    Written by Simona and Giulia THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME: In 1781 many people, arising from Mexico, left the San Gabriel mission driven by the desire to found a new village in an area near to a river, an area identified by Brother Crespi. This small new "city" is called "the People of Our Lady Queen of the Angels over the Porziuncula of Assisi", and remained so for many years, a small village with few inhabitants. The name, too long, as the city grew and widened, it is "restricted" on the contrary becoming just Los Angeles, or LA. CURIOSITY: Disneyland Disneyland was born in 1955, the theme park in Los Angeles. It is the first theme park built in the world. The park is divided into several thematic areas: Adverntureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. The most important building of the park is the Sleeping Beauty’s Castle. The Museum of Contemporary Art The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, founded in 1979, is the only museum of California, devoted entirely to contemporary art.

  • East Los Angeles Should Not Be Lumped with the Hollywood Hills, Si
    East Los Angeles Should Not Be Lumped with the Hollywood Hills, Si... Subject: East Los Angeles Should Not Be Lumped with the Hollywood Hills, Silver Lake, and Los Feliz! From: Franziska WiƩenstein < Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2011 10:47:52 -0700 To: Commissioners, CiƟzens RedistricƟng Commission 901 P Street, Suite 154-A Sacramento, CA 95814 Commissioners: When you Commissioners were picked, many of us in Los Angeles (and many in the media) were concerned that none of you lived in the City of Los Angeles. We were told not to worry, that you understood the region and would draw fair maps. We’ve also been told, throughout the process, that the era of odd-shaped, gerrymandered districts, featuring odd pairings of communiƟes, were over. Then, in your iniƟal draŌ maps, you proposed a district lumping together the Hollywood Hills, Los Feliz, Silver Lake, and East Los Angeles! To get there, the district lines cross the Los Angeles River and dart around Downtown Los Angeles, making the district as bizarrely shaped as anything the poliƟcians ever drew. It will be extremely difficult for whomever is in elected in that district to represent those communiƟes. Those communiƟes are as different as can be. We, the undersigned, strongly urge you to draw more sensible maps. East Los Angeles (and Lincoln Heights, etc.) should be together with other eastside communiƟes so that residents there can elect a repeƟƟve of their choosing. The communiƟes of Hollywood Hills, Los Feliz, and Silver Lake are not “eastside.” No porƟon of those communiƟes are east of Downtown or east of the Los Angeles River.

  • Three Chumash-Style Pictograph Sites in Fernandeño Territory
    THREE CHUMASH-STYLE PICTOGRAPH SITES IN FERNANDEÑO TERRITORY ALBERT KNIGHT SANTA BARBARA MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY There are three significant archaeology sites in the eastern Simi Hills that have an elaborate polychrome pictograph component. Numerous additional small loci of rock art and major midden deposits that are rich in artifacts also characterize these three sites. One of these sites, the “Burro Flats” site, has the most colorful, elaborate, and well-preserved pictographs in the region south of the Santa Clara River and west of the Los Angeles Basin and the San Fernando Valley. Almost all other painted rock art in this region consists of red-only paintings. During the pre-contact era, the eastern Simi Hills/west San Fernando Valley area was inhabited by a mix of Eastern Coastal Chumash and Fernandeño. The style of the paintings at the three sites (CA-VEN-1072, VEN-149, and LAN-357) is clearly the same as that found in Chumash territory. If the quantity and the quality of rock art are good indicators, then it is probable that these three sites were some of the most important ceremonial sites for the region. An examination of these sites has the potential to help us better understand this area of cultural interaction. This article discusses the polychrome rock art at the Burro Flats site (VEN-1072), the Lake Manor site (VEN-148/149), and the Chatsworth site (LAN-357). All three of these sites are located in rock shelters in the eastern Simi Hills. The Simi Hills are mostly located in southeast Ventura County, although the eastern end is in Los Angeles County (Figure 1).
