To be fair, the manufacturers were responsible for most of them, but the designers had their share.

Even then,, she was a noted transatlantic liner. Later, beginning in the early thirties, she also developed a good reputation on luxury long-distance cruises. Built by Blohm & Voss, Hamburg, Germany, she boasted 21,532 tons and was 609 feet long and 78 feet wide. With B & W diesel engines and twin screws, her service speed was 17 knots. She could carry 1,319 passengers (213 first class and 1,106 tourist class). She served with the Americans during World War II, when she was bought outright and used as the transport U.S.S. John Ericsson, and subsequently worked for the Home Lines under the name of Italia. She had emerged from the war a battered ship, seriously damaged not long before by a fire at her New York pier, and had been eventually sold to Home Lines, which was in desperate need of second-hand passenger ships for its service to Latin America. Following full repairs and alterations, she was rechristened Italia. She entered service between Genoa and S. American ports in July, 1948, but was moved to the N. Atlantic within a year because of a sudden decline in immigration to South America. She consistently earned high profits for the next several years. As jets began to cut into the transatlantic trade, the Italia was one of the first liners withdrawn from that service. She finished her last crossing in 1960. Fully refitted at Genoa, she began a new Home Line service in the Caribbean, which was also very successful. She was decommissioned in April 1964 and had a very brief stint as a hotel ship in the Bahamas. Towed into Bilboa by a Spanish scrap firm on September 8, 1965, the Italia was scrapped within months. One Home Lines official later remarked, ―She was the best ship we ever had. She could do no wrong. She was always profitable and popular.‖ [Reprised from 1995] No. 355 SIERRA-DIABLO BULLETIN-August 2014 Page 5 The Fabulous El Morocco El Morocco (sometimes nicknamed Elmo or Elmer) was a 20th-century Manhattan nightclub frequented by the rich and famous from the 1930s until the decline of cafe society in the late 1950s. It was famous for its blue zebra-stripe motif. In 1931, John Perona (born Eriane Giovanni Perona in Chiaverano in the Province of Turin, Italy), an Italian immigrant, with Martín de Alzaga opened El Morocco as a speakeasy at 154 East 54th Street, on the south side of 54th Street in the middle of the block between Lexington Avenue and Third Avenue, where the Citigroup Center now stands. After prohibition was repealed, it became one of the most popular establishments in New York City. Its regular clientele consisted of fashionable society, politicians, and entertainers. Part of what made the club the 'place to be' was the photographs taken by Jerome Zerbe which were always in the news the next day. Everyone always knew from the background zebra stripes on the banquettes where the celebrities had been. The neighborhood started changing after World War II, and eventually Perona moved El Morocco to a four-storey townhouse at 307 East 54th Street, on the north side of the street near the corner of Second Avenue in 1960. Perona died in 1961, and his son, Edwin took over the proprietorship. Later that year, Edwin Perona sold the club to John Mills, who owned it for three years. It was then owned by Maurice Uchitel (1964–70) and Sheldon Hazeltine. Before taking over El Morocco, Uchitel owned the Eden Roc Hotel in Miami Beach for several years. In 1981, the Second Avenue wing operated briefly as a steakhouse. In 1992, it operated as a topless bar. In 1997, Desmond Wootton bought the property and opened the Night Owls nightclub. The site is now occupied by the Milan Condominium. The nightclub served as the setting for scene in the 1973 film The Way We Were. It became well known for the e x t e n s i v e u s e o f T e r r y ' s C h o c ol at e Orange. And, it was re- created in the 2006 m o t i o n p i c t u r e Infamous. [Wikipedia] No. 355 SIERRA-DIABLO BULLETIN-August 2014 Page 6 An American Tour: 83 San Luis Obispo’s Motel Inn Created in 1925 by Arthur Heineman, the Motel Inn of San Luis Obispo (originally known as the Milestone Mo-Tel) is the first motel in the world. The emergence and popularization of the automobile in the United States of the early 20th century inspired many car owners beyond commuting into town. The poor roads of the era combined with the vehicle speeds and reliability required two or more days of nearly all day driving for 400-mile trips such as Los Angeles to San Francisco. Trips requiring an overnight stay often left travelers looking for places to pitch tent or to sleep in their automobile if arrangements hadn't been made ahead to destinations and stopovers that also happen to have hotels or inns. The lack of niche accommodations to fill the need for automobile travelers who only needed an overnight stay to continue their trip inspired many entrepreneurs. The combination of the convenience of a campground with the comforts and respectability of a hotel or inn spurred the creation of the motel. Arthur S. Heineman picked San Luis Obispo for the first Milestone Mo-Tel as a midpoint location between Los Angeles and San Francisco which took two days of driving on the roads at the time. The motel closed in 1991 and is now owned and being used by the Apple Farm (located next door) as an administrative building. The motel is located at the end of Monterey Street next to the on ramp to U.S. Route 101 in California. Many of the buildings were torn down in 2006, only two fragments of the original buildings exist including the mission style bell tower.

