that, in August
1965, the Beatles released their fifth studio Album “Help”. Its
title song then soared to No. 1 by summer’s end.
Every Friday, from 3 - 10 p.m., classic-car buffs rev their engines and roll into the Bob’s Big Boy lot
in Burbank for an evening of camaraderie and nostalgia.
hortly after the album’s release,
the band members toured America, stopping in for a gig at the
Hollywood Bowl. During that visit,
their search for the ultimate American
dining experience led John Lennon,
Paul McCartney, George Harrison
and Ringo Starr to Bob’s Big Boy coffee shop on West Riverside Drive.
After slipping into a booth with a
panoramic view of the San Fernando Valley, the “Fab Four” ate lunch,
sampling the American burgers and
hospitality.
A plaque at the restaurant now
attests to the event, paying tribute
to that historic afternoon. Restaurant
guests can still share in the music
legends’ arrival by ordering up their
own spread at the designated “Beatles Booth.”
Over the years, the restaurant
has undergone upgrades and restorations, but its original seating plan
and unique design still remain intact.
First built in 1949, through the shared
vision of local residents Scott MacDonald and Ward Albert, with the
artistry of futurist architect Wayne
McAllister, the restaurant settled into
the community. At the same time, a
new era of the automobile was just
revving up.
From the late 1940s through the
early 1960s, the passenger car sped
onto L.A.’s social, cultural and economic scene. As a symbol of status,
especially for a new generation of
teenagers, the car represented both
freedom and clout. The drive-in
movie and drive-in restaurant were
quickly becoming the new hang outs
for couples and friends, as well as
families. Among the many regulars
coming to the Burbank eatery, students from nearby North Hollywood
High School kept the carhops busily
setting trays of ordered burgers, fries
and milkshakes on the frames of open
car windows. The teens arrived in
droves.
Those teenagers grew up and,
despite the restaurant’s brand recognition, by the 1990s, its owner drew
up plans to replace the iconic diner
with a commercial business venture.
The restaurant chain itself had been
born out of Bob’s Pantry in Glendale,
which Bob Wian had founded in 1936.
Over the years, its name evolved to
Bob’s Big Boy, referring to the double-decker cheeseburger sandwich it
created and served.
With the looming demolition
of another Bob’s Big Boy restaurant
in Van Nuys, pressure from historical preservationists and community
members against razing the Burbank
location persisted. Soon, the owner, a
member of the founding MacDonald
family, had a change of heart. Instead
of tearing the restaurant down, he refurbished the structure and reconfigured the parking lot. He even revived
the carhop service. In fact, in 1993, the
state of California named the restaurant a “Point of Historical Interest.”
Those looking to relive the heyday of yesteryear can order their meal
from a modern-day carhop, while
Many residents have fond memories of family
outings, Friday dates, and Wednesday cruising with friends at the former Bob’s Big Boy
locations in Pasadena and Van Nuys.
dining in the comfort of their own car.
Although the restaurant dishes up
breakfast, lunch, dinner (including
old standards as well as vegetarian
fare) and dessert 24 hours a day, the
carhop service is available on Saturday and Sunday, from five o’clock in
the evening until 10 at night.
To kick-start the weekend, a classic car show takes place every Friday,
beginning at three in the afternoon.
The Road Kings car club of Burbank,
originally a racing group founded in
1952, brings the weekly event together. Drivers roll into the Bob’s Big Boy
lot from all over town to share an evening of camaraderie.
With car radios blaring, teenagers
heading to the Bob’s Big Boy in the
summer of 1965 listened to hits from
their favorite British and American
groups: the Beatles, Rolling Stones,
Beach Boys, Four Tops, Sonny and
Cher, and others. Now in 2016, summertime has arrived again, filled with
sun, fun and food, as well as family,
friends and new tunes. The time is
right to start creating fresh memories,
while enjoying L.A.’s nostalgic treasures. After all, as the Beatles sang in
the refrain of another hit song from
their “Help” album, “Oh, I believe in
yesterday.”

Civil War
Balloon Barges
B y M i c h a e l P at r i s
ur country’s first recorded
use of a balloon for military
purposes was launched from
land by aeronaut John La Mountain at
Fort Monroe, Virginia in July 1861. But
then in August, he inflated his aerostat
and tied it to the armed Army tugboat
Fanny. Operating under a Navy skipper, he monitored Confederate movements near the waters of Hampton
Roads between Chesapeake Bay and
the James River. With a 2,000-foot rope
reel, La Mountain ascended from the
anchored tug below, making what historians agree was the first launching of
a manned “aircraft” from a vessel.
Irregular balloon operations then
continued, but by October the Fanny
had been captured by the Confederates, sending La Mountain back to
Washington without his “base of operations.” There, he learned that fellow
balloonist Thaddeus S. C. Lowe was
aiming to convince the White House
that his aerial force could be a separate
military branch by itself. Lowe and a
telegrapher had made a tethered ascent
of 500 feet above the nearby Columbia
Armory; a message wired down to
Abraham Lincoln prompted a White
House dinner invitation. Discussions
about real-time intelligence followed,

and Lowe proved adept at navigating Washington politics. Nonetheless,
General Winfield Scott flatly refused to
meet him.
Lowe next turned to Secretary of
the Navy Gideon Welles for a vessel
that could be used as a launching platform; fortunately, the Washington Naval Shipyard had a viable coal barge
that could be had for $150. Christened
the George Washington Parke Custis
(GWPC), it was renovated as a balloon barge. Its 122-foot length could
accommodate the portable hydrogen
gas generators that Lowe had invented, while leaving space for the inflation of certain smaller balloons. The
beam (width) of the GWPC was 14.5
feet; its hold’s depth of 5.5 feet allowed
for 75 tons of cargo, perfect for iron
filings that produced hydrogen gas
when mixed with sulfuric acid. Even
fully loaded, the barge could be poled,
rowed or tugged in about three feet of
water, making it flexible under varying
tidal conditions.
On November 10, 1861, the steamer Coeur de Lion towed the GWPC to the
Potomac River headquarters of General Joseph Hooker, where she plied
the waters between Washington and
Mount Vernon. The Washington, a twoman balloon with a 20,000-cubic-foot
envelope, was inflated and put into
service. Lowe and General Daniel E.
Sickles soon reported on Confederate
positions in the vicinity of Mattawoman Creek. Unaware of La Mountain’s
previous use of the Fanny, Lowe wrote
to his superiors:
Navy Yard, Washington, D.C.
November 12, 1861
“I have the pleasure of reporting
the complete success of the first balloon expedition by water ever attempted. I left the Navy Yard early Sunday
morning, the 10th instant, with a lighter (formerly the GWPC) towed out by
the steamer Coeur de Lion, having on
board competent assistant aeronautics,
together with my new gas generation
apparatus, located at the mouth of the
Mattawoman Creek, about three miles
from the opposite of Virginia shore….
We had a fine view of the enemy’s
camp-fires during the evening and
saw them constructing new batteries
at Freestone Point….”
Professor Lowe would continue
to serve with the civilian title of Chief
Aeronaut of the Union Army and
operate the GWPC on the Potomac,
York, James and Pamunkey Rivers
and Chesapeake Bay during the Peninsula Campaign. Both water and land
reconnaissance by balloon would, for
the first time, direct gunfire on targets
not visible by land, such as during the
blockade of the Potomac at Budd’s Ferry below Mount Vernon.
In March 1862, General George
McClellan had requested naval aerial
reconnaissance for the Peninsula Campaign, dispatching a balloon and the
GWPC to Fort Monroe; they ultimately
returned to the Potomac following McCover envelope addressed to Professor
T.S.C. Lowe after the Civil War at his
temporary address in New York City.

