John Percival Jones, co-founder of Santa Monica. The other was the lesser-known and somewhat mysterious Kyte House, built around the same time and inhabited by the Southern California Masonic Lodges leader, Dr. George I. Kyte, and his family.They found their forever homes in what is now Heritage Square and were reborn as, respectively, the California Heritage Museum and a restaurant, the Victorian. Tits Out And Sunny at The Victorian (Michele Stueven)The...

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 10:51:18 GMT

The park confirmed this month that it is building a “Fast & Furious”-themed roller coaster.The new, as-yet-unnamed roller coaster is taking over the space formerly occupied by the Animal Actors and Special Effects Stage theaters. There’s no opening date yet, but plans filed with Los Angeles County suggest that this will be crowd-pleasing Intamin coaster with multiple launches and inversions, like Universal’s recent Jurassic World VelociCoaster in Orlando. Inside sources also have teased that the coaster trains will rotate for a “drifting” effect, like the Vekoma trains on Walt Disney World’s recent Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Rewind at EPCOT in Florida.Say what you will about its outrageous stunts and plot points, but Fast & Furious is one of Universal’s most successful franchises, and Universal Studios Hollywood has offered Fast & Furious attractions for years.

More great Bay Area pizza: Readers share their favorites

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 10:51:18 GMT

We knew before we published a feature on cool “niche pizza” parlors — chicken curry-topped pizza places, or kid-friendly spots with craft brews for the adults — that readers would chime in, sometimes vociferously, about their favorites. So when you read these recommendations, imagine them all starting with the incredulous words, “You left this one off the list?!”Here’s the roundup of places to try from readers who are passionate about their pizza:Toto’s Restaurant & Pizzeria (San Bruno, Belmont, San Francisco): This Neapolitan classic from the Spadarella family dates to 1932 in Brooklyn and S.F.’s postwar years. San Jose reader Mike Schlimmer is a longtime fan. “When Toto’s San Bruno opened in 1972, my high school buddies and I would take early lunches to walk over to share a No. 2 (salami, mushrooms and sausage) or No. 3 (pepperoni, mushrooms and sausage).

Joe Manchin and Failed Centrists Tout Vapid Manifesto at No Labels Town Hall

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 10:51:18 GMT

At the No Labels luncheon at the Puritan Backroom in Manchester, New Hampshire, on Monday, the punchline was hard to miss. A who’s who of failed moderate politicians and politicos, including former Sen. Joe Lieberman, former Govs. Pat McCrory and Jon Huntsman Jr., and former Reps. Fred Upton and Joe Cunningham, gathered alongside U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin. They were assembled to tout their political program in the form of a 73-page centrist manifesto outlining the path forward for a moderate American presidency. Neither press nor clergy were seen entering the private event, where, in a literal backroom, the fading stars of a puritanical third way met to further a plan that they have all but described as political blackmail.  Most Read Today’s Class War Is the 1 Percent Versus the People Just Below Them Jon Schwarz ...
