Baby Boomers Tribute Jungleland USA 1929-69 Thousand Oaks So Cal
Baby Boomers Tribute Jungleland USA 1929-69 Thousand Oaks So Cal
Jungleland USA was a private zoo, animal training facility, and animal theme park in Thousand Oaks, California, United States, on the current site of the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza. At its peak the facility encompassed 170 acres (69 ha).
Louis Goebel created Jungleland in 1926 as a support facility for Hollywood. He had been employed at Universal Studios when the studio decided to close its animal facility. Five of the Universal Studio lions formed the nucleus of Goebel's collection. The facility was originally called Goebel's Lion Farm. Soon a wide variety of exotic animals were obtained, trained, and rented to the studios for use in films. The facility later became a theme park, opened to the public in 1929. Wild animal shows entertained thousands in the 1940s and 1950s. Mabel Stark, the lady lion tamer, was featured in these shows; she also doubled for Mae West in the lion-taming scenes in the 1933 film I'm No Angel. The zoo's residents included Leo the Lion, mascot of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio Mister Ed, the talking horse from the television show of the same name; Bimbo the elephant from the Circus Boy television series; and Tamba the chimpanzee, featured in the Jungle Jim movies and television series.
Many TV and movie productions used the park's trained animals, and many productions were filmed there, including Birth of a Nation, Tarzan, Doctor Dolittle, and The Adventures of Robin Hood. It was also featured prominently in an episode of the television show Route 66 (Season 2, Episode 30, A Feat of Strength) which aired May 18, 1962.
The park made headlines in 1966 when a male lion at the compound mauled the young son of actress Jayne Mansfield. A barn fire in 1940 killed 12 of the animals including tigers, camels and elephants.
Jungleland closed in October 1969, because of competition from other Southern California amusement parks, and because the facility didn't blend in with the increasingly urban character of Thousand Oaks. The company which owned the facilities declared bankruptcy and sold all the movable property at auction: animals, buildings, trucks, furniture and supplies. Goebel retained ownership of the land, which was eventually sold to the city to create the Civic Arts Plaza and other developments.
American Baby Boomer by Lucas Carter
This book is the story about one individual who was born and grew up as a baby boomer in the United States. It begins by introducing his parents, who are Norwegian and grew up in Canada. They move to the United States, and soon after, Michael Larsen is born in California. The book begins by following Michael’s life from birth through high school and speaks to situations and events that happened in his personal life during that period. It also addresses actual world and national events as they happened in real time. The story progresses through his life as a soldier in the army and being sent to Vietnam. Once home from the war, he goes to college at Fresno State, meeting new friends, falling in love, and marrying. Family situations, jobs, social status, and political views continue to change as Michael ages and steps into changing technology, ever-increasing unrest throughout the world, and the new age of terrorism. The book ends with Michael retiring and reflecting on his life’s accomplishments and regrets as he enters the winter of his life. This book chronicles one person’s story of growing up in the generation known as baby boomers. There are seventy-five million other stories still untold; this is just one.

Baby Boomers Tribute RKO Encino Ranch 1929-54 So Cal San Fernando Valley
Baby Boomers Tribute RKO Encino Ranch 1929-54 So Cal San Fernando Valley
RKO 'Encino Ranch'
The RKO Pictures Encino Ranch consisted of 89 acres located on the outskirts of the City of Encino, California, in the San Fernando Valley, near Los Angeles River and west of Sepulveda Basin Recreation Area on Burbank Boulevard. RKO Radio Pictures purchased this property as a location to film their epic motion picture Cimarron (1931), (winner of four Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Writing, Best Art Direction, and Best Make-Up). Art Director Max Ree won an Oscar for his creative design of the very first theme sets constructed on the movie ranch which consisted of a complete western town and a three block modern main street built as the Oklahoma (fictional) town of Osage.
In addition to Cimarron scenery, RKO continued to create a vast array of diverse sets for their ever expanding movie ranch that included a New York avenue, brownstone street, English row houses, slum district, small town square, residential neighborhood, three working train depots, mansion estate, New England farm, western ranch, a mammoth medieval City of Paris, European marketplace, Russian village, Yukon mining camp, ocean tank with sky backdrop, Moorish casbah, Mexican outpost, Sahara Desert fort, plaster mountain range diorama, and a football field sized United States map on which Fred Astair and Ginger Rogers danced across in The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle (1939) Also available were scene docks, carpentry shop, prop storage, greenhouse, and three fully equipped soundstages with an average of over 11,000 square feet each.
A short list of classic movies that contain scenes shot on the RKO Pictures Encino Ranch would include What Price Hollywood? (1932), King Kong (1933), Of Human Bondage (1934), Becky Sharp (1935), Walking on Air (1936), Stage Door (1937), Kitty Foyle (1940), Citizen Kane (1941), Cat People (1942), Murder, My Sweet (1944), Dick Tracy film noir series (1945-1947), They Live by Night (1948), and many more.
In 1953 Dragnet was the last project to film on the ranch for an NBC 1954 broadcast of an episode entitled The Big Producer in which the crumbling lot played the part of a fictitious Westside Studio. Standing sets exhibited on this particular Dragnet program were a cocktail lounge on modern street, a ranch entry gate with a church and house facades ('George Bailey' wrecked his car there during a snow storm in It's a Wonderful Life 1946), plaster desert mountain range, ocean tank & sky backdrop used for Sinbad the Sailor (1947), Notre Dame de Paris Carre built for The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939), and (the very first sets ever built on the ranch) the award winning western town from Cimarron (1931).
After all those unique themed sets were bulldozed under in 1954, the 'Encino Village' subdivision was built on the property with modern home designs by architect Martin Stern, Jr..