Clellan’s eventual loss.
German-born balloonist John
Steiner operated one of Lowe’s oneman balloons, the Eagle, along parts
of the Mississippi River where the
Confederates held “Island No. 10”
near New Madrid, Missouri. Fearing a
blockade, Commodore Andrew Foote
put Steiner aloft from a flat-bottomed
boat towed by Foote’s flagship, the
Benton. Following high winds, success
finally involved directing mortar-fire
through a signal flag system conceived
by Lowe. Steiner threw in the towel,
ending the use of the Balloon Corps in
the Western Theatre.
In early 1862, Lowe associate John
Starkweather made ascents from the
naval vessel May Flower, a steamer reconfigured into a tug and gun boat.
Larger than the GWPC, it cruised off
Port Royal, South Carolina and near
Savannah, Georgia. Operational failure occurred when the envelope became ensnared with the ship during
high winds, grounding
the vessel and disabling
the aerostat. With repair
impossible, the equipment headed back north.
Soon the Confederacy assembled its own balloon, the Gazelle. Due to
supply shortages, Army
Captain Langdon Cheves
enabled the aerostat with
Georgia dressmaking silk.
Contrary to myth, the Gazelle was not derived from
the Sunday finery of the ladies of the
Confederacy. The completed balloon
was given to General Edward Porter
Alexander in June 1862 and inflated
at the Richmond, Virginia Gas Works.
Captain John Randolph Bryan then
successfully observed Union movements at Gaines Mill. Transported to
the armed tugboat Teaser, the Gazelle
was to be deployed on the James River. But the USS Maratanza captured the
vessel and balloon, ending the Confederate Balloon Corps. The Gazelle was
turned over to Thaddeus Lowe, who
cut it up for souvenirs, many of which
still exist today.
Owing to the effects of malaria
and lack of payment, Lowe retired
from the Balloon Corps after the Battle
of Chancellorsville in May 1863. His
equipment was sent into storage at the
Columbia Armory. Balloon Corps advocate General Cyrus B. Comstock was
reassigned, leaving Chief Telegraphic
Signal Officer Colonel Albert Meyer
in charge. Meyer believed that the endeavor was simply too expensive to
operate.
The equipment was eventually
auctioned off by Chief Quartermaster
Brigadier General D. H. Rucker. Pioneering aeronaut Thaddeus S. C. Lowe
purchased his balloon Washington
and kept it for years, flying it periodically on special occasions. Lowe subsequently moved to Pasadena, built a
home on Orange Grove Boulevard and
opened the Mount Lowe Railway on
July 4, 1893.

orty-five years of ardent living
exploded into lawlessness, legitimacy and legend, often at the
same time. Such was the life of Francisco “Pancho” Villa. From humble
roots, he rose to become a hailed military leader and national hero of the
Mexican Revolution.
Born in 1878 and baptized Doroteo Arango, Villa started life on one
of the largest haciendas in the state of
Durango, Mexico. His parents worked
as sharecroppers, and his father, Augustin Arango, died when Doroteo
was young, leaving his mother to raise
him and his four siblings. As a boy,
Doroteo helped support his family,
receiving small, sporadic doses of education along the way. While accounts
differ as to the initial reason for his
leaving home – a memoir he dictated
recounts the tale of him murdering a
hacienda owner to protect his sister –
as a teenager, Doroteo escaped to hide
from the authorities.
Developing an innate resourcefulness and stealing what he needed to
survive, an ensuing chase eventually
led to his draft into the army of President Diaz. Rather than serve as a slave
in this repressive government’s quest
to crush guerilla forces, Villa deserted.
Changing his identity to Francisco (nicknamed Pancho) Villa, he fled
north to settle in the Mexican state of
Chihuahua. With its borders bumping
up against Texas and New Mexico,
Chihuahua attracted American businesses, such as railroads and mines.
Villa soon earned wages from them,
supervising workers and transporting
goods over treacherous terrain. At the
same time, Pancho Villa moonlighted
as a cattle rustler.
By 1910, Villa joined the efforts of
Francisco Madero, a fair-minded haci-

enda owner and advocate of open elections and universal education, to oust
dictatorial President Porfirio Díaz. In
addition to Villa’s involvement, two
other key figures of the revolution
emerged. Emiliano Zapata controlled
the land south of Mexico City, and
American-born Pascual Orozco successfully led the rebels alongside Villa
in the north.
It was Villa who secured the first
victory for the rebels. With the revolutionary movement in full swing,
Francisco Madero won the presidential election of 1911. In the wake of
his success, Pancho Villa married his
sweetheart Luz Corral and attempted
to settle into domestic life. Her support and influence would lead, in the
future, to his sparing the life of Alvaro
Obregón, a man who would become
president in 1920.
By 1913, however, General Victoriano Heurta and his supporters
gained power. First, they overthrew
the intellectual and idealistic Madero,
and then they murdered him and his
former vice president. As a result, Pancho Villa reassembled his army and reengaged in the revolution.
Villa used negotiation, extortion
and charisma, as well as brute force
to secure what he needed. He looted
sprawling haciendas and punished
their exploitive owners. By applying
these Robin Hood-like tactics, Pancho
Villa drew admiration from the north’s
rural population.
The mention of his name soon
brought massive support. The Di-
visión de Norte grew to one of the
largest revolutionary armies ever assembled in Latin America. Men, as
well as their wives, enlisted to fight.
Villa’s unique unit also included members from all levels of society.
During the summer of 1914, at
the height of his power, Pancho Villa
waged his most triumphant battle: the
taking of Zacatecas. This victory sent
Heurta into exile. Yet, despite Villa’s
success, volatile alliances began taking
their toll.
Both newly-crafted U.S. policy
and former ally Venustiano Carranza
had turned against Villa, weakening
his advances. The once mutually-beneficial working relationship that Villa
and his rebels had forged with the
United States had dissolved into bitter
betrayal on both sides.
By March 9, 1916, the small U.S.
town of Columbus, New Mexico fell
victim to Villa’s attack. In response, the
U. S. dispatched General John Pershing into Mexico. On this “punitive expedition,” Pershing set out to capture
General Pancho Villa and bring him to
justice. Throughout Pershing’s elev-

