"There is general agreement that the country's first roller coaster was the Switch Back Railway; the debate concerns which one. The Mauch Chunk-Summit Hill and Switch Back Railway, an eighteen-mile gravity railroad, was built in 1827 to carry coal in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley. Forty-five years later, when the big rail carriers rendered it obsolete, Josiah White turned the Switch Back into a thrill ride suitable for the Victorian era: you could bring a picnic. The other Switch Back Railway, which covered a gentle six-hundred-foot circuit of bunny hills at a speed of six m.p.h., was built in 1884, and was a tourist attraction from the start. At a nickel a ride, it earned back its fifteeen-hundred-dollar construction costs in three days. Its inventor, LaMarcus Thompson, became the first coaster entrepreneur, building fifty variations on his creation in the next four years.
"Eleven years later and a few blocks away, Paul Boynton opened Sea Lion Park, the first enclosed amusement park, . . . profligate use of incandescent lights made Coney Island visible from thirty miles out to sea. . . . the Flip Flap, the country's first looping coaster, which debuted . . . in 1895. . . .
" . . . By the late nineteen-twenties, there were more than fifteen hundred wooden coasters (but very few loops) at piers and pleasure gardens and trolley parks. Many had to fit into small and oddly shaped beach-front plots, so the designers came up with a whole list of "stunts"-side shakers, shimmies, camelbacks, kangaroo hops, fan curves, swoop curves, jump tracks, figure-eights, and spiral dips. . . . then as now, a roller coaster was an engineer's way of telling jokes.

Blue
That blue with just a question of lavender there in the south so perfect behind the four fan-palm tops with their orange-yellow with their yellow-orange with their citrus streaks looks good but is not the blue I want in a sky today Straight up it's dark and pours rays hot on my head. I'm breathing but it's not fun everything hurts just a littleThat's the way life was with you Mama so beautiful, but something was just not the color I needed
Then when I cried
when I cried I'm crying still the sky is not quite the right blue today that's all.

" For Made in Mexico, the new group exhibition at the UCLA Hammer Museum, Francis Alÿs has contributed an extraordinary humane and provocative work he made a decade ago. Alÿs, a Belgian expatriate long resident in Mexico City, has been instrumental in creating international interest in new art in Mexico.
"The installation is titled "The Liar, the Copy of the Liar." It begins with small paintings that the artist based on commercial signs he encountered around the sprawling city. In one, presumably meant to advertise men's clothing, the image of a young man dressed in business attire is partly overlaid atop another very similar image. . . .
" . . .
"Alÿs made his small copy of this strange vernacular image, then took the copy to different sign painters - rotulistas - around Mexico City. He hired three of them to paint larger copies.
"Juan Garcia, Enrique Huerta and Emilio Rivera made versions that differ radically from one another . . .
" . . . and also difffer from the the painting Alÿs asked them to copy. . . .
" . . .
" Alÿs' marvelous installation finds its ancestry in classic Conceptual art from the 1960s. The most pointed example is several terrific series by John Baldessari, who employed commercial sign painters to execute canvases that formerly would have been made by artists. This is notable because Conceptual art stands as the marker for aesthetic legitamacy today. . . . full-scale entry into the international fold of post-Conceptual art.
"Conceptual art was not jus an American or Western European phenomenon. . . .
" . . .
"So when 32-year old Gabriel Orozco nailed a plain plastic lid from a yogurt cup to the wall of über-hip Marian Goodman Gallery in New York 10 years ago [1994], it was like Martin Luther nailing his 95 theses on the door of the castle church. A Mexican artist hadd rigorously asserted the ineluctable primacy of Conceptual art for the contemporary world.
"In the Hammer show, Orozco is represented by a 1995 sculpture based on the design of a chessboard. (From a local collection, it was included in his MOCA survey.) Like his other work, it pointedly invokes artist Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968), the French chess fanatic and godfather of Conceptualism . . . "

"The city's original 1906 charter mandated district representatives and the direct election of the mayor. However, a 1946 charter reform set the current system, in place, under which the seven council members are elected at large. A city-commissioned study in 1992 found that the change was partially designed to exclude a growing black population in the Pico neighborhood from political power. . . .

{Now called "The Victorian", it seems as though there was a private land-grab of a public space under the guise of preservation. And it seems to have a collusionary agreement with the Omelet Parlour. (And as an undeserving thought isn't it the case that all the old buildings in SM which are moved are moved to Ocean Park?)}
{July 4, 2004: I went early to the Farmer's Market in the Main St. parking lot behind The Victorian and The Historical Museum to be first in line for the fresh oysters farmed in the Santa Barbara Channel. While waiting I discovered on a rock in the front yard of the Jones House a bronze plaque which had been dedicated April 25, 1985 by the Ocean Park Lodge 369 F & AM (Free and Accepted Masons) commemorating Alexander Rosborough Fraser (1856-1926), Charter Master of the Lodge; Herbert Richmond Gage (1848-1930); George Merritt Jones (1862-1932); Abbott Kinney (1850-1920)}

{Now is a historical landmark? and a two family residence.}
{Michael Fawcett*, in the film Carnations, Ostriches and Condos: The Secret History of Ocean Park, tells the story that in 1875 Nancy Lucas* built a house on the highest point of land in her 800 acre barley ranch, and she died of strychnine poisoning and the front lawn was later donated to the City for the park. Nancy Lucas* died of strychnine poisoning after she sold the house to Mary Greene*. Mary Greene's second husband was Dan Moody*, who, Mary Greene* swore, was killed by a single shot from his pistol which he sat on during a trip to Los Angeles. In 1904 the Mansion burned to the ground, but the circumstances of its burning were so questionable that the insurance company refused to pay.}
{see # !; the rails along the central promenade in the park were foundational to the sport of skate-boarding and roller-blading; perhaps its tragic beginnings as an estate engendered iniquity: the park benches on the upper level is where John Haldeman, Nixon's man, and a native Santa Monica Canyonan, and removed from the SAMOHI Hall of Fame and hardball USC student politician, tried to bribe Judge Julius Sirica to cover up the Watergate Break-In. }
{See the Lord Carlton and The Enchanted View as other wrestlers' ding-bats.}
{#53, #55 and the public murals raise serious issues about the role and the place of public art in our culture and in Ocean Park in particular. One shouldn't forget the mushroom atomic bomb explosion made of chain links by LA Times political cartoonist, the rolling half circles left by an Italian artist as an afterthought; the missing Nancy Graves sculpture through which marched an endless succession of volley ball nets, the temporal succession of starfish, banners and shopping carts and the random ephemera, graffitti, car alarms and plate-glass scratching; Robbie Conal covering up his own caricatures with his own caricatures; commercial signs vanishing and then blocking the sidewalk; and people living long enough in the same location to actually personalize or vernacularize it, or perhaps it requires persons to create a dialogue, heap scorn or revenge themselves upon wit their environment, including public art, and their neighbors who doubtlessly deserve all the discussion they have stood for for so long.}
