a 367-foot (112 m), 33-story hotel in Los Angeles, California, constructed between 1974 and 1976.[6] It was designed by architect John C. Portman Jr.. The top floor has a revolving restaurant and bar. It was originally owned by investors that included a subsidiary of Japanese conglomerate Mitsubishi Corporation and John Portman & Associates. The building is managed by Aimbridge Hospitality (IHR), and is valued at $200 million.
The hotel and its architect John Portman have been the subject of several documentaries and academic analyses.[7][8]
Fredric Jameson discusses the hotel in his 1984 essay, "Postmodernism, or, the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism," and in his 1991 book by the same name.[9][10] He writes that
the Bonaventura aspires to being a total space, a complete world, a kind of miniature city (and I would want to add that to this new total space corresponds a new collective practice, a new mode in which individuals move and congregate, something like the practice of a new and historically original kind of hyper-crowd).[11]
In his book Postmodern Geographies: The Reassertion of Space in Critical Social Theory (1989), Edward Soja describes the hotel as
a concentrated representation of the restructured spatiality of the late capitalist city: fragmented and fragmenting, homogeneous and homogenizing, divertingly packaged yet curiously incomprehensible, seemingly open in presenting itself to view but constantly pressing to enclose, to compartmentalize, to circumscribe, to incarcerate. Everything imaginable appears to be available in this micro-urb but real places are difficult to find, its spaces confuse an effective cognitive mapping, its pastiche of superficial reflections bewilder co-ordination and encourage submission instead. Entry by land is forbidding to those who carelessly walk but entrance is nevertheless encouraged at many different levels. Once inside, however, it becomes daunting to get out again without bureaucratic assistance. In so many ways, its architecture recapitulates and reflects the sprawling manufactured spaces of Los Angeles.[12]
The hotel is a 33-story building, with no floors numbered "7" or "13"; the top floor is therefore numbered "35". The four elevator banks (each containing three cars for a total of 12) are named by colors and symbols: Red Circle (the only one that goes to "35"; the other three only go to "32"), Yellow Diamond, Green Square, and Blue Triangle. The color-coded system of directions was a later addition, as visitors found the space confusing and hard to navigate.[13]
Several bronze plaques commemorate elevator scenes from three major films:
In the Line of Fire,[14][15] September 1993, "Green Square" elevator
True Lies,[15] September 1993, "Red Circle" and "Yellow Diamond" elevators
Forget Paris,[15] November 1994, "Yellow Diamond" elevator
It has been featured in many movies and television series over the years, including Interstellar,[16] Strange Days, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (as part of the city of New Chicago), Wonder Woman,[17] Blue Thunder, It's a Living,[18] Starsky & Hutch, L.A. Law, The A-Team, Breathless, Matlock, This Is Spinal Tap, Nick of Time,[19] Rain Man,[19][20] Ruthless People,[19] Logan's Run,[19] My Fellow Americans,[19] Midnight Madness, Moonlighting (TV series), Showtime, Hard to Kill, The Lincoln Lawyer, Chuck, Heaven Can Wait, Xanadu, The New Dragnet, Time After Time, Moby Dick,[21] Zoolander,[22] Lethal Weapon 2,[19] The Fantastic Journey[23][24] and was destroyed (via special effects) in Escape from LA, Epicenter and San Andreas. The front of the hotel was also featured in the British children’s television series Tots Tv ‘American Adventure’ special where Tilly, Tom and Tiny went to explore a different country and were observing tall buildings and went onto the roof of the hotel to observe the view of Los Angeles.[25] You can see it under construction in the 1975 film The Wilderness Family (released a year before the hotel opened). In cartoon form, the building can be seen in the first shot of Jem in the episode "The Beginning", and in the anime Steins;Gate. In November 1979, the ABC soap opera General Hospital videotaped some on location scenes there dealing with Luke Spencer, played by Anthony Geary who was hired to assassinate Senator Mitch Williams. In 1999, Power Rangers Lost Galaxy used the building as the administration building of the space colony Terra Venture, with Red Ranger Leo falling from the building after a battle with main villain Trakeena.
In 2002, the hotel was the location for a Fear Factor stunt which involved crossing a bridge of plexiglass discs on cables suspended on the lobby's fifth floor.[26] The television series It's a Living was set in a restaurant atop the Bonaventure. The hotel is also showcased in episodes of CSI and its exterior can be seen in Americathon, Mission: Impossible III, Almighty Thor, Hancock, and at the beginning of the Lionel Richie "Dancing on the Ceiling" music video. The building made appearances in the 1991 Kylie Minogue music video Step Back in Time, the 1985 Survivor music video "The Search Is Over", the 2004 video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the 2012 video game Call of Duty: Black Ops II (in the "Aftermath" multiplayer map) and in the 2013 video game Grand Theft Auto V with the name "Arcadius Business Center" (having three towers instead of four towers and featuring glass elevator animations).
The hotel was also used as a setting for R&B singer Usher's music video for the 2002 hit single, "U Don't Have to Call". A pivotal scene in the season four (2005) episode "Another Mister Sloane" of the espionage drama Alias took place in the Bonaventure Hotel as well, while it was also featured in season one (2017), episode five of another espionage drama, Counterpart. In 2021, Rihanna's "Savage x Fenty Show Vol. 3" was filmed entirely on location at the hotel.[27][28] The hotel also hosted the first task for the final leg of The Amazing Race 33, which aired in 2022.[26]

