California Plaza Grand Performances in The Yard
Formerly the Watercourt designed by Arthur Erickson Architects with Wet Design, and now called “The Yard”, and re-purposed by Gensler to accomodate outdoor concert events. This required the removal of some water elements, but the main architectural features of the plaza remain: https://la.urbanize.city/post/downtown-california-plaza-the-yard-watercourt
The Grand Performances motto: “OUR MISSION IS TO INSPIRE COMMUNITY, CELEBRATE DIVERSITY, AND UNITE LOS ANGELES THROUGH FREE ACCESS TO GLOBAL PERFORMING ARTS.” Arthur would approve of that!
Lots of concerts here: https://www.grandperformances.org - Including this energetic performance by Son Rompe Pera (6/3/2023): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWxW2TNLgI

Day of Remembrance
February 19th is a significant date for the Japanese American community. On this day in 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which gave the U.S. Army the authority to remove civilians from the military zones established in Washington, Oregon, and California during WWII. This led to the forced removal and incarceration of some 120,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry living on the West Coast, who had to abandon their jobs, their homes, and their lives to be sent to one of ten concentration camps scattered in desolate, remote regions of the country.
No Japanese Americans were ever charged, much less convicted, of espionage or sabotage against the United States. Yet they were targeted, rounded up, and imprisoned for years, simply for having the “face of the enemy.”
Every February, the Japanese American community commemorates Executive Order 9066 as a reminder of the impact the incarceration experience has had on our families, our community, and our country. It is an opportunity to educate others on the fragility of civil liberties in times of crisis, and the importance of remaining vigilant in protecting the rights and freedoms of all.

Sorcerer's Hat: MGM (2001-2015)
Propaganda:
YES IT WAS CHEESY BUT ONCE AGAIN, ITS FREAKING DISNEY! YOU AREN'T GOING FOR SOPHISTICATION! It was FUN, it takes you from the real world! The whole park had an overall sorcerer's mickey theme going on in that era, so it fit! It was also a perfect icon for the park! I will never forgive them for getting rid of it. Oh and it was a great spot for characters!

DCA CALIFORNIA entrance letters: California Adventure (2001-2011)
Propaganda:
I never got to experience this in real life but I absolutley love the style and vibe of it and old DCA! Its sooo 90s/early 2000s, that style was the best. Make cheesy popular again!