  • Ambler Heights Historic District Cuyahoga County, OH
    USDI/NPS Registration Form 1 Ambler Heights Historic District Cuyahoga County, OH NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET ================================================================== SECTION 7 ================================================================== NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION The Ambler Heights Historic District is an early twentieth century suburban residential development of approximately 73 acres, platted in its current form in 1900. Development began about 1903 and was largely completed by 1927. The District is located mostly in the southwest corner of Cleveland Heights, Ohio, an inner-ring suburb of Cleveland; a small portion of the District is located within the boundaries of the City of Cleveland. It is an example of the successful marketing of “garden city” living to the wealthy during the first stage of the suburbanization of Cleveland. It consists today of 67 original, single-family, architect-designed private homes, one original home which has been converted to use by a retirement community (but continues to be a contributing resource) and 13 non-contributing homes. The original homes and the District are well-preserved and have experienced relatively little alteration since their construction; they therefore may be said to have integrity in terms of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association. The District is located approximately five miles east of downtown Cleveland. It is bounded by Cedar Glen Parkway (north), South Overlook Road (east), North Park Boulevard (south) and Ambleside Road and Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard (west). It is located on the rise of a gradual hill leading from the City of Cleveland at its lower elevation to the various “Heights” suburbs (including Cleveland Heights and Shaker Heights) at its higher elevations; this ledge of land forms the western limits of the Portage escarpment of the Allegheny Mountains.

The Commission has seven members appointed to three-year terms by City Council. Commission activities are funded by the City and supported by staff. Landmark nominations are made by Commission members or by owners seeking designation for their properties. Nominations must be accompanied by thorough research and documentation. After receiving a nomination, the Landmark Commission tours the site and discusses its Landmark eligibility. Properties may be landmarked for their architectural and/or historical significance to the community. Approval of the Planning Commission, as well as Landmark Commission, must be obtained before a property is landmarked. Designated Cleveland Heights Landmarks can be identified by their circular bronze Landmark plaques, often located near the front entry. Owners are expected to keep these valuable resources in good condition so they will remain for future generations. If a Landmark property owner wishes to make exterior alterations to the property, Landmark Commission approval is necessary.

He was a supporter of dictator Rafael Trujillo and was also rumoured to have been a political assassin under his regime. Rubiros made his mark as an international playboy for his jet lifestyle and his legendary sexual prowess with women. Among his five spouses were two of the richest women in the world. Porfirio Rubirosa Ariza was born in San Francisco de Macoros, Dominican Republic, the third and youngest child of a upper-middle-class family. His parents were Pedro Maria Rubirosa and Ana Ariza Almansar. The eldest child was named Ana, and the eldest son was named Cesar. His father, also a womanizer, was once a general of a group of men armed to the head in the mountainous region of Shibao working with the government. Don Pedro became a diplomat and became head of the Dominican Embassy in Paris in 1915 after his stay at St. Thomas.

  • Moma and CREATIVE TIME PRESENT DOUG AITKEN: SLEEPWALKERS
    MoMA AND CREATIVE TIME PRESENT DOUG AITKEN: SLEEPWALKERS Large-Scale Cinematic Installation to Be Projected onto the Facades of The Museum of Modern Art Rhythms and Energies of New York and Its Inhabitants Inspire Major Public Artwork Doug Aitken: sleepwalkers January 16–February 12, 2007 5:00-10:00 p.m. on the exterior of MoMA NEW YORK, January 16, 2007—The Museum of Modern Art and the New York–based public art organization Creative Time present Doug Aitken: sleepwalkers, a major public artwork comprising eight large-scale moving images that will be projected onto the exterior of MoMA, enlivening the building’s architecture with the nocturnal journeys of five characters representing city dwellers—a bicycle messenger, an electrician, a postal worker, a businessman, and an office worker. Conceived by Doug Aitken (American, b. 1968) specifically for the Museum’s broad expanses of glass, steel, and granite, sleepwalkers was inspired by the densely built environment of midtown Manhattan and portrays the metropolis as a living organism fueled by the desires, energies, and ambitions of its inhabitants. Doug Aitken: sleepwalkers will be exhibited each evening from January 16 through February 12, 2007, from 5:00 until 10:00 p.m. and will be viewable from various vantage points around the Museum and in The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden. The Sculpture Garden will be open to the public free of charge during the month of the projections. “New York City is defined by our extraordinary cultural life, which this winter includes Doug Aitken’s dramatic public art project at MoMA, offering New Yorkers one more reason to get out and experience the City,” said Mayor Bloomberg.