US Post World War II Boom - The American Dream - Conformity - Boomers, Teen Agers - Urban Sprawl
Bill Levitt and the American Dream
Read:
America also had this incredible economic abundance. We hadn't been hit by the war; our cities hadn't been pillaged, our cities hadn't been bombed. We had this tremendous surge of economic prosperity that began in 1941 and '42. And the GI Bill fed right into the mood of economic prosperity.
It was a bonanza, a social bonanza, one of the most important pieces of social legislation of the mid-20th century. It gave GIs the opportunity to do two things. It gave them money for education; it also provided money for down payments on homes. And they all wanted to marry, have children, and get into a decent American home.
The problem was, there was a terrible shortage of housing for returning veterans.
Bill Levitt: We believe that every family in the United States is entitled to decent shelter. We believe that private enterprise should provide that shelter insofar as it can...
Bill Levitt was an amazing character. He's kind of the Henry Ford of the middle of the 20th century. Where Ford mass-produced Model T cars, Levitt mass-produced homes. And as a veteran, during World War II a sea-bee, building air bases out on the Pacific, Levitt came up with his dream of building an idyllic community for lower-middle-class, striving, upward-bound American GIs, who he knew would come out of the war with some opportunity, with the GI Bill. And he was there to take advantage of it.
So what Levitt does is he goes out to Long Island, on a stretch of potato fields, and he builds his ideal community. By the time it was finished, he had a complete community, 80,000 people, about 17-18,000 houses. And the key thing with these houses is they were inexpensive, and they were well built.
They were sturdy like the old Model T Fords and they even were produced like the Model T Fords. They were mass-produced. Levitt broke down the whole process, as Adam Smith would do with the division of labor, and he broke down the building process into 27 components. And he trained a team to do each component.
These are the 36 men who built this house. Another day, another 40 houses. He even had one team that did nothing but bolt washing machines into the floor. He didn't build foundations, so that saved a lot of the costs.
When the house was up it cost around eight thousand dollars, and all you needed for a down payment was about ninety dollars. And Levitt threw in a free television set and washing machine. So this was perfect. And this is the real beginning of true suburbanization.
It all emerges, almost eureka-like, suddenly in the early 1950s. There was just this explosion of suburban growth. There were a legion of books being produced in the 1950s that attacked the homogenization and blandness of suburbia; bland people living in bland houses led by bland presidents like Eisenhower. But to Americans at that time who lived in places like Levittown, this was a great step upward.
It was a realization of the American dream. That if you worked hard, you could make it, and you could provide security for your family through a home. There was the expectation of that.
Eisenhower and the Cold War
In 1952, Eisenhower is elected president, and in a sense, becomes the perfect American President for the 1950s. Here was the great war hero, the general who commanded the troops at D-Day, the Supreme Allied Commander. And for a lot of Americans he's the perfect President, because this is an age when people don't want to tamper with too much, when reform goes off the agenda.
And he's also building deterrence to the Soviet Union. This was the beginning of the Cold War, an ideological war against a common enemy, international Communism. All Americans are united in the fact that the outside menace is Communism, godless Communism.
And see how it spreads. Some areas were gobbled up; some became Russian-dominated satellites. In Europe, and in Asia...
And you have to understand Communism is not just a military threat. This is a system that is antithetical to everything Americans hold dear. All right, we come out of the war; we're a tremendously prosperous nation. What's the root of that prosperity? Capitalism.
Communism threatens that. We're a God-fearing country. What does Communism stand for? Godlessness, okay.
So all the things that America was, an upwardly advancing, mobile, competitive, God-fearing, capitalist society, Russia isn't. And I think it's that feeling that we're being faced by that common threat that brings Americans together and creates this orthodoxy, homogeneity, tribalism, whatever you want to call it. And it's a glue that holds the culture together pretty strongly. And it can be in a sense pretty stifling for a lot of people, especially young people.

