This massive, 147-acre lifestyle center in Rancho Cucamonga serves as a downtown gathering area for locals and visitors alike. As I completed my walk-about, I sauntered across the parking area to Prospect Park. That is the area that Ms. Shirk had the city promise to preserve for the people of Redlands when she donated her family’s home.

Build a Beautiful Wedding Album

The sun was up, the wind was down, and it was a perfect day to explore a place I had never visited. As I wandered the estate's grounds, I was a bit nervous in case I was approached by the Royal Guard or a security officer. Yes, that family brought the world the products that make us all much easier to be around. Facial tissues, hygiene products, toilet paper, disposable diapers, baby wipes, and so much more that we need to take a moment to thank them. If not, perhaps the lady of the house would have been correct about the commoner and the odor — just saying. Then in 1905, John Alfred Kimberly of the Kimberly-Clark paper company purchased the property.

The Ultimate Guide To Joshua Tree National Park

Please do not follow mapping services that direct you otherwise as they will mislead you. After entering the gate at Highland Avenue, you will find a parking lot straight ahead. Please park and proceed around the corner to the front wrought iron pedestrian gate of the estate.

Tour

Children must be at least 9 years old to participate in the house tour. When visiting with a reservation, please arrive 20 minutes before your tour to provide ample time to park, check in at the Garden House and use the restrooms if needed. If you must arrive late, we will do our best to accommodate your reservation by adding you to the next available tour. From weddings to parties to memorial services, Kimberly Crest has been honored to host thousands of events.

Where Do We Park?

The lily ponds feature radiant Koi; vivid red, pink and yellow lilies against deep green majestic lotus blossoms; and papyrus. In 1998, KSA was made an honorary member of the Inland Koi Society who maintains the lily ponds at Kimberly Crest.The Italian terraced gardens were designed by G. Edwin Bergstrom, a prominent Los Angeles architect and a son-in-law of the Kimberlys. Bergstrom successfully interpreted Mrs. Kimberly's wishes for an Italian garden.

The house was built in 1897 and is now owned and operated by Kimberly-Shirk Association, a non-Profit organization. All proceeds from weddings at the venue go to the preservation of the house and garden. Kimberly Crest House and Gardens is an exquisite French château-style Victorian mansion located in Redlands, California (San Bernardino County in the Inland Empire). It’s a unique destination and not-so-hidden gem for visitors looking to explore its beautiful gardens, learn about its fascinating history, and capture stunning photos of the estate.

The family lived in the house until 1979 when Mary Kimberly Shirk died, She was the widowed daughter of John Alfred Kimberly. The mansion sits atop a high hill in the area, which allows refreshing evening breezes to naturally cool the house's interior. The Kimberly-Shirk Association maintains the property, and continues to open the home to the people of Redlands and the general public, as well as be involved in the city of Redlands. Their mission statement describes their dedication to preserve the property and grounds, as well as share, educate, and inspire. Kimberly Crest is proud to participate in Museums for All offering free admission for up to 4 guests to any holder of a SNAP EBT card with a valid matching driver’s license or identification card.

Do you have a site fee for wedding ceremonies at your venue?

Entry inside the house is available through small group tours with ticket purchase. Special events are also offered throughout the year to immerse guests in the history of the place and raise much-needed funds to preserve the landmark for all time. Kimberly Crest is the picture-perfect setting for photography that marks those special moments and milestones in your life. If you live in Los Angeles, this venue is definitely in the same vein as Greystone Mansion and is around the same price if you’re looking for an upgraded Saturday ceremony and reception for 125 people. If I’m comparing the two side-by-side, however, I would have to choose Greystone considering the location, grounds, and parking situation.

This garden features a rose lined path from the pergola, a heart-shaped boxwood filled with roses and the “Shy Girl” statue. It remains a place of quiet reflection and comfort for many visitors today. We book only one event a day so you will be the only ones on property during your selected package timeframe. Kimberly Crest will be closed to the public on the day of your event. Guests will park in the parking lot at the bottom of Kimberly Crest.

Kimberly Crest is an estate of  restorative beauty and welcoming hospitality. Located just two miles south of historic downtown Redlands, our gates are open weekdays and Sundays for guests of all ages to find solace and inspiration in the well-manicured gardens. We are closed on Saturdays for private events and on most major holidays. The house was built in 1897 for Mrs Cornelia A. Hill, one of the pioneers of Redlands.

One of the first pioneers of Redlands, Cornelia A. Hill, built the estate in 1897. I don’t know who she was, but she had to come with some serious cash to build such a marvelous place — so, she must have been important. So, not long ago, I had a bit of business to do and found myself with hours to meander through the town of Redlands. That always confused me, but then later, I understood her meaning. When she goes shopping, and there are plenty of examples, she will spend hours looking at this and peering at that. Redlands is a wonderful town to visit, but I have not spent much time there.

