•PERSHING SQUARE L.A.
Our FREEDOM PARK
downtown los angeles
One time there was only one place in L.A.
where one could 'speak his mind'.
Nowadays anyone and everyone of all creeds
can be anyway they care to be.

Back then one would get downtown some way
by trolly, bus, car or walking to get to their place of
freedom, and this was not so long ago.
It was not so automatic to address one's ideas, as now.

Remnants from ww1 and ww2 when security was at it's upmost,
people had few areas to express themselves,
something we now expect any day and everywhere.

During World War I, the Square was often the scene for militia
receptions and provided a forum for public speakers.

In November 1918, a week after
Armistice Day ended World War I,
the park was renamed Pershing Square,
in honor of
Gen. John Joseph "Black Jack" Pershing

The park is exactly one square block in size,
bounded by 5th Street to the north, 6th Street
to the south, Hill Street to the east,
and Olive Street to the west.
a square be it... Pershing Square
During these decades up through the sixty's the park was
lined with palm trees and walkways around the perimeter.

A Speakers' Corner is an area
where public speaking is allowed.

The original and most noted is in
the north-east corner of Hyde Park
in London, England.

In the photo at the top you see the palm tree lined
walkways with nearby office buildings in the background,
people enjoying a sunny California day.

In the photo below we see those cement walkways filled
with people on either sides all engaged in many,
yet similar activities, at their 'speakers corners',
freely expressing any views they want.
Here is OUR L.A. HISTORY, that in our modern times,
has always included a place for anyone to 'get up on their soapbox'
and express any views and debate with anyone on any subject.
Obviously NOT IN OUR MODERN TIMES...

PERSHING
SQUARE L.A.
"speaker's corner, your soapbox"
...where did this freedom go ?

Not Just in the Foothills

HERE I WAS driving home from
my tutoring job for the LAUSD...

...and I come upon an interesting site.
I grew up in NoHo and live in
Sunland Tujunga.
When I was young my Mom went to
a butcher at the end of Tujunga Ave
just north of Vanowen St, where
there were RR tracks and landing
zone for 'Lockheed' Airport
with some vacant fields
with old Circus Wagons and horses,
the old days.
Now, while living up here in ST
there are always plenty of horses...

BUT DOWNTOWN L.A. ?
This rider was clip-clopping
up Sunset Blvd near Beaudry St,

you can HEAR and see them riding
with skyscrapers in view.

which brings together Rail Enthusiasts
yearning for the Train Experience.

Fullerton RailRoad Days in

Going to my afternoon tutoring job I saw this brush fire

• Valley Village is in SUNLAND ?

Sunland is in Valley Village ?
WHAT ?? is going on ...

O.K. I DID FIND SOME INFO-

The former Mortuary and recently an Adult Day Care Center,
will be adding space and renovating to be a City run Adult Day
Care Center AND after school for special education students...

I STILL DO NOT KNOW
why the "Valley Village" moniker...

Is this Valley Village
( BY THE WAY, originally NoHo ).

Is that NoHo Park?
Ummmm, No it is Sunland Park.
Then, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN ...

YOU are CONFUSED, me too ?
The building being renovated across
from SUNLAND PARK had been
a Mortuary for many years, and recently was
a small private school.
AND this IS in SUNLAND.

Obviously there is going an
" ACTIVITY CENTER ",
and again,
WHAT IS " THAT " ?

( by the way I have NOT found any info
about this on the internet, yet I see
it is ''4 kids', anyway I'll be on my quest
using the 'phone' to find out more )

@ Mt Gleason Middle School
...EVEN an S-T Model A says NO!

Members of the Sunland-Tujunga
community come to Mt Gleason Middle
School to have a 'dialogue' concerning
the large hardware conglomerate that
is starting construction of one of their
outlets on the Edward's property
originally the Sunland Drive-In.
Having a K Mart Store for years,
when K mart bought out Sears
they divested some of these properties
to Home Depot. While HD pays these
leases, some communities have
RISEN-UP to challenge
the big company's aspirations...
SUNLAND TUJUNGA
being the first to do this.

Here we see locals, like Sheriff Joe B,
and supporters such as Mayor Sam,
MIKE HIGBY & ZUMA DOG.
Toni Guinyard came for KNBC and

NoHo Gallery LA
Video of Opening....
OCTOBER 17 - NOVEMBER 16 2007.................