en-month venture, Villa had eluded
him. Pershing returned home empty-handed.
Although escaping U.S. capture,
General Villa faced national defeat as
his rivals took power. In 1920, however, Mexico’s interim president negotiated peace with the exiled general. This government pardon let
Villa retire to a hacienda near the city
of Hidalgo del Parral. His retirement
proved short-lived. By July 1923, as
Pancho Villa drove his Dodge through
that city, assassins gunned him down.
Five decades after his death, the
Mexican government finally agreed to
move Villa’s body from Parral to Mexico City, re-burying him at the Monument of the Revolution. Because of
this posthumous recognition, General
Francisco “Pancho” Villa’s remains
came to rest alongside former President Madero, whose vision for the
country Villa had revered and fought
hard to support, and former President
Carranza, whose corruption and dis-
loyalty Villa had abhorred.
While many cheered the move,
Villa’s first wife Luz Corral instead
insisted, without success, that her
husband be buried on his estate in
Chihuahua. Pancho Villa had married
several women after Corral, without
taking time to divorce in-between.
After his death in 1923, the Villa widows reached out to the government for
an inheritance and support for their
children. President Obregón, remembering the debt he owed Luz Corral
for saving his life, answered only her
appeal. The government officially recognized her as the rightful heir to the
Villa estate. Luz Corral, devoted to
preserving her husband’s place in history, lived in the Villa’s home until her
death in 1981, at the age of 89.
As a man and a military leader,
Francisco “Pancho” Villa lived boldly.
Audacious and steadfast, the former
general plunged to the depths of the
revolt’s cruelties but also lifted his
country into the light of constitutional, educational and personal-freedom
reforms.
“There is no doubt that history is
written by the victors,” said a speaker at the gravesite before Villa’s body
was moved to Mexico City. “But it is
also true that legends are written by
the people.”
A century later, hope rises from
the darkness and dust, and the hero
rides on.

a traveler named William Boardman describes the brutally difficult trip through
Yosemite he and his traveling party
made by wagon and horse, and how the

unforgivingly rigid hoopskirts, bruised
and battered. Even so, travelers were
eager to make their way there, to see, as
Boardman described it, this “wonder of

such as Yosemite and Yellowstone had
become both cultural and economic

Huntington Library Commemorates
I
n a wide-ranging examination of the
evolving role of the national parks
in American life, The Huntington
Library, Art Collections, and Botanical
Gardens will commemorate the centennial of the U.S. National Parks Service
in exhibitions that run consecutively
from May 2016 through February 2017
in the West Hall of the Library building.
The exhibitions will touch on a variety
of roles the National Parks have played
over time ... as scenic wonderlands that
have become iconic markers and essential destination points for tourists, adventure-seekers, scientists, government
surveyors, businessmen, and explorers
of all stripes. The exhibitions also will
examine the tensions that emerged as a
result of diverging priorities and competing agendas.
“The national parks are our nation’s
crown jewels,” said Peter Blodgett, H.
Russell Smith Foundation Curator of
Western Historical Manuscripts at The
Huntington, and exhibition curator.
“The centennial of this remarkable system of public lands gives us a perfect opportunity to reflect a little more deeply,
explore the dynamic interplay between
these great American landscapes and
the people who seek to define them.”
The first exhibition, Geographies of
Wonder: Origin Stories of America’s National Parks 1872–1933, is on view May
14 through Sept. 3, 2016 and features
some 100 items—all drawn from The

on display will be a mammoth 1873

historians, played an important role in
convincing Congress in 1872 to establish Yellowstone National Park, the first

assortment of these guidebooks and an
excerpt from a diary by a young excursionist named Amy Bridges, who describes her impressions of Yosemite just
30 years after the first Euro-American
tourist expeditions had reached it.
The exhibition also examines the
treatment of Native Americans in the
parks during this period. Lafayette Bunnell’s book-length account of the first
Euro-American incursion into Yosemite
Valley in 1851 describes rounding up
“Indians” who inhabited the region and
removing them from it, including Chief
Tenaya, for whom Yosemite’s famed Tenaya Lake is named.

scenic discoveries included Yellowstone,
the Grand Canyon, and Yosemite Valley.
“In those early years of Euro-American
settlement, we could claim no great cultural assets like the Louvre or the castles
on the Rhine,” said Blodgett. “So these
places quickly became our icons. They
were essential to our cultural identity
and began to draw people from all over
the world.”
Before there was Yellowstone, President Lincoln signed legislation in 1864
protecting Yosemite Valley, effectively
turning it over to the state of California
to keep it out of the hands of developers and private ownership. While this
was not the first national park, per se,

adopted the image of the Blackfoot Indian as a prominent part of its marketing campaign on behalf of Glacier National Park. On display will be several
examples of these types of brochures,
postcards, and promotional items, including a 1904 cover of Sunset magazine
featuring a painting by Chris Jorgensen
showing a native hut and a native woman working in the foreground, with Half
Dome in the background. “Indigenous
people were ousted and resettled outside of park boundaries, and yet their
historical presence was used as a prominent advertisement to entice people to
visit,” said Blodgett.
As interest in visiting the parks
grew, so did interest in exploiting their
rich resources: mineral deposits, timber,
and water chief among them. To counter those activities, a call for conservation
emerged, led vociferously by the renowned naturalist John Muir. Featured
in Origin Stories is Muir’s 1901 volume,
Our National Parks, a compendium of
articles he published in Atlantic Monthly
that establishes a conservation agenda
and the need for active stewardship of
these sites. And with such activism on
behalf of conservation came Stephen
Mather, assistant to the Secretary of the
Interior, calling for a centralized management plan. Under Secretary of the
Interior Franklin Lane, Mather created
the National Park Portfolio, on display in
the exhibition, a publication produced
to convince Congress to create the National Park Service. Congress passed
the legislation and President Woodrow
Wilson signed it in August 1916. “The
portfolio was strategically placed on every desk of every member of Congress
at the time,” said Blodgett. After the
vote, Mather was appointed the Park
Service’s first director.
Even with centralized management
and an activist director, exploitation and
encroachment into the parks remained
a concern. The battle over Yosemite’s

1920s to provide water to San Francisco,
became a linchpin for conservation activists. The National Parks Association, a
private organization established to lobby for protection, was launched in 1919.
The exhibition will include copies of the
NPA newsletter and a 1922 letter by the
association’s then director, Robert Sterling Yard, calling for the protection of
the parks from excessive development.
As much as the parks were seen as
wondrous places for both recreation and
conservation, they were also understood
as an important locus for serious scientific work. Both government and private
entities launched coordinated efforts to
study the biology, topography, hydrology, and geography of the parks. Origin
Stories will feature letters and related
documentation of early scientific study
conducted in the parks, including a 1925
copy of Yosemite Nature Notes, produced
by the park’s naturalist, C.P. Russell,
and a 1911 report written by ethnologist
Jesse Walker Fewkes, summarizing the
antiquities of the cliff-dwelling Anasazi,
preserved within Mesa Verde National
Park.
The 1920s were a “boom period”
for visitors, said Blodgett, fueled by
rail and automobile transportation, a
roaring economy, and active marketing
and advertising. But by the late 1920s
and early 1930s, with the Great Depression, the numbers of visitors began to
wane and the Park Service’s budget had
shrunk. These were much quieter and
leaner years for the parks until President
Franklin D. Roosevelt launched his New
Deal program, which included an ambitious plan to expand the parks. That
growth period, through the present, will
be examined in the second exhibition,
Geographies of Wonder: Evolution of the
National Park Idea 1933–2016, which will
be on view Oct. 22, 2016–Feb. 13, 2017.