Here's How Much Climate Disasters Cost the U.S. in 2019 | NowThis
Climate disasters cost the U.S. $45 BILLION in damages last year.

In US news and current events today, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released their assessment of 2019’s major climate events in early January. Each of the 14 weather events exceeded $1B in damage. These disasters included the Kincade Fire in Sonoma County, CA, flooding in the midwest, Hurricane Dorian, Tropical Storm Imelda, and tornadoes in Texas.
Overall, climate disasters cost the U.S. $45 billion in damages in 2019. These instances of extreme weather also resulted in the deaths of 44 people 2019 was the 5th consecutive year in which more than 10 billion-dollar disasters occurred. Between 2015 and 2019, extreme weather cost the U.S. more than $525 billion.
NOAA and NASA released a joint report on January 15 saying 2015-2019 were the warmest five years on record. The organizations started tracking the data in 1880 and say this data provides evidence of Earth’s rising temperatures.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) says the rising temperatures are likely to lead to more weather disasters around the globe. Already in 2020, bushfires have ravaged the Australian continent, burning more than 15 million acres and covering more than 70% of the country in smoke. Scientists say warming can create dry conditions, which exacerbates droughts and raises the risk of wildfires. In California, residents have seen a fivefold increase in burned areas since 1972.
2019 was the warmest year on record for states for both Georgia and North Carolina while Florida, South Carolina, and Virginia each had their 2nd warmest year on record.
2019 was also the 2nd wettest year on record, with record rainfall in the Northern Plains, Great Lakes, and portions of the Central Plains. Heavy rainfall is one of many factors which increases potential for floods. In 2019, nearly half the total U.S. climate disaster costs, was due to flooding in Missouri, Arkansas, and Mississippi. The planet warming is caused in part by our reliance on fossil fuels, which puts excess carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
The UN climate report has called for action, stating that carbon emissions must be 45% less than 2010 levels in order to avoid more catastrophic effects of the climate crisis.

Baby Boomers Tribute The Glory of Kodachrome 1935-2009 So Cal San Fernando Valley 1950's-60's
Baby Boomers Tribute The Glory of Kodachrome 1935-2009 So Cal San Fernando Valley
Kodachrome is a brand name for a non-substantive, color reversal film introduced by Eastman Kodak in 1935. It was one of the first successful color materials and was used for both cinematography and still photography. Because of its complex processing requirements, the film was sold process-paid in the United States until 1954 when a legal ruling prohibited this. Elsewhere, this arrangement continued. Kodachrome was the subject of a Paul Simon song and a US state park was named after it. For many years it was used for professional color photography, especially for images intended for publication in print media. Because of the uptake of alternative photographic materials, its complex processing requirements, and the widespread transition to digital photography, Kodachrome lost its market share, its manufacturing was discontinued in 2009 and its processing ended in 2010.

Nikki's World- Historic Devil's slide, Old Stagecoach Road Chatsworth CA
The Old Santa Susana Stage Road, or Santa Susana Wagon Road, is a route taken by early travelers between the San Fernando Valley and Simi Valley near Chatsworth, California, via the Santa Susana Pass. The main route climbs through what is now the Santa Susana Pass State Historic Park,
with a branch in Chatsworth Park South.
It was an important artery linking the Los Angeles Basin and inland Ventura County and as such, was part of the main route for travel by stagecoach between Los Angeles and San Francisco from 1861 until the opening of rail traffic between the cities in 1876. The Old Santa Susana Stage Road is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Part of the stage road is also a Historic-Cultural Monument of Ventura County and of the City of Los Angeles under the name Old Stagecoach Trail.
The most frightening portion of the road is on the Los Angeles County side of the mountain range, about two miles west of Chatsworth Park and was known as The Devil's Slide.