“The Scream” hallowed out by Edvard Munch is still being heard today;
the missing ear gouged out by Van Gogh is bandaged in his self portrait
but far from concealed by our imagination; the “Freak” photos of
Diane Arbus, haunting her perhaps to end her life even though her
insight lives on - these are a few of many art noir creators, bringing
to light the fact that dark art is indeed enlightening.

NoHo Gallery LA is pleased to present a group showing of “Art Noir”
artists featuring Tara Greer’s paintings & breathtaking triptych oil
tapestries on canvas portraying the evolution of darkness into the light.

Free & Open to the Public

• Jon Lauritzen Community Leader

JON LAURITZEN ( 1938-2007 )

I met John Lauritzen a couple of years ago,
introduced by a good friend at the school district
headquarters on Beaudry in Downtown L.A.
He was very nice and we talked about the subject
there that day, which was the community colleges
efforts towards getting information to students
to be aware of their curriculum.

The next time I saw Mr. Lauritzen was
at the public opening of East Valley High School right
in the middle of NoHo. He spoke wonderfully and
you can see this in the 5 minute short I made to
commemorate the ribbon cutting.
This, now, is in HIS HONOR.
More information on Jon can be found clic ∆ here.

Would William Say 'NoHo'
by Louis Elovitz

" NEVER SAY MACBETH "

Consequences unfold when a man comes to see his actress

girlfriend and has contact with cast members of the said,

I mean 'never said', play by The Bard.

Freak-out occurs when the word is used and all the age

old superstitions come out that thespians have held

for hundreds of years. The film manifests itself with great

cinematographic skills and superior lighting, showing all

the ghosts and the fears that these young people endure

in order to serve their art and exhibit their production.

This is all done in parodistic style. After a quick 101 about

Never Saying that name, the man, a teacher, is drafted

into the play and finds himself at odds with this acting stuff

and the triangle between himself, his girlfriend, and another

actor. From street clothes to the dressing rooms, rehearsals,

to the play itself, with all the Shakespearean overtures to

the Ghosts in the Theater, this film contains all the authenticity

and embraces the essence of the original play itself.

Set to show on the final day of the Valley Film Festival

on Sunday September 16 at 4 p.m.

GOVERNATOR PRODUCES film HERE in ST

.• PUT THE POLITICIAN
ON THE CORNER AND HE
MAKES A MOVIE BY HIMSELF
wb pic click on pic to see trailer more ST shots

Would you believe the corner shown in the pics below
recently had our GOVERNATOR, prior to him being
elected, making a major motion picture right at this
same corner of Foothill and Mt. Gleason?

IT IS TRUE...T 3 Terminator 3 was filmed extensively
in Sunland Tujunga and right at this corner where there
is now this new mini mall.

We saw something being built back then and
said 'oh no another car repair shop?'
Then the rumors, and as you see it is, as in my pics,
the pre production of the movie from sets to before shooting shots.
YOU MUST come back and CLICK on

THERE IS THE SAME
FIRE HYDRANT
AS SEEN IN THE MOVIE.

THIS IS LOS ANGELES AND THE VALLEYS.

Yes, that is
OUR GOVERNATOR in his last epic FILMED in
SUNLAND TUJUNGA, right on the border of the two
cities at Foothill & Mt. Gleason. -TERMINATOR 3 !

• READ THE NAME
OF THIS TOWN IN WALES...
that's in Great Britain.

I remember my friend's dad, Will Sapiro, who
was from Liverpool, England always would sing
a ryhme pronouncing the name of this Welsh
town. He said they would call it ' Lan Fair PG '
for short. I hear Welsh is a very unique language.

So, read above, clic on ∆ pic 2 enlarge, and we now
can refrain from thinking ST is so lonnnng.

Sunland Tujunga & North Hollywood
are the City of Los Angeles,
California in the U.S.A.

We also live in the County of Los Angeles
this is the evil maybe x-logo that has that
G-d reference, and other stuff of the devils.
The County has used for it decades, WHO KNEW?

We can always make fun of ourselves
as with the fake-logo for Kalifoana.
With this neighborhood blog about
these cities with unique
historys and lifestyles,
we will shed some humor