estled in hidden green valleys, dotted with red tile roofs
between Germany, Austria
and Poland, the charm, grace and rich
mineral springs of the Czech Republic
has lured kings, adventurers, and vacationers since the Middle Ages.
It’s crowning glory is Prague, the
City of the Hundred Spires, where
Bohemian kings, classical composers, invading Nazis, Soviet tanks, and
Velvet revolutionaries have strolled,
walked, and rolled over its labyrinthine, cobblestone streets and passed
its majestic buildings.
Prague has been a gathering point
from before the last Ice Age and permanent communities date to about
4,000 B.C. Over the centuries, the
city has been linked with music, art,
and literature. Mozart loved Prague
and, clearly, the city still loves him.
Live concerts of classical and modern
music can be heard at centuries old
churches throughout the city most every weekend.

tures artifacts and old brewing equipment that tell the story of the Czechs’
most famous gastronomic achievement: Pilsner beer.
The city center is a stunning
melange of Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Art Nouveau, Cubist, and Neoclassical architecture. But that is only
the beginning of a city that includes
rivers and parks, lively bars and beer
gardens, all-night music clubs, as well
as museums and art galleries.
From the cobbled streets of the
city, it’s a short walk to the Old Town
Square that dates to the 12th Century.
Here, you will find the Old Town Hall
Tower and Astronomical Clock, the
Church of Our Lady before Tyn, and
St. Nicholas Church.
Astronomical Clock
Since it was built in 1410, the Astronomical Clock has become – along
with the Charles Bridge – a symbol
of the city. The clock was remodeled
at the end of the 15th century and
– according to legend – the Municipal Council was so impressed with
the work by master clockmaker Ha-

the 60-year old Charles Bridge is, in
many ways, the centerpiece of the
city.
Strolling across the bridge at
dawn or dusk is almost a right of
passage for lovers, scholars, historians and travelers. It was Charles
IV in 1357 who commissioned Peter
Parler (the architect of St.Vitus Cathedral) to replace the 12th-century Judith Bridge, which had been washed
away by floods in 1342.
The new bridge was completed
around 1400 and known as Kamenny Most (Stone Bridge). It was more
than 50 years before the architectural marvel took on the name of the
Charles IV Bridge. Despite occasional flood damage, it has withstood not
only the ravages of weather, but also
wheeled traffic for 600 years. Legend
has it that the strength of the bridge
is due to eggs mixed into the mortar.
Following World War II (and to this
day) the Charles Bridge is open only
to foot traffic.
nus that they had him blinded so he
couldn’t create another like it. In a fit
of despair, Janus, reportedly, committed suicide by throwing himself into
the clock mechanism. It is said that,
as a result, the clock remained out of
register for almost a century.
Today, crowds gather in front of
the clock to watch the show that plays
out each hour from eight in the morning to eight at night. When the clock
strikes the hour, a medieval morality
play begins. Two doors slide open
and the statues of the Twelve Apostles glide by followed by the 15th century conception of the “evils” of life:
a Death skeleton, a preening Vanity,
a corrupt Official and a figure called
Greed, who is holding a money bag.
Although it is called a “clock,”
it does not track the time. It is an astronomical clock which marks the
phases of the moon, the equinoxes,
the seasons, the days, and the numerous Christian holidays.

Famous among its landmarks is
Spilberk Castle. Established around
the mid-13th century by the Czech
King Otokar II of Bohemia, it was
transformed into a Baroque fortress
during the Thirty Years War and converted into a prison in 1820. Today, the
Spilberk Castle houses The Brno City
Museum, which includes permanent
exhibitions such as The Casemates
(with a torture chamber and instruments of torture), a Baroque Pharmacy,
and a Lapidary.
Don’t miss the bent tower of Town
Hall in Old Town. The reason for the
tower being bent is shrouded in mystery and legend. One legend is that one
of the foreman when it was built was
not paid. As a protest to the corrupt
morals of the town council, he bent the
middle steeple: a strong statement that
remains to this day.
Villa Tugendhat (designated a
World Heritage site in 2001) is considered a pre-war masterpiece of the German architect Ludwig Mies van der
Rohe and ranks among the basic works
of modern architecture. Many consider
the house to be one of the most influential houses of the 20th century for
achieving what original owner Greta
Tugendhat called “a modern spacious
house… with clear and simple shapes”
that gave “a completely special calm”.
Of course, there is much more to
discover in the Czech Republic. No
wonder it tops the UNESCO World
Heritage List with 12 locations being
honored.

The Origins
of Disc Golf
A Surprising Local Treasure

growing sports in the United
States, even the world? What

added that the very first organized
course was and still is located just
below JPL at Oak Grove Park, now
called Hahamonga Watershed Park?
Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley
are known for many firsts. One of
the lesser known is the location for
the very first Disc Golf Course in the
world.
Oak Grove Park or Hahamonga Watershed Park is over 300 acres
serving Pasadena and the neighboring foothill communities. It offers
hiking trails, prime oak woodland,
picnic facilities, restrooms, equestrian gathering areas, a multi-purpose
playing field and has proved to be
the ideal location for the world’s
very first Disc Golf Course.
There is much debate about the
true origins of disc golf. Its history
is closely tied to the development
of the recreational flying disc popularized by the trademarked Frisbee
and produced by the Southern California based Wham-o MFG Company. The modern game has links
back to Saskatchewan, Canada (tin
lid golf), Rice University in Texas,
Rochester, New York and Newport
Beach, California. In fact, the first
documented, Wham-o sponsored,
Frisbee Golf tournament was held
at various Newport Beach city parks
and used Hula Hoops as holes. Kevin Donnelly was a Recreation Leader
for the City of Newport Beach and
organized that first event in 1961.
Then, in 1968, George Sappenfield
contacted Wham-o to support his
Professional Philo Brathwaite giving a lesson at Oak Grove Disc Golf Course.
Recreation program in Thousand
Oaks, California. For some reason,
the game never really took off. In
the early 70’s Frisbee promotions
became the “latest” craze. Football
half-time shows involved people
wowing crowds to Frisbee trick
shots and dogs displaying incredible athletic ability chasing down
Frisbees in amazing ways. In 1969,
the Rose Bowl field held one of the
largest Frisbee specific events called
the All Comers Frisbee Meet. Somehow, Wham-o failed to promote
Frisbee golf. It was left to a few
fringe individuals in various locaDisc Golf

