The Aloha Tower is a lighthouse that is considered one of the premier landmarks of the state of Hawaii in the United States. Opened on September 11, 1926, the Aloha Tower is located at Pier 9 of Honolulu Harbor. It has and continues to be a guiding beacon welcoming vessels to the City and County of Honolulu. Just as the Statue of Liberty greeted hundreds of thousands of immigrants each year to New York City, the Aloha Tower greeted hundreds of thousands of immigrants to Honolulu. At 10 stories and 184 feet (56 m) of height topped with 40 feet (12 m) of flag mast, for four decades the Aloha Tower was the tallest structure in Hawaii. It was built in the Hawaiian Gothic architectural style.]]>

The Dunbar Hotel

By: neotrix
@ 2009-09-14 10:21:44
The Dunbar Hotel, originally known as the Hotel Somerville, was the focal point of the Central Avenue African-American community in Los Angeles, California during the 1930s and 1940s. Built in 1928, it was known for its first year as the Hotel Somerville. Upon its opening, it hosted the first national convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) to be held in the western United States. In 1930, the hotel was renamed the Dunbar, and it became the most prestigious hotel in LA's African-American community. In the early 1930s, a nightclub opened at the Dunbar, and it became the center of the Central Avenue jazz scene in the 1930s and 1940s. The Dunbar hosted Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Lionel Hampton, Count Basie, Lena Horne and many other jazz legends. Other noteworthy people who stayed at the Dunbar include W. E. B. Du Bois, Joe Louis, Ray Charles and Thurgood Marshall. Former heavyweight champion Jack Johnson also ran a nightclub at the Dunbar in the 1930s.

In October 2008, the Dunbar Hotel is no longer a hotel, and currently has 32 residents living in its 73 apartments. Due to nonpayment of taxes, the building is likely to be foreclosed into City of Los Angeles ownership.]]>

Situated in the middle of Seneca State Park and the middle of the Greenway Trail, Black Rock Mill is a good place to start exploring. Unlike the northern end of the park and the trail, there are hardly any developed amenities for many miles in either direction of Black Rock Mill. Lake Clopper is over 5 miles north. The Visitor Center there is 6.2 miles distant. The C&O Canal, in the other direction, is 7.2 miles south. Other than bridges, and a few road crossings, there’s not much else made by man in-between. Running or hiking the trail definitely gives you a feeling of being out in the country. ]]>

This gigantic buffalo, the World's Largest, resides on top of a hill next to the city of Jamestown, North Dakota. Built on the edge of a reconstructed old west frontier village, the giant buffalo monument has been delighting motorists on I-94 since 1959 - making it the grand daddy of all colossal North Dakota outdoor animal sculptures. When visiting the World's Largest Buffalo, be sure to take in the sights at the National Buffalo Museum which is dedicated to the history of the American Bison.

Greensted Church is the oldest wooden church in the world, and probably the oldest wooden building in Europe still standing, albeit only in part, since few sections of its original wooden structure remain. The oak palisade walls are often classified as remnants of a palisade church or a kind of early stave church, dated either to the mid-9th or mid-11th century.

Flag Fen near Peterborough, England is a Bronze Age site, probably religious.

The Society of Book and Snake is the fourth oldest secret society at Yale University. Book and Snake was founded at the Sheffield Scientific School in 1863 as a three-year society bearing the Greek letters Sigma Delta Chi. As other "Sheff" societies, it was once residential and maintained a separate residential building (or "Hall") built in 1888. Each year Book and Snake taps 16 new members, which is also in contrast to the others, most of which tap fifteen. Members are said to be leaders in different activities on campus and representative of Yale's academic, athletic, artistic and social scenes.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/the-society-of-book-and-snake/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/the-society-of-book-and-snake/ Thu, 26 Feb 2009 22:46:06 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/the-society-of-book-and-snake/ 41.31209100 -72.92710400 <![CDATA[Nathan's Famous Frankfurters original store]]>

Newkirk of Joliet, Illinois. Based on architectual plans from the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), the original structure (at the corner) utilized the company's familiar corporate colors. The "House with Canopy" form, sparkling clean appearence, prominent corner location; and well-lit landscaped, and fenced yard were all original marketing techniques employed to atract customers and to blend with nearby residential neighborhoods. After 1932, the station was operated as Overman's Certified Texaco Station, and the distinctive blue trim was painted green. From 1956-1962, the station operated as Allen Hall's Texaco and, later, as the Welco Gas Port until 1984 when listed in the National Register of Historic Places. In 1984, the Andreasen family purchased, enlarged and remodeled the abandoned gas station.

The Rengstorff House was one of the first houses to be built in Mountain View, California. It was built by Henry Rengstorff, who operated a ferry between San Francisco and Mountain View.
The house was located about a mile from the present location at Shoreline Park. It was saved from destruction in the 1970s, but remained abandoned for many years, until the 1980s when the house was finally restored. There are stories of Hells Angels driving their motorcycles up and down the dilapidated staircase.
The house is open for guided tours on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Sundays. Docents in period costume talk about the antique Victorian furnishings and decorative details. The English gardens are open during public hours. The museum hosts many Victorian events throughout the year.
