features Valdez’s oil painting on a 1953 Good Humor ice cream truck portraying the forced removal of a predominantly Mexican American community for the construction of Dodger Stadium in the late 1950s. In 2004, Cooder invited Valdez to collaborate and create a painting to align with his album “Chavez Ravine” (2005), a musical interpretation of the neighborhood’s history. Posing a visual contradiction between the eviction and the ice cream truck, Valdez depicts Dodgers owner Walter O’Malley, former LAPD Chief William H. Parker, J. Edgar Hoover, and displaced families. Shown alongside Valdez’s preparatory materials, 
draws from the style and history of Mexican and American muralism and Chicano car culture. Recently acquired by LACMA, the work is a monument to a disturbing chapter in L.A. history and symbolizes struggles across the country about affordable housing, eminent domain, gentrification, and discrimination.

隔夜凉

I only went to the ordinary paradise, and all kinds of roller coasters still made the two young children aged 18 and 8 very happy. The middle-aged mother likes the adventure of submarines and Star Wars. On the 30th of the New Year, from playing in the park to closing the park, I played almost all my favorite projects.

Santa Monica State Beach

Beaches and shores

Mary_Yao88

Santa Monica Beach, a gem embedded in the California sunshine, caresses the heartstrings of every traveler with its endless charm. It is like a delicate watercolor painting, slowly spreading on the shore of the vast Pacific Ocean. The 3.5-mile golden beach shines warmly and softly in the afterglow of the sunset.
Here, every grain of sand seems to carry a story, and every wave is a whisper of nature. Walking along this romantic coastline, you can feel that time seems to slow down, making people forget the hustle and bustle and indulge in this tranquility and beauty.
Santa Monica Beach is not only a breathtaking landscape painting, but also a paradise full of vitality and fun. From the first ray of sunshine in the morning to the stars in the night, whether it is the passionate challenge of surfers or the dream castles built by children on the beach, they all constitute the unique scenery here.
And the historic Santa Monica Pier, like a kind old man, quietly guards this sea area. When night falls, the bright lights on the Ferris wheel and the starry sky complement each other, as if leading people into a dreamy fairy tale world. Surrounding, the wisdom and tranquility of Chess Park and the grandeur and leisure of Palisades Park add endless cultural heritage and natural charm to this beach.
Santa Monica Beach is a place that makes people yearn for it. It uses beauty and romance to weave the most gentle memories in the hearts of every visitor.

It is very convenient to go to the observatory freely. After getting off at the sunset station of the subway red line, there is a free bus to the observatory at the exit, which is directly sent to the observatory gate. It takes about 20 minutes to drive to the parking lot. It is expensive to go to the observatory. To learn to take the subway, convenient and not traffic jams, Google Maps guides the way accurately, Baidu map is also easy to use...
