--A fire on June 1, 2008 destroyed 40,000 to 50,000 archived digital (numérique) video and film copies of Universal Studios' movie and TV classic shows, dating back to the 1920s.
--Malibu and Santa Monica are two beach cities near Los Angeles. “Malibu” comes from “Humaliwu”, the name given by the original inhabitants, the Chumash Indians. “Humaliwu” means “the surf sounds loudly.” Many stars live in Malibu now. Will we see many movie stars when we are there??
---Olvera Street is in the oldest part of Downtown Los Angeles and is part of the El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historic Monument. There are 27 historical buildings. It’s a Mexican-style marketplace with street vendors, cafés, restaurants and gift shops selling Mexican dress, leather huararches (Mexican sandals) and belts, piñatas and churros!