tions throughout the United States
to keep the game in some form alive.
One of the main characters that
enters the scene and helped transform a fringe sport into the modern game it is today is “Steady” Ed
Headrick. He is considered the father of Disc Golf and a driving force
behind the modern era of Frisbee
sports. A former Wham-o employee,
Ed Headrick created a new Sports
Promotion Department at the company. In 1975, he decided to include
Disc Golf as one of the events at the
World Frisbee Championships. After experiencing the overwhelming
success of that Disc Golf event and
receiving positive reinforcement
from the participants, Headrick became convinced that disc golf could
be a major sport. That transformative event led to Headrick retiring
from Wham-o and starting the Disc
Golf Association (DGA) and eventually the Professional Disc Golf Association, which now oversees all of
the rules and regulations.
About the same time, Headrick
approached the county of Los Angeles Parks and Recreation Department with the idea of a permanent
Disc Golf Course. With solid evidence of the sports potential in hand,
Oak Grove Park (now Hahamonga
Watershed Park) was selected and
approved to install the world’s first
Disc Golf Course. The sport now
had solid roots from which to build.
What arguably may be Headrick’s most significant contribution
Disc Pole Hole at Oak Grove Disc Golf Course.
to the sport was the invention, production and installation of the Disc
Pole Hole. This new hole helped
end the days arguing over scores
because it incorporated chains and
a basket on a pole. No longer was
there a question if a disc hit a target
such as a tree or drinking fountain,
it now would be a standardized Disc
Pole Hole and obvious to all players.
Disc Golf has many comparison to “ball golf.” A course usually
Photos by C h r i st o p h e r M o o r e
consists of 18 holes, the players tee
off from tee boxes, there are out of
bounds and penalties, and there is
an established order of play. In fact,
even the discs themselves have similar names such as putters and drivers.
The discs for Disc Golf today
are much smaller and heavier than
traditional Frisbee discs. They are
typically 8-9 inches in diameter and
weigh between 120 and 180 grams.

The PDGA prohibits discs heavier
than 200 grams. They are designed
and shaped for speed, accuracy, control and distance. There is no limit
on the amount of different discs a
disc golfer can carry during a round,
and there is certainly a wide range
of options to choose from.
With many different types of
discs and different topographies
for individual holes, there are also
many different types of throws.
During the course of a round, you
may throw Backhand, Forehand (or
sidearm), Hatchet style (or Tomahawk), Thunder style (thumb on
the underside of disc), Rollers, Turbo Putt (an accurate way to putt for
short distances) or even Baseball or
Grenade style (upside down so the
disc does not roll away if the hole is
on a slope). A great part of the fun
and challenge of Disc Golf is being able to perfect different throws
(shots) for varied conditions.
More and more people are picking up the sport of Disc Golf. Disc
Golf is played in over 40 countries
around the world. There are now
thousands of courses with more and
more being built every year. Beside
Oak Grove Park, there are many other local courses. You can find courses at Chavez Ridge Disc Golf Course
near Dodger Stadium, DeBell Disc
Golf Course in Glendale and Verdugo Hills Disc Golf Course.
While each course offers its own
challenges and fun, something feels
magical playing on the very first one.
On any day of the week, you will
find players enjoying a round at Oak
Grove (OG), now Hahamonga. You
may even find a local professional,
like Philo Brathwaite, giving a lesson to a few of the growing list of
Disc Golf enthusiasts. It seems to be
a social affair. Many players know
each other and join in for a friendly round. New players are actually
welcomed as they help increase the
prize pool for various tournaments.
It is great doing research and
finding out about a new sport. It
is even better being able to go out
and play first hand. I am fortunate to have a close friend that is
an avid player, playing in several
tournaments throughout the year.
He knows Oak Grove well… Chris
Calleton invited me out for round at
Oak Grove one Saturday morning.
It was another beautiful Southern
California morning that would be
a shame to spend indoors. Having
played only a few times many years
ago, I was eager, yet hesitant because
of my skill level. I already owned a
limited number of discs and knew a
few basic throws. All my fears were
set aside when Chris explained to
me his enthusiasm for the sport and
how welcoming he and other players are to beginners.
We traversed the course going
from holes crossing open fields to
those spotted with dozens of oak
trees. It was simply an amazing
time. He explained to me there are
weekly and monthly tournaments at
Oak Grove and many other courses. I found out the different levels
which include Novice, Recreational, Intermediate, Advanced, Open
(professional), Advanced Masters
and Open Masters. There is obviously room for individuals to grow
within the sport. I probably learned
the greatest thing from Chris as we
were approaching the 18th tee. We
were about to finish up a fantastic
two hours, walking outside playing
a round of disc golf on the very first
Disc Golf Course in the world when
Chris became philosophical explaining his love for the sport. He said,
“This is an addiction. I’m adjusting
my life in a lot of different ways (to
be able to play). And now I’m going to ace this hole!” He was close;
he birdied. But I walked away addicted too and ready to get my first
birdie.
In retrospect, the new name for
Oak Grove Park, Hanamonga Watershed Park may be the perfect location
for the world’s first Disc Golf Course.
In the native Tongva language, Hahamonga mean flowing waters, fruitful valley. While water may not be
flowing as much anymore, discs certainly are now flowing all over the
valley, and players of all generations
and levels are enjoying the fruitful
rewards of a great time spent in another local treasure.

Los Angeles Farmers Market
A Landmark
Day of Fun
I
In 1948, the clock tower was constructed and is the gateway to the Farmers Market.
ts giant clock tower is a distinguishable historic-cultural monument,
making the signature icon a mustsee destination for millions around the
world.
It just happens to be the perfect
gateway to a day of fun, and the centerpiece for the phrase “meet me at
3rd and Fairfax,” or better known as
the original Farmers Market in Los
Angeles.
With an abundance of restaurants,
grocers and service providers just beyond the distinctive entrance, visitors
find an array of fresh produce, a wide
variety of food choices and friendly
faces as the unique shopping destination has become a favorite of both
locals and tourists alike for just over
80 years.
It all began in July 1934 when
businessman Roger Duhlhjelm and
advertising copywriter Fred Beck
asked the owners of Gilmore Island, a
former dairy at 3rd and Fairfax, if they
could sell fresh produce and also invite local farmers to the site to peddle
their goods. Each of the initial 18 farmPlenty

the
ers who heard about the opportunity,
some responding to ads on KNX radio, paid 50 cents in rent to park their
trucks.
A mere three months following
the market’s opening, its popularity was cause for celebration as the
founders staged the first Fall Festival,
an annual tradition still held today.
Originally, it became known as the
“Farmers Public Market,” and soon
after, permanent stalls were erected,
allowing farmers to more conveniently serve customers. It wasn’t long before “Public” was dropped from the
name and Dahlhjelm and Beck’s idea
of a market began to flourish.
The Farmers Market land was
originally purchased by Arthur Fremont Gilmore and his partner, Julius
Carter, in the 1880s. When the pair
dissolved their business relationship,
they opted to divide the land and A.F.
Gilmore came away with a 256-acre
dairy farm at the location. It wasn’t
long before Gilmore started drilling
water on the ranch to expand the
dairy herd and instead discovered oil.
Gilmore and his son, Earl Bell (E.B.),
began distributing petroleum products in the western part of the country
and turned the Gilmore Oil Company
into an enormous success. A replica of
Earl’s 1936 Gilmore Gas station can be
found at the Farmers Market entrance,
complete with every detail, from the
pumps to magazines on a desk inside
an office.
The oil business led to other ventures and interests. The Gilmore’s
sponsored a series of race cars, from

