State Parks, Historic Sites, and Museums need your help.
Throughout the country, state parks, historic sites, homes, buildings, museums, and similar institutions are struggling to continue operating. Because of general financial problems, many of these institutions are operating on a reduced schedule or in danger of closing. Some are being forced to sell off artifacts and property. Many will not weather these hard times without your help.

Places Earth urges everyone to support these vital and important public resources any way you can. Please donate your treasure, time, and talent. Write to your governor and other elected officials telling them to find a way to keep state parks open. It will be your loss.

Vermonica

Named for the two streets that intersect beside the commercial parking lot where this street light exhibit stands, Vermonica can be viewed at the northeast corner of Vermount and Santa Monica. Originally planned to stand for one year when it opened in 1993, it still remains over ten years later. Sheila Klein conceived this idea which was implemented with the help of various "City of Los Angeles Bureaus and Departments, businesses, the neighborhood, and lots of friends." The exhibit shows about two dozen ornamental streetlights dated to about 1920 to 1940. Different areas of Los Angeles had unique designs. Labels are the bases list the original locations.

It can be viewed any time and is best viewed in a variety of times and lighting conditions.
