The monument to Zhambyl Zhabayev was fixed up at the square near the Iskra cinema theatre in 1996 in honor of the 150th anniversary of the akyn. It is made of bronze and the sculptor was Kh.Nauryzbayev. The sculpture represents the akyn in the moment of creativity; he pensively stares into the space and holds dombra in his hands.
Zhambyl Zhabayev was born in 1846 and died in 1945. He was a popular poet – one of the best representatives of Kazakh verbal speakings. His first teacher in singing was akyn Suyunbai. The most popular poems were: «In Lenin’s mausoleum», «People’s greeting», «I visited all places in the world» and «Dear land».
During World War II he wrote invocatory poems calling to heroic struggle. The warriors have been inspired with his poems «To Moscow» and «Oh, Leningraders, oh, my children!». The Kazakh National Philharmonic Hall in Almaty was called in honor of Zhambyl, as well as a Street, a mountain peak and a glacier in Zailyislyi Alatau.

Interstate 610 (abbreviated I-610) is a freeway that forms a 38-mile-long (61 km) loop around the downtown sector of city of Houston, Texas. Interstate 610, colloquially known as The Loop, Loop 610, The 610 Loop, or just 610, traditionally marks the border between the inner city of Houston ("inside the Loop") and its surrounding areas. It is the inner of the three Houston beltways, the other two being Beltway 8 (Sam Houston Tollway) and State Highway 99 (Grand Parkway), which is currently under construction and not complete.
In Houston the area inside the 610 Loop is the urban core. A person who lives inside the 610 Loop is called an "inner looper" and Jeff Balke of the Houston Post wrote that the freeway "is as much a social and philosophical divide as a physical one."
Major segments of Interstate 610 are known as the North Loop, the South Loop, the East Loop, and the West Loop. The North Loop runs from U.S. Highway 290 to U.S. Highway 90. The East Loop runs from Highway 90 to State Highway 225. The West Loop runs from Highway 290 to the South Post Oak Road spur, and the South Loop runs from South Post Oak Road to Highway 225. Sometimes, a direction name is added as a suffix to denote a more specific part of a portion of the loop and this does not denote the direction of traffic flow.

The Mark Hotel (formerly The Mark Mandarin Oriental Hotel)
25 East 77th Street (at Madison Avenue)
New York, NY
Lobby sitting area - The Mark Hotel - designed by Jacques Grange
--------------------
Originally built as a hotel, The Mark was designed in a neo-Italian Renaissance-style by architects, Schwartz and Gross. The fifteen-story structure is faced with red bricks and sits in the shadow of the Carlyle Hotel. Schwartz and Gross also designed The Fitzpatrick Manhattan Hotel and the Surrey Hotel at 20 East 76th St.
The hotel for many years was known as The Mark Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
According to a Mandarin Oriental press release dated January 2, 2006 it sold its 100% leasehold interest in The Mark, New York, for a gross consideration of US$150 million to Izak Senbahar and Simon Elias (Alexico Group). The hotel was originally acquired in 2000 as part of the US$142.5 million acquisition of The Rafael Group.
The hotel closed in 2007 and reopened in August 2009 as a hotel/co-op following a $250+ million makeover with 118 hotel rooms, and 42 co-op apartments. Prices for the co-ops range from $2 million to $60 million.
The hotels penthouse at 9,800 feet contains 5 bedrooms and 4 woodburning fireplaces and is listed for $60 million. Its living room is topped by a copper cupola, part of the original 1926 structure.
The Mark Hotel does not own the land it sits on - the annual land lease payment is $4 million.
Developer of the Mark Hotel, the Alexico Group, brought in chef Jean-George Vongerichten to run the 1st floor restaurant and designer Jacques Grange to reimagine the lobby and create 42 residences. The Alexico Group also developed the Alex Hotel at 205 East 45th Street.
The Alexico Group also operate The Laurel Hotel at 400 East 67th Street and recently bought the Flatotel Hotel on E. 51st St. with plans to turn it into another luxury property
The Real Deal reported in April 2010 that the Alexico Group has scaled back the co-op offerings from 42 units to 10 units due to a lack of demand.
Alexico had borrowed $255 million from Anglo Irish Bank for the project.
In March 2011 Dune Real Estate Partners acquired Anglo Irish Bank's $255 million mortgage loan on the Mark Hotel for $190 million. In june 2011 Dune Real Estate Partners filed to foreclose on loans granted to the Alexico Group's Mark Hotel.
The Irish Times reported the developers Simon Elias and Izak Senbahar of the Alexico Group are suing Anglo Irish Bank for $1 billion in a funding dispute over $500 million of loans that the bank gave to the men to redevelop three Manhattan hotels, the Mark, the Alex and the Flatotel.