midgets to a pair that won the Indianapolis 500. As a result, Earl Bell Gilmore is honored in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame.
Annually, to kick off summer, on
the first Saturday in June the market hosts the Gilmore Heritage Auto
Show, followed by the lively Fall Festival, which over the years has featured
marching bands, elephants, parades
and pie eating contests. The celebration, honoring the market’s humble
beginning, was suspended during
World War II for about two years and
has resumed and lived on as, perhaps,
the market’s most enjoyable spectacle
of the year.
It’s a reminder to those in attendance of how it all began, an appreciation for the market’s long history,
and a step back in time to thank some
of the original operators for their contributions over the years. Believing
the first farmers might want something to eat while they sold produce,
Blanche Magee got the idea in those
early years of selling sandwiches, and
it paid off swimmingly as McGee’s is
still owned and operated by the Magee family today while continuing to
serve market patrons. Among the initial companies, Ultimate Nut & Candy
Company, now known as Magic Nut
& Candy Company, opened soon after
the market began operation and continues to sell a variety of exotic nuts
and candied fruits.
Some workers, like those at Little-
Glazier
john’s House of English Toffee, or Bennett’s Ice Cream, make their products
by scratch and can be seen plying their
trade in windows of shops as appreciative customers walk by, some taking time for a friendly wave.
According to a website highlighting L.A.’s original Farmers Market, in
an average year approximately three
million people visit the place. On an
average day, more than 1,000 gallons
of coffee are sold, about $35 is tossed
into a wishing well, and the Tusquellas Fish & Oyster Bar sells approximately 3,000 shrimp. Bob’s Doughnuts, a staple of the market, gets an
early start, baking about 1,000 of their
specialty each day, starting daily at
4:30 a.m. and, along with the popular
dinosaur and kitty variety, sells what
many swear is the best cinnamon roll
ever made.
Driving the success of the Farmers Market, 700 workers are employed
in the roughly 100 shops, which
are about 90 percent independently
owned.
Arguably, a favorite time of year
are the days leading up to the annual
Rose Bowl Game when approximately 85 tour buses bring thousands of
football fans to the property on a daily
basis.

Breakfast Spots
Flavorful Food Made From Scratch
E
by
Julie Schnieders
ating breakfast out is a treat
many people look forward
to on the weekends or for a
weekday meeting spot. It’s hard to
beat made-to-order hash browns,
sizzling hot cakes, or a fully-loaded,
fluffy, white omelet. However, finding the perfect breakfast spot with
tasty food, rich coffee, and a touch
of nostalgia, is hard to find.
Cindy’s Coffee Shop
Cindy’s Coffee Shop in Eagle
Rock has all of the above. The coffee shop, which was named after the
original owner’s daughter, Cindy,
opened in 1948. It’s “googie” style
sign, which was popular throughout
Los Angeles in the 1950s, beckons
roadside drivers to stop and come in
for a bite to eat. The interior of Cindy’s is retro and still has the original
orange booths from back in the day,
along with the same service counter
customers have been dining at for
years. Current owner, Paul Rosenbluh and Monique King, who have
owned the diner since 2014, hope to
restore it completely one day. “We
hope to keep it period,” Rosenbluth
said.
The colorful decor is welcoming with dangling pendant lights
over the counter. But, better than the
hipster vibe, is the food. Paul, who
himself is a chef and used to be the
owner of FireFly in South Pasadena,
came up with all of the recipes.
Paul no longer does the cooking,
but oversees the operations of the
diner, ordering only the best quality ingredients and making sure everything is made from scratch. “We
make everything from scratch. It is
all made in house: the jam, the syrup. That is what makes us different
from other restaurants. We make ev-
erything. We even smoke all of our
own meats,” Rosenbluth said.
Eating breakfast, brunch or
lunch at Cindy’s is sure to delight
any palette. The Green Goddess
omelette with parsley pesto is delicious as is the popular brisket hash
with sweet potatoes and bell peppers. Children will like the thick cut
French toast or huge stack of buttermilk pancakes. Cindy’s Coffee Shop
is located at 1500 Colorado Boulevard in Los Angeles.
Fox’s Restaurant
Fox’s Restaurant, open for
breakfast and lunch, has been a landThe “googie” style sign for Cindy’s

mark in Altadena since 1955. Nothing much about Fox’s has changed
since then, but that is a good thing.
Red and white checkered curtains,
along with wood paneled walls and
red chairs have been the motif since
the restaurant’s inception. “Ken
does not want to change the decor
of his restaurant because it is how
his parents set it up,”
said DeeDee Grother,
who is a server at the
restaurant.
Paul and Edie
Fox were the original owners of Fox’s
Restaurant. Edie was
head chef and made
most
everything
from scratch. In 1967,
Ken Bertonneau, who
is Paul’s stepson and
Edie’s son, bought
the restaurant from
his parents and have
been running it ever
since. Ken and his
wife Lorraine enjoy carrying on the
tradition of making most everything
from scratch like Edie did. “All the
salad dressing is homemade, including the tartar sauce, soups, and our
famous muffins,” said Grother.
Fox’s is known for good
old-fashioned homestyle breakfasts.
The Cottage Fries are amazing with
thinly sliced potatoes and sautéed
onions and bell peppers. Waiters
bring homemade blueberry muffins
and cornflake muffins right to the
table as customers sit down. Egg
plates, omelets, hot cakes, ground
beef patties and top sirloin steak
are also some noteworthy dishes at
Fox’s.
Customers can also order specialty coffee drinks from Fox’s
Backside, located behind the restaurant. Latte’s and cappuccino’s are
whipped up, made to order, for caffeine deprived customers.
Fox’s Restaurant is a one-of-akind gem where waiters know their
customers’ names and breakfast
tastes like it’s homemade. Fox’s is

Fox’s Restaurant is named after its original owners Paul and Edie Fox. It is a
landmark in Altadena.
Marston’s
Marston’s may not have been
around as long as Cindy’s Diner
or Fox’s, but the quality of food is
outstanding and the home-style atmosphere is appealing to anyone
who wants a relaxing and delicious
breakfast. Sally and Otis Marston
first opened the doors to Marston’s
in a charming Craftsman cottage in
Pasadena in 1987. Plain-Air paintings done by local artists don the
walls of the restaurant, making customers feel right at home. It has been
a local breakfast, brunch and lunch
favorite for more than 30 years.
Owner and chef Jim McCardy, creates delicious breakfasts like
“Fantastic French Toast” made with
thick slices of sourdough dipped in
egg batter, rolled in corn flakes and
served with fresh berries and syrup.
“The Californian” omelet is also a
popular choice with chicken cilantro
sausage, spinach, tomato, cheddar
cheese, avocado, and sour cream.
Marston’s was voted “Best Sunday Brunch” and “Best Breakfast”
by readers in the Pasadena Weekly
in 2014. When going to breakfast at
Marston’s, plan extra time, especially on weekends when a long wait
time to get a table is common. Marston’s in Pasadena is located at 151 E
Walnut Street. Marston’s in Valencia
is located at 24011 Newhall Ranch
Road.
Julienne
Julienne is another local favorite breakfast and lunch spot, located
in San Marino. Founded by Susan
Campoy, Julienne is known in the
community for its gourmet food and
excellent service. Julienne serves its
signature Rosemary bread with each
meal, dishes up organic high quality food and strong coffee. It is also
known for its charming atmosphere,
that is both relaxing and sophisticated with an upscale flare.
Dining on the patio at Julienne
is like being in Europe. Many people
enjoy an extended breakfast or lunch
on the patio, enjoying delicious food
and beverage as the day goes by.
Recommended breakfasts include
Parmesan Crusted Potato Cake
served with guacamole and pico
de gallo; open-faced omelet with
chicken sausage, Gruyere cheese
and tomatoes, and buttermilk pancakes with blueberry compote and
house-made lemon curd. Julienne’s
is located at 2649 Mission Street in
San Marino.
Whether looking for a diner-type coffee shop or an upscale
breakfast spot, Cindy’s Diner, Fox’s,
Marston’s or Julienne all make excellent choices for a memorable and
delicious breakfast.

