Chinatown is generous with information. There are many stanchions like this one. They are difficult to read while standing in the sun. I've transcribed this one:
Victorian Remains
The houses at 411 and 415 Bernard Street—today home to the Chinese Historical Society of Southern California and Chinatown heritage and Visitors Center—were once part of a three-home complex built by Philip Fritz. An immigrant from Alsace, Fritz worked first as a carpenter then as superintendent of buildings and bridges for the Southern Pacific Railroad. (The original grant deed for the property was held by Jean Bernard, a native of French Switzerland, who owned a nearby brickyard. The street on which these houses sit still bears his name.) In 1886, Fritz built his first home on the property. As his family grew, he added two more in 1888 and 1892. In the 1930’s when the street was widened to make way for a freeway onramp, two of the houses were moved back fifteen feet. The third house was relocated to the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Normandie Avenue, where it became a part of a demonstration housing modernization program sponsored by the Los Angeles Times and the Federal Housing Administration. Louise Fritz Whiting lived in one of the houses her grandfather built on Bernard St. until her death in 1992 at age 100.

Looking for Lincoln
This exhibit was made possible through a generous gift from: The City of Danville
Lincoln's Danville Friends
The center of town, during the time of Lincoln's years in Danville, was located in a range from Franklin Street in the west, to Washington Street in the east, bordered by Harrison Street in the north and Water Street to the south. The map at left shows the following locations, represented by either a photograph of the friend or the building: (1) Oliver Davis Home, North Vermillion Street; (2) First Presbyterian Church, North Street; (3) Rev. Enoch Kingsbury Home, South Walnut Street; (4) Lincoln Hall, West Main Street; (5) Oscar F. Harmon Home, East Main Street.
Not All of Abraham Lincoln's Time Was Spent on Legal Business
When in Danville. He visited his friend Oliver L. Davis in his home on Vermillion Street. They were associated in several court cases. Davis was a floor manager at the Chicago convention when Lincoln was nominated for the Presidency. Lincoln attended Father Enoch Kingsbury's Presbyterian Church on North Street and visited in his home. Here he found a stereopticon quite interesting. He appointed Kingsbury postmaster when elected President. Lincoln whiled away hours in Doctor Woodbury's drug store on Main Street. He lounged on the counter and entertained everyone with his stories. He purchased books at the store, including the "funny book" of the day titled Phoenixiana. Woodbury built a large building in 1857 and named it Lincoln Hall. When he learned the name of the building, Lincoln was a little "embarrassed" and told Woodbury he hoped he had better luck with the building than a friend did with a dog named in his honor. He said, "After the dog's name was changed to Lincoln, he got licked in every fight he was in."
Lincoln and Oscar F. Harmon
Were involved in a number of court cases together. Lincoln was his mentor when the young lawyer was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives. Lincoln visited in the Harmon home on Main Street and became acquainted with the entire family. Oscar's wife, Elizabeth, recalled an instance when Lincoln requested her daughter to play piano. While she played, the other guests became so noisy that the young girl stopped. Lincoln, standing by the piano, told her, " Go on, my child, don't mind those other fellows, I', listening to you." Oscar F. Harmon was killed during the Civil War at the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain. Lincoln did all he could to assist the family following the Colonel's death. When Lincoln was assassinated, a lock of his hair was given by his family to Elizabeth Harmon.
Season of Generosity Event on Saturday, November 3, 2018.
This year during the First Baptist Church of Elkhart's
Season of Generosity, they decided instead of funding
a worthy cause, they would give of themselves; they wanted
to do something to help the community. They chose to give service to the Town of Bristol
by cleaning gravestones and raking leaves at Bristol's Oak Ridge Cemetery.
Bristol Town Manager Michael Mitchell wrote: "Fantastic morning with dozens
of volunteers. Thank you so much for your time and energy to make Bristol
a great community. It was an honor to work with such caring people."

