    R2, R3, R4 Multi-Family Survey Report City of West Hollywood Appendix J: 1986-87 Survey Context, prepared by Johnson Heumann Research Associates Appendices November 2008 ARCHITECTURAL RESOURCES GROUP Architects, Planners & Conservators, Inc. when a small group of citizens formed the West Hollywood Incorporation Committee. By November of that year, studies by the Local Agency Formation Commission confirmed that incorporation was indeed economically feasible. Tenants led by the Coalition for Economic Survival, homeowners concerned with planning issues and the gay community were among the leading advocates of cityhoog. Formal application was made on April 4, 1984. On November 4, 1984, by a 4:1 favorable margin, the voters approved incorporation . One of the new city's first tasks was to begin to draft a General Plan , the land use policy document for the municipality required· by State law. In January of 1985, the city began the process of preparing the Plan, noting that the physical environment, social character and quality of life within the City would be influenced by the General Plan. It was a stated goal to link land use and urban design, emphasizing the relationship between parcels and uses throughout the city. A reduction of density from those outlined in the West Hollywood Community Plan, .---- prepared before incorporated by the County of Los Angeles, was planned. As an i ntegral part of this planning process. the city of West Hollywood applied for c survey grant from the State Off ice of Historic Preservation in November of 1985 . 1.2 DEVELOPMENT HISTORY The area now known as West Hollywood has played a key role in t h e development of Los Angeles County west of Los Angeles .

    West Hollywood, California's Go-To-Guide to the City's Three

    West Hollywood, California’s go-to-guide to the City’s Three Districts The Sunset Strip After decades of notoriety, the Sunset Strip continues to blaze its own path as a world-famous cultural landmark, setting trends in music, hotels, dining and shopping. This most famous stretch of Sunset Boulevard begins and ends in West Hollywood, and like the city it calls home, it is constantly breaking new ground and reinventing itself. Though it’s often been portrayed in movies like Sunset Boulevard, Almost Famous and Rock of Ages, visitors say that nothing compares to seeing the Sunset Strip up close and in person. Bordered on the west by Beverly Hills and on the east by Hollywood, this iconic 1.5 mile stretch of Sunset Boulevard features an array of world-class hotels, nightclubs, restaurants, shops and spas. Through the years, the Sunset Strip has seen it all, starting with the seedy glitz of the 1920s, when Prohibition fueled the rise of nightclubs and speakeasies. Because West Hollywood was not yet an incorporated city, this strip of Sunset Boulevard was lightly policed, making the Strip the perfect playground for the rebellious denizens of early Hollywood. By the 1940s, swanky nightclubs like Ciro’s, Trocadero and Mocambo reigned supreme, attracting A-list celebrity clientele like Marilyn Monroe along with less savory characters like gangster Bugsy Siegel, who called the Strip his stomping grounds. In the 1960s, the Sunset Strip became the major gathering place for the counterculture movement in Los Angeles. Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison were fixtures of the Strip and the surrounding West Hollywood landscape.

  • Frank's World

    Frank's World

    Chris Rojek / Frank Sinatra Final Proof 9.7.2004 10:22pm page 7 one FRANK’S WORLD Frank Sinatra was a World War One baby, born in 1915.1 He became a popular music phenomenon during the Second World War. By his own account, audiences adopted and idol- ized him then not merely as an innovative and accomplished vocalist – his first popular sobriquet was ‘‘the Voice’’ – but also as an appealing symbolic surrogate for American troops fighting abroad. In the late 1940s his career suffered a precipitous de- cline. There were four reasons for this. First, the public perception of Sinatra as a family man devoted to his wife, Nancy, and their children, Nancy, Frank Jr and Tina, was tarnished by his high-octane affair with the film star Ava Gardner. The public face of callow charm and steadfast moral virtue that Sinatra and his publicist George Evans concocted during his elevation to celebrity was damaged by his admitted adultery. Sinatra’s reputation for possessing a violent temper – he punched the gossip columnist Lee Mortimer at Ciro’s night- club2 and took to throwing tantrums and hurling abuse at other reporters when the line of questioning took a turn he disap- proved of – became a public issue at this time. Second, servicemen were understandably resentful of Sina- tra’s celebrity status. They regarded it as having been easily achieved while they fought, and their comrades died, overseas. Some members of the media stirred the pot by insinuating that Sinatra pulled strings to avoid the draft. During the war, like most entertainers, Sinatra made a virtue of his patriotism in his stage act and music/film output.

Mora © Christina D. Abreu 2012 For my parents. ii Acknowledgments Not a single word of this dissertation would have made it to paper without the support of an incredible community of teachers, mentors, colleagues, and friends at the University of Michigan. I am forever grateful to my dissertation committee: Jesse Hoffnung-Garskof, Richard Turits, Yeidy Rivero, and Anthony Mora. Jesse, your careful and critical reading of my chapters challenged me to think more critically and to write with more precision and clarity. From very early on, you treated me as a peer and have always helped put things – from preliminary exams and research plans to the ups and downs of the job market – in perspective. Your advice and example has made me a better writer and a better historian, and for that I thank you. Richard, your confidence in my work has been a constant source of encouragement. Thank you for helping me to realize that I had something important to say. Yeidy, your willingness to join my dissertation committee before you even arrived on campus says a great deal about your intellectual generosity. ¡Mil Gracias! Anthony, watching you in the classroom and interact with students offered me an opportunity to see a great teacher in action.

    Art Phillips Music Design PO Box 219 Balmain NSW 2041 Tel: +61 2 9810-6611 Fax: +61 2 9810-6511 Cell: +61 (0) 407 225 811 ART PHILLIPS – memories from “CHITARRE ACUSTICHE D’ITALIA” Each of the songs included in “ Chitarre Acustiche d’Italia ” have been an important element for the music career of the two-time Emmy and APRA awarded artist composer Art Phillips (Arturo Di FIlippo). The Italian heritage of his father and grandfather and their love for music, drove Art into the music scene and inspired him to create, after more than 30 years of global success, a tribute album like this. This album is the story of Italian family memories and traditions. Below, Art Phillips explains the feelings and memories related to each track contained on the album. 1. Tra Veglia e Sonno (Between Wakefulness and Sleep) A piece I learnt from my father and grandfather in my very early years. They would play this every time they got together in my grandfathers kitchen with their guitar and mandolin, where live music would be an important part in our family life. Grandpa lived just around the corner from my home where our backyards connected, in fact he was also a carpenter and brick mason and built our home as well as all the other homes located around our block. Most of his children lived next door or just around the corner with connecting back yards. We would visit my grandpa and grandma each and every day, and there would not be many days in passing that my guitar wouldn’t join into the family’s musical moments.

August 11, 1915; d. July 2, 2006) was born in Rochester, NY. He graduated from the University of Rochester in 1937 with distinction with a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics; he was also elected to the academic honors society Phi Beta Kappa. In 1941, he moved to Washington, DC, to work in the Army Ordnance Division of the War Department as a research analyst. He left that position in 1954 to restore a house he purchased in Georgetown. Subsequently, in 1956, he joined the National Automobile Dealers Association as a research analyst and worked there until his retirement in 1972. He was an avid musician and concert-goer: he was a talented pianist, and he composed music throughout his life.