Welcome Back L.A. Rams
T
B y M a r k L a n g i ll
he surprise return of the Rams
football franchise to Southern
California in 2016 gives fans a
chance to scour their attic for vintage
items relating to the team’s Los Angeles tenure from 1946-94.
Here is a quick refresher course
on early West Coast Rams trivia and
other colorful tales as the team plays
its home games at the Los Angeles
Coliseum during the construction
of its new facility in Inglewood. The
L.A. Rams originally played at the
Coliseum until moving to Anaheim
Stadium in 1980.
Geography
Actually, this is the second time
the franchise is moving to Los Angeles. The team was founded in Cleveland in 1936. The name “Rams” was
taken from the nickname of Fordham
University. The Rams were acquired
in 1941 by an ownership group headed by businessman Dan Reeves, who
dreamed of professional football in
Los Angeles.
The outbreak of World War II
forced Reeves to keep the Rams in
Cleveland. The team suspended operations in 1943 because of a shortage
of players. Former UCLA quarterback
Bob Waterfield led the Rams to the
NFL title in 1945, but Reeves was determined to leave for greener pastures
and when his initial request to move
was denied by the NFL, he threatened
to leave football. The Rams remain
the only NFL team to leave town after
winning a championship.
1950. Southern California
sports fans enjoyed the
vivid play-by-play descriptions of Bob Kelly,
the original voice of the
Rams for 26 seasons until
his death of a heart attack
at age 49 in 1966.
Branding
The Rams were the
first team to have a painted design on their helmets, thanks to the imagination of Fred Gehrke, a
running back and receiver from the University of
Utah.
“We had the old
leather head gears that
were just plain brown
and fairly drab looking uniforms with black
shoes,” Gehrke said in
a 1986 interview. “Having been an art major in
school, that always bothered me a little bit. So I
decided to make a draw-
ing for Mr. Reeves. He couldn’t quite
understand what I was trying to get
at. So I said, ‘Let me take my headgear home and do one up for you,’
That evening, I painted my headgear
with the ram horns and brought it
back in to the office. Mr. Reeves went
wild about it. He said, ‘That’s a great
idea!’”
Reeves contacted the NFL and
asked if it would be legal to play with
a painted helmet. The response was
something along the lines of, “you’re
the owner … do what you want!”
Gehrke spent the entire summer of
1947 painting the 75 helmets that
filled his garage.
The helmets made their debut in
the annual Times Charity Game when
the Rams played host to the Redskins.
A crowd of 105,000 gave the team a
standing ovation when the players
ran onto the field. Gehrke kept cans
of blue and gold paint because the
lacquer finish would chip, requiring
touch-ups after every game.
By 1949, the Riddell Sporting
Goods created a plastic helmet and
See L.A. Rams page 53
Integration
From 1933-45, there were no African-American players in the NFL.
During negotiations to play at the
Coliseum, Reeves was told a precondition to getting a lease would be
integrating the Rams. Reeves signed
former local star Kenny Washington,
whose UCLA teammate Jackie Robinson was about to integrate professional baseball with the Brooklyn Dodger
organization. The Rams in 1946 added a second African-American player, Woody Strode, who played with
Washington and Robinson at UCLA
and later became an actor.

Television
Long before the NFL adopted a
television package with teams equally dividing profits and gate revenues,
the Rams were pioneers in the concept of televising road games. The
popularity of those broadcasts bolstered home attendance at the Coliseum and Los Angeles quickly rose
to the top of the box-office charts by

The Magical World
of Carousels
“I’d like to have the kind of
house someday where a carousel
horse wouldn’t be out of place in the
living room.” (Jay McInerney, novelist)
McInerney speaks for many of
us. As children we are delighted by
the brightly painted horses and fanciful beasts that propel us up and
down and spin us ‘round and ‘round
in the giddy merriment of a carousel.
As adults we are enchanted by these
whimsical creatures as much for their
imaginative artistry as for the memories.
and more. In addition, a special “photo opportunity” area will include
several animals that children and
adults will be welcome to climb and
sit upon. Additional carousel-related
items and art will further enhance the
displays.
Flying Horses & Mythical Beasts is
the first exhibition devoted solely to
items in the collection of local collector and conservator Lourinda Bray,
who is guest curator for this exhibit.
Bray’s Running Horse Studio in Irwindale houses her nearly-unimaginable menagerie, along with carousel art, miniatures, posters, postcards
and more in 6,000 square feet of jampacked merry-go-round memorabilia. Here she spends her days carefully
restoring animals for other collectors
and for operational carousels, as well
as pieces in her own collection, which
spans the history of carousels, from
the mid-19th century to modern day,
with many examples from the Golden Age of Carousels, 1861-1920.
A bit of historical perspective:
2016 marks the 145th anniversary of
the modern carousel in the United
States. National Carousel Day on July
25 marks the day William Schneider
of Davenport, Iowa, was issued the
first American patent for a carousel,
in 1871.
Flying Horses & Mythical Beasts:
The Magical World of Carousels is on
view June 1 through August 28 from
12 Noon to 5:00 pm Wednesdays
through Sundays at Pasadena Museum of History, 470 W. Walnut St., Pasadena, CA 91103. Admission is $7 for
adults; $6 for students & seniors; free
for Museum members and children
under 12. Free parking. Please visit
www.pasadenahistory.org for updated information on special programs
related to the Carousels exhibition, or
call (626) 577-1660.
This summer, Pasadena Museum
of History invites the public to bask
in the joyful ambiance of a quintessential childhood entertainment with
a uniquely “touchable” exhibition,
Flying Horses & Mythical Beasts: The
Magical World of Carousels. From June
1 through August 28 visitors of all
ages will be able to see -- and touch

the San Gabriel Valley) and Mexico, of

his past April, Avon, the beauty product company for women, celebrated its 130th Anniversary. Pasadena is the home to Avon’s oldest
distribution facility in the U.S. The landmark building, at 2940 East
Foothill Blvd, has served as a distribution center as well as a meeting place
for sales representatives and leadership since 1946.
Avon has a long history of empowering women around the globe. In
1886, 34 years before women in the U.S. earned the right to vote, Avon founder, David H. McConnell, helped give them the chance to earn an independent
income.
He didn’t set out to create a beauty company. In fact, McConnell was
a traveling book salesperson and offered beauty products as an additional
perk to his female customers. He noticed that these women were very interested in the free perfume samples and that many of them stayed home while
their husbands went off to work. Since women had a passion for his products
and loved networking with other women, McConnell was inspired to recruit
them as Sales Representatives. From a small New York City office, McConnell himself mixed the company’s first fragrances. Avon offered women the
opportunity to be CEOs of their own businesses and control their economic
destinies.