SEATTLE -- A crowd of 45,000 fans got an extra surprise at the end of the Paul McCartney concert at Safeco Field, when members of Nirvana joined him on stage.
It's not the first time Sir Paul & Nirvana have collaborated. They also played together during the December 2012 Hurricane Sandy relief concert.
The event was the first-ever public concert at Safeco Field.
It took 250 people, 31 trucks of gear and 70,000 watts of audio equipment to get the stadium ready for the show and the crowds that came with it. The preparation work included laying down a protective surface to protect the field from forklifts and other machinery setting up the stage in center field.
Fans told KING 5 they'd go just about anywhere to see Sir Paul perform, but the setting made this show even more of a must-see.
"It's such a beautiful Seattle day," said Judy Qualls. "And we get to see a legend."
After the concert, crews will work through the weekend, removing everything and preparing for the Monday night Mariners game.

Former Associated Oil pipeline plant near Mendota, CA. Crude oil would be heated and sent on its way from the oil fields to the Avon Refinery at San Francisco Bay. Photo taken 8/26/06.
The left on has absolutely nothing to do with the middle one, although both of the are called "Requiem". The right one, "Exorcism of Emily Rose" on the other hand has pretty much to do withe middle one, because it tells the same story. Okay, "Requiem" is a psychological drama and a much better film as "Exorcism...", which is just plain stupid Hollywood bullcrap with some annoying religious connotation

The remains of a World War Two Heavy Anti-Aircraft Battery built in 1942 near to Manor Farm, consisting of four Gun Emplacements and associated temporary huts and operational buildings. The remains of the Gun Battery are set out in a semi-circle to the east of the building approximately 88ft apart, to the north is a small track linking it to the road. The Anti-Aircraft Battery was armed with four 3.7 inch Static Guns (probably Vickers QF 3.7inch Anti-Aircraft Guns) which were guided by GL Mark II Radar System, in 1942 the Battery was manned by 332 Battery of the 106th Royal Artillery Regiment, and was retained as an Off-Site Nucleus Force Battery in 1946. The site nowadays is quite overgrown, the Magazines are slowly deteriorating and the Crew Rooms are flooded with parts of the shuttering breaking away, it is used for agricultural purposes, storage of scrap, manure and general junk, and sits on private land.

Associate director for academic programs Mary Story introduces some of the DGHI faculty members to admitted students.
We recreated our backhallway/ associate enrance for our roll out Art of Hosting Brilliantly. This is a panoramic photo of the whole transformation. We ignited the red, with a continual strip through out the hallway. To the left, is where our Thoughtful, Dynamic, Polished hang (see additional photo). You can see our brand new time clocks, rolled out 9/21. Hanging across from the time clocks is Bill Marriotts tale of opening Twin Bridges. You cant see from the photo very well but also hanging is BE BRILLIANT. We want everyone to remember to be BRILLIANT
