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.

Historic Lodi

The Creedence Clearwater Revival song says, "Stuck in Lodi again." I enjoyed my visit to Lodi and returned home to write about it.
Historic Lodi is filled with elements of old and new. Grapes have been grown in the Lodi area since 1850s. Wines include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonney, Sauvignon Blank, and Zinfandel. A number of wineries can be found in the area.
The first storefront for A & W Root Beer.
Lodi Arch
The original arch over Pine Street was designed by Architect E. B. Brown to commemorate the 1907 Tokay Carnival. It was built in 1907 in the mission revival style. The arch is California Registered Historical Landmark number 931 and is one of the few remaining mission revival ceremonial arches remaining in California.