old Pacific Coast League, long before
the Los Angeles Dodgers moved west
from Brooklyn. Gilmore Stadium, a
separate venue and the current site of
CBS television next door, opened two
months prior to the Farmers Market
and was home to midget car racing,
rodeos, boxing matches, dog shows,
cricket, donkey baseball and the Los
Angeles Bulldogs professional football team. The field was so intimate
that baseball fans in the bleachers
could carry on conversations with
outfielders.
If it’s food you’re looking for,
the Farmers’ Market offers plenty of
choices, including a mix of ethnic and
cultural cuisines, from Greek to Asian,
French to Mexican. Music is in good
supply as well, especially during the
spring and summer months, when a
free entertainment series features jazz
on Thursday nights and concert performances on Friday evenings while
showcasing some of the top musicians in the Los Angeles area.
Added to the excitement, just
steps away from the Farmers Market
is “The Grove,” featuring an array of
upscale merchants like Nordstrom,
Nike, and Apple, and replica of the
original Red Car trolley shuttling patrons between the two shopping areas.
The double-decker mode of transportation makes three stops, providing
ample of fun for passengers taking
advantage of the free ride. Historic in
its own right, the Grove sits on land
once occupied by the Gilmore DriveIn Theater and Gilmore Bank.
The LA Farmers Market, a place
known for its food, fun and shopping,
continues to remain an ideal outing for all generations. “There’s just
something about this place that energizes me,” said Rebecca Kennedy,
a Los Angeles native standing in line
at Magee’s House of Nuts. “I love its
history, the mom and pop restaurants,
stores and feel of the place. I’ve been
coming here for years and just love
it.”

The Colorado Street
Bridge Party
Pasadena Heritage’s Famous Summer Event
P
asadena’s biggest block party
is back! Everyone is invited to
join Pasadena Heritage in celebration at the Colorado Street Bridge
Party Saturday, July 16th from 6:00
p.m. to 11:30 p.m. This night of music,
dancing, vintage cars, free kids activities, and festive foods and beverages will be held atop one of the most
beautiful bridges in the world.
Old favorites will return and
new attractions are being added to
make July 16th a night to remember.
This year we will be having a Silent
Disco hosted by Sound Off Experience in the park! We will still have
live music on three stages which will
offer groups such as Snotty Scott
& the Hankies and Mercy and the
Merkettes, while the Park Stage will
feature Alumni Acoustic opening for
Crimson Crowbar. Youngsters will be
thoroughly entertained in the children’s area with balloons, face painting, cookie decorating, drum circles,
Rock Theatre and much more.
Guests can stroll along the Bridge
to discover delicious offerings from
local vendors including Bling Bling
Dumplings, Whole Foods, Bulgarini
Gelato, Pam’s Sweet Shack, The Old
Kettel Corn Company, Cumin, Urban
Oven, and more. A selection of wines
from San Antonio Winery, along with
on-tap handcrafted beers from Craftsman Brewing and other micro brewers, and specialty cocktails will also
be available.
The Colorado Street Bridge has
been threatened numerous times in
its one hundred and three year history, and for the last 39 years, Pasadena
Heritage has been its leading champion. To save and restore this iconic
structure, the organization conducted
letter-writing campaigns, constant
lobbying and national publicity efforts. Pasadena Heritage’s famous
summer event on the spectacular span
first highlighted the need to repair it.
After many years of effort, the Bridge
was saved, seismically upgraded and
restored to its original grandeur – a
feat that is celebrated biennially when
5,000 people turn out for what has become a much anticipated community
event. Join us this year and become a
part of the tradition!

After graduating from the University
of San Francisco and holding a series
of PR positions, Rozelle returned to
the Rams in 1957 as the team’s general manager. In a three-year span,
Rozelle transformed the Rams from a
disorganized franchise into a successful business model.
When Rozelle in January 1960
became NFL commissioner at age
33 following the death of Bert Bell,
his business success with the Rams
continued on a league-wide scale as
he transformed the NFL into one of
the most successful sports leagues in
the world during his tenure through
1989.
1951 Champs
The Rams lost the 1950 NFL championship game against the Cleveland
Browns, 30-28, on a last-second field
goal by Cleveland’s Lou Groza. The
teams met again in the 1951 and Los
Angeles won the title with a 24-17 victory. The offensive stars were Waterfield, quarterback Norm Van Brocklin, wide receiver Elroy “Crazy Legs”
Hirsch and tight end Tom Fears.

Pete Rozelle first joined the Rams
in 1946 as a public relations assistant
while attending Compton Community College. His teammate at Compton
High School was Duke Snider, the future Hall of Fame baseball player with

The Sport of Baseball
The Brookside Plunge
On May 29, 1922, in Federal Baseball Club of Baltimore v. National League of Professional Base Ball Clubs, the U.S. Supreme
Court ruled that organized baseball is not a business, but a
sport. In his opinion, Chief Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes
wrote that baseball did not constitute interstate commerce,
in spite of the fact that its clubs and players crossed state
lines in order to play. Justice Holmes reasoned that personal effort, not related to production, is not a subject of commerce. This exception to the Sherman Antitrust Act remains
intact, making baseball the only professional sport in the
country to enjoy an antitrust exemption.
The Rose Bowl Aquatic Center’s current site was once the
Brookside Plunge. Mrs. Everett Wellington Brooks donated
$3,000 to build a municipal swimming pool, which opened
on July 4, 1914. Meant to be a carefree place for fun and relaxation, the dark cloud of segregation and racism shrouded the pool. Equal rights prevailed and, after closure due to
WWII, the pool was reopened in June 1947, the same year
Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in baseball, and was
accessible to all swimmers in Pasadena, regardless of race.
The Plunge fell on hard times and closed in 1983. The new
Aquatic center was built and opened in 1990. The site prior
to 1914 was Sheep Corral Springs, a pastureland for sheep
from the San Gabriel Mission.
AUGUST
JUNE
100 Years of Natural Enjoyment
An Unusual Race
On a gloomy day in June of 1944, on Highway 39 near the
city of La Habra, 18-year-old Pete Henderson, a student at
Pasadena Junior College (now PCC), gunned his 1932 Ford
Roadster on the pavement just as the champion quarter
horse on the adjacent shoulder took off. Although this type
of race usually goes to the horse, with its explosive acceleration covering 50 yards in four seconds, Henderson’s ’32 was
the quickest thing in the San Gabriel Valley, and he won by
a hood length. The horse and the stranger who had a side
business of making wagers with hot rodders, remain a mystery, but spectator Ernie MacAfee captured the moment: It
wasn’t a line in the sand but a line of dirt at the finish.
Summer 2016
On August 25, 1916, Pres
President Woodrow Wilson
signed the “Organic Act”,
creating the National Park
Service, a new federal bu
bureau in the Department of
the Interior responsible
for protecting the 35 na
national parks and monu
monuments then managed by
the department and those
yet to be established. This
Act states that “the Service
thus established shall pro
promote and regulate the use
of the Federal areas known as national parks, monuments
and reservations … which purpose is to conserve the
scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wild
life therein and to provide for the enjoyment of the same
in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.”