Two generous and silky, hardly cooked, filets of ocean trout topped with shredded cucumbers. The two filets sit on an unctuous pita puree and cruncy falafel spiced-crumbles. The french fry-like sticks in the back are made of tomatos and chickpeas. ($29)
Notes: This course was as much about texture as it was about flavor. The ocean trout was barely cooked - in fact, I suspect it had been sous vide (but it's technically illegal right now in NYC). The fish was impossibly silky - it had the consistancy of slightly cured fish. Wonderful.
The tomato-chickpea fries were kind of mushy and awful, consistency-wise. The pita puree as well had a baby-food-like quality - although the flavor, especially with the crispy crouton-like falafel-spiced crumbles was quite nice.
Taste: All very Middle-Eastern flavors: smoky, spicy, musky...
The convent dates back to the 16 century, 1570 to be exact. lt was built by order of Viscount Antonio Balsamo who financed its construction. Later on it was restructured and enriched thanks to the generosity of the Ruffo family. The convent has retained its origina! architecture with windows in the cells stoke - hole shaped, according to the specification of the most ancient capuchin constructions. The door and window jambs are in sandstone. Many friars lived in the convent in the l7th century, so a second floor was built. On a wall of the staircase there is a fresco by Friar Feliciano Guarcena from Messina (16 10-1663) “the Guardian Angel”. Friar Feliciano was called “the Raphael of the Capuchins” because he imitated so superbly the art of the great Italian painter. From the convent there are great views of Motta Camastra, the nearby town, where many scenes of the first Godfather movie where filmed, the Alcantara Valley and the sea of Giardini - Naxos. Jus around the territory of the convent, lune 20, 1719 the Spanish and Austrian armies fought the greatest baule of contemporary Sicily. The deads of the two arniies were more than 15.000. A museum of the Franciscan testimony is open on the ground floor. It is the religious piace with the most interesting works of art in the Alcantara Valley.“The stigmata ofSaint Francis”, of the l6th century. The unknown author follows the pictorial art of Giotto.“Annunciation of the Fle,nish School”. A canvas with a Sicilian theme. The Sicilitude is easly gathered from the expression of the protagonists in the painting.“Ecce homo”. A canvas well preserved. Tt is the work of Friar Sebastiano da Gratteri who, as written on the upper part of the painting, brought on canvas a vision he had while saying mass. He was the fifth capuchin in Siciiy. Died at the end of the 16 century. He made his colors with herbs and pounded bricks. Altar - piece with “Madonna andAngels musicians”. This canvas dates back to the 17 century. It is the work of two different painters.
Al centro geografico della Valle d’Alcantara, incastonato come un diadema tra l’Etna e i Peloritani, sorge dal 1570 il Convento dei Cappuccini. Qui, arte, storia, cultura si sono date convegno. Frati pittori, scultori, ebanisti hanno fatto a gara, attraverso i secoli, ad impreziosirlo con il loro contributo. La storia contemporanea ricorda la più importante battaglia di Sicilia tra Spagna ed Austria (1719). La cultura, che si esprime nella memoria filtrata dalla testimonianza francescana, trova nella chiesa e nell’attiguo museo la sua più alta espressione.Il messaggio francescano di povertà e umiltà si avverte e si coglie nelle cellette piccole e anguste con le finestre a “bocca di forno”, nel decoro della chiesetta, semplice, ma affascinante, nel clima di pace che ad ogni passo si respira. Dopo quattro secoli e mezzo, visitare il Convento dei Cappuccini a Francavilla è gustare il sapore del piccolo mondo antico, è rituffarsi nella genuina spiritualità francescana, intessuta di umiltà e semplicità, è un ripensamento spirituale che spinge alla riflessione. Nella corsa affannata della vita è un’oasi di riposo. Pellegrini e turisti qui si riversano, attratti dal messaggio francescano di “Pace e Bene”. Al primo impatto la benedizione di S. Francesco rasserena l’anima e la ricompone con Dio e i fratelli.
I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid,
and doors will open
where you didn't know they were going to be.
If you follow your bliss,
doors will open for you that wouldn't have opened for anyone else.

A romantic & generous prince presents his beloved Princess with a gift -- a beautiful key set with a light pink diamond. He takes her by the hand and leads her to a richly ornamented wall cabinet. With delight she realizes that there is more to the gift than just the key. She opens the padlock and sees shelves with a miniature crystal chandelier, a glass rose, a bottle of Enchanted elixir perfume, and a Russian doll.
She picks up the larger Russian doll and opens it, eager to find layers of progressively smaller dolls inside. Instead, inside there is a sparkling enchanted doll, decorated from head to toe in diamonds & precious gems. She beams at her prince, at a loss for words, to describe her gratitude for such a masterpiece.
The prince has one little surprise left -- inside the small Russian doll is a heart shaped diamond pendant set with a rare, natural Australian Argyle pink diamond with the coveted grade of 'Fancy Purplish Red'. (This little treasure weighs less than half a carat & is valued at over half a million dollars.)
The princess is absolutely thrilled by these extravagant gifts -- especially adoring the pendant and the stunning Enchanted doll.

A New Space For Music
Designed by architect Frank Gehry, Walt Disney Concert Hall, new home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, is designed to be one of the most acoustically sophisticated concert halls in the world, providing both visual and aural intimacy for an unparalleled musical experience.
Through the vision and generosity of Lillian Disney, the Disney family, and many other individual and corporate donors, the city will enjoy one of the finest concert halls in the world, as well as an internationally recognized architectural landmark.
From the stainless steel curves of its striking exterior to the state-of-the-art acoustics of the hardwood-paneled main auditorium, the 3.6-acre complex embodies the unique energy and creative spirit of the city of Los Angeles and its orchestra.
The Vision
In 1987, the late Lillian Disney made an initial gift of $50 million to build a world-class performance venue as a gift to the people of Los Angeles and a tribute to Walt Disney's devotion to the arts. Since then, other gifts and accumulated interest bring the Disney family's total contribution to over $100 million. The County of Los Angeles agreed to provide the land and significant additional funding to finance Walt Disney Concert Hall's six-level subterranean parking garage.
Frank GehryFrank Gehry
In 1988, renowned architect Frank Gehry was selected to design the complex, whose final shape he unveiled in 1991. The County initiated construction of the parking garage in 1992, completing it in 1996. Construction on the Concert Hall itself began in November 1999. Also that year, the Music Center launched a capital campaign to complete the construction funding. Many corporate, foundation, and individual partners, along with the State of California, have contributed generously to the campaign due to the remarkable leadership of Andrea L. Van de Kamp, Chairman of the Music Center, Eli Broad, Chairman of SunAmerica, Inc., and former Los Angeles Mayor Richard J. Riordan. The Los Angeles Philharmonic provided additional funding for the core project and full funding for the Los Angeles Philharmonic Center.
