Make That Hollywood Art Park

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:34:28 GMT

If your new multi-service micro-village live work play lifestyle campus urban real estate development doesn’t have a mural program, is it even really happening? Well Hollywood Park wasn’t about to take that chance. Since the inception of its reimagining as a 300-acre hub that includes SoFi Stadium and the YouTube Theater along with residential, commercial, service, cultural, and hospitality enterprises, Hollywood Park has put a lot of focus on how visual art could be featured as part of its architecture, atmosphere, and perhaps most importantly, its relationship to both the community that surrounds it and the one they hope to create.As the project moves inexorably towards its full opening and the indelible transformation of Inglewood forever, the art program—which began assembling in 2022—has continued to expand, with its latest phase adding outdoor murals by Jocelyn Tsaih and Amir H. Fallah and sculptures by Alison Saar. They join large-scale works already in place by painter...

Wildfires, other ravages jeopardize California’s prized forests

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:34:28 GMT

By BRIAN MELLEY | Associated PressKYBURZ, Calif. — On a steep mountainside where walls of flames torched the forest on their way toward Lake Tahoe in 2021, blackened trees stand in silhouette against a gray sky.“If you can find a live tree, point to it,” Hugh Safford, an environmental science and policy researcher at the University of California, Davis, said touring damage from the Caldor Fire, one of the past decade’s many massive blazes.Dead pines, firs, and cedars stretch as far as the eye can see. Fire burned so hot that soil was still barren in places more than a year later. Granite boulders were charred and flaked from the inferno. Long, narrow indentations marked the graves of fallen logs that vanished in smoke.Damage in this area of Eldorado National Forest could be permanent — part of a troubling pattern that threatens a defining characteristic of the Sierra Nevada range John Muir once called a “waving sea of evergreens.”Forest like this is disappearing as increasingly inte...

‘I killed him,’ an East Bay man told police. Here’s why a jury acquitted him

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:34:28 GMT

OAKLAND — As far as confessions go, James Richards’ statement to police couldn’t have been crisper.“I killed that man. The one they tried to arrest me for,” Richards told a group of California Highway Patrol officers who had detained him in August 2020. “I killed him. I, James Richards, confess to the f—in’ murder they tried to arrest me for.”In murder investigations, a confession of that clarity is usually a guarantee for a guilty verdict or a no contest plea. But Richards’ case was far from it. At the end of his trial this month, an Alameda County jury acquitted him of murder, allowing Richards — who’d been in jail awaiting trial for three years — to walk away a free man.How did such a confession lead to a not guilty verdict? Richards’ lawyer, William Welch, argued to jurors that his client was hallucinating and panicking when he gave the statement, literally screaming for someone to call the polic...

Marin County working to create shoreline resiliency plan to protect from sea level rise

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:34:28 GMT

(BCN) -- Marin County could see its entire shoreline flooded during an extreme storm before the end of the century unless coordinated measures are taken to address sea level rise in the Bay Area.As part of a state-mandated effort to create a shoreline resiliency plan, the county Board of Supervisors got a glimpse Tuesday of what the consequences of inaction could be if efforts are not made to protect the shoreline from rising sea levels.The board received a report from the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission, known as BCDC, a regional state regulatory body that has created a regional strategy dubbed "Bay Adapt" to coordinate the mitigation efforts.Two websites were introduced at the meeting that can keep the public informed about the planning process, bayadapt.org and adaptingtorisingtides.org.Sea levels along the United States coastline are projected to rise by between 10-12 inches by 2050, matching the amount of sea level rise from 1920-2020, and rise by as m...
