  • Appendix Iv.H.1
    APPENDIX IV.H.1 Historic Resources Evaluation Report, Wilshire Grand Hotel Prepared by Galvin Preservation Associates, May 2010 HISTORIC RESOURCE EVALUATION REPORT WILSHIRE GRAND HOTEL August 2009 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Purpose and Qualifications The purpose of this report is to determine and set forth whether or not a development project (sometimes referred to as the “Project”) will impact historic resources. The project site is located at 930 Wilshire Boulevard in downtown of Los Angeles, and is occupied by the Wilshire Grand Hotel. Constructed in 1952, the Wilshire Grand Hotel is not currently designated a landmark at the national, state, or local levels. Nor has it been previously evaluated as significant in any historic resource surveys. As such, the Wilshire Grand Hotel was evaluated as a historic resource for the first time as part of this report. Teresa Grimes, Laura Vanaskie and Ben Taniguchi of Galvin Preservation Associates were responsible for the preparation of this report, which was submitted to Christopher A. Joseph & Associates. All three preparers fulfill the qualifications for historic preservation professionals outlined in Title 36 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 61. Resumes are attached. 1.2 Methodology In conducting the analysis of potential historic resources and impacts, the following tasks were performed: 1. Conducted a field inspection of the project site and surrounding area to determine the study area and to identify potential historic resources. The study area was identified as the Wilshire Grand Hotel property. 2. Researched the Wilshire Grand Hotel to determine whether or not it is currently listed as a landmark at the national, state, or local levels and whether or not it has been previously evaluated as a historic resource.

    20072007 ANNUALANNUAL REPORTREPORREPO T TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS We continued to demonstrate success in 2007 in executing our strategic plan. We took multiple steps to transform Live Nation into a vertically integrated live music company that directly unites artists, fans and sponsors across all revenue generating products. We are moving ahead to capitalize on our global concert platform as artists look for expanded and new business partners. Reaching an agreement in principle with U2 for a 12-year exclusive partnership is another signifi cant validation that Live Nation is the most attractive option for the biggest artists in the world. Madonna, and now U2, believe in Live Nation and our promising future as a highly innovative music company that is responding quickly to changes in the music business landscape. As a result, we believe Live Nation is a signifi cantly stronger organization, strategically and fi nancially, than only one year ago. Over the next year, we will continue to build on our three core strategies: • Grow our global concert platform internally • Prepare to launch our global ticketing, online business in 2009 • Continue to enter relationships with touring artists for longer and wider product lines centered around our core concert business When we launched Live Nation in December 2005, the company had been declining in overall profi tability for the previous few years. We set out to stop the decline and turn Live Nation into a growth company by running our core business better and by expanding into new revenue streams. In 2007, we set out to do four main things, all of which we achieved – to improve our North American Music operations, grow our International Music platform, launch the Live Nation Artist division and defi ne our Ticketing/ Online future.

  • Museum of History and Holocaust Education Legacy Series Jean Ousley Interview Conducted by Adina Langer January 29, 2018 Transcribed by Adina Langer
    Museum of History and Holocaust Education Legacy Series Jean Ousley Interview Conducted by Adina Langer January 29, 2018 Transcribed by Adina Langer Born in 1945, Jean Ousley met her father for the first time after he returned from service in World War II. Her mother worked at the Kellogg Plant in Battle Creek, Michigan, and then as a welder at a factory in California. As an adult, Ousley led the Georgia chapter of the American Rosie the Riveter Association because of her mother’s contributions to the war effort. Full Transcript Interviewer: Today is January 29, 2018. My name is Adina Langer, and I'm the curator of the Museum of History and Holocaust Education at Kennesaw State University, and I'm here at the Sturgis Library with Jean Ousley. First of all, do you agree to this interview? Ousley: Yes, absolutely. Interviewer: Could you please state your full name? Ousley: Interesting, because I told you I'm Jean, but remember, my story is that I'm Gloria Jean. I was named because my grandmother wanted my name to be Gloria, but then I think my mother was trying to exert her independence, and she never called me Gloria. So Jean is—Gloria Jean Spriggs Ousley. Interviewer: OK. And what's your birthday? Ousley: April 22, 1945. Interviewer: And where were you born? Ousley: I was born in Gainesville in the Hall County Hospital in Gainesville, Georgia. Interviewer: So, before we talk about your childhood, I'd like to go back a bit further and talk about your parents. What were your parents' names? Ousley: My father was Samuel Eldo Spriggs—the middle name kind of unusual—from basically Gwinnett County, Georgia, I guess.