Host a business retreat, celebration of life, or other special occasion at our enchanting 126-year-old landmark conveniently situated adjacent to beautiful Prospect Park. With acres of Italian gardens and the Victorian era French Chateau in the background, Kimberly Crest is an unforgettable setting for gatherings of all kinds. Our venue packages, listed below, include the use of the grounds for the number of hours listed and use of a private multi-purpose room with kitchenette and balcony along with clean restrooms. Proceeds from private events like these help our nonprofit organization preserve and share the landmark for generations to come. Kimberly Crest, a picturesque French chateau style home built in 1897, is a well preserved example of the Victorian Era in California.

The fountain, “Venus Rising from the Sea”, became a gathering place for family photographs and captivated the Victorian spirit. Docent-guided House Tours are 45 minutes in duration and begin on the half-hour. Standard group size is 8 per tour but on occasion may include up to 12 guests. Given the setting and group format, children must be at least 9 years old to be admitted on the standard tour. For field trips and educational tours, please see our “Group or Bus Tour” section below.

Entry inside the house can only be accessed if a group tour or a grand entrance are added on. In 1963 there was a community effort to raise money to match a Federal grant to purchase Prospect Park (a 39-acre botanical park east of and adjacent to Kimberly Crest) for the City of Redlands. To motivate support for this worthwhile project, Mrs. Shirk promised to give her home to the “people of Redlands” if the needed money was raised – and the incentive worked, with the park being acquired in 1968. This French château-style Victorian mansion is a registered California Historical Landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It seems Mrs. Shirk had a strong sense of community and purpose. Before her passing, she challenged the city of Redlands to find the cash to purchase the land around the estate and turn it into botanical gardens for the citizens to enjoy.

Will There Be Another Event Happening the Day I book?

Upon her death in 1979, by her wishes, Mary Kimberly Shirk donated the home to “the people of Redlands” and established the Kimberly-Shirk Association to run the home and gardens to this day. The property was sold, in 1905, to members of the Kimberly family (John Alfred Kimberly, and his wife, Helen Cheney Kimberly), known for co-founding the Kimberly-Clark paper company. This is a sprawling estate with beautiful gardens, interesting history, and plenty of photo ops. The third floor, which is not included on the public tour, has additional bedrooms and a screened sleeping porch that would have been used in the hot summer months. Kimberly Crest, a picturesque French chateau style home built in 1897, is a well-preserved example of the Victorian Era in California.

For more information about hosting a private event at Kimberly Crest, click here. Our outdoor venue accommodates up to 200 guests seated at tables and 250 guests in theater-style seating. Kimberly Crest House and Gardens sits on over 6 acres and features a Victorian-style chateau and Italian Renaissance gardens.

Price is rounded up to the nearest thousand and includes tax and gratuity. In 1963 there was a community effort to raise money to match a federal grant to purchase Prospect Park (a 39 acre botanical garden east of and adjacent to Kimberly Crest) for the City of Redlands. To motivate support for this worthwhile project, Mrs. Shirk promised to give her home to the “people of Redlands” if the needed money was raised. The following year the Kimberly-Shirk Association was formed, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and sharing Kimberly Crest. After Mr. Kimberly passed away, the Kimberly’s daughter Mary Kimberly-Shirk had a rose garden built to ease her mother’s grief and named it “Grandmother’s Rose Garden”.

In 1905, John Alfred Kimberly, a co-founder of the Kimberly-Clark paper company, purchased the home to escape the Wisconsin winters, giving the family name to the property. When the Kimberly family purchased the property in 1905, Mrs Kimberly had the Italian gardens installed on the property. The overall property consists of the main residence (a large 7,000 square foot dwelling), a carriage house, the formal Italian gardens, and several acres of orange groves. Kimberly Crest is open to the public to walk and explore the grounds. For the comfort and peace of mind of all guests, pets are not allowed on site without advanced permission.

The property is a registered California Historical Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. We offer special tours and ticket pricing for groups of all sizes and makeup, from school groups to seniors — Monday through Wednesday between 10 AM and 4 PM. Please fill out the form below to make reservations at least two weeks in advance. Groups with 30 or more guests will have a self lead tour with docents stationed in each room to answer questions. Kimberly Crest is located on Prospect Drive off Highland Avenue.

Do you have a site fee for wedding ceremonies at your venue?

The Kimberly Crest House Tour includes a docent guided tour of the first and second floors of the petite chateau while guests learn about the families of Kimberly Crest. The tours also includes a visit to the Carriage House to see the latest of the rotating exhibits anzd end in the Carriage House Gift Shop. Kimberly Crest House & Gardens is a 6-acre estate in Redlands, California featuring a Victorian Chateau and Italian Renaissance styled gardens. In 1905 the home was purchased by Helen Cheney Kimberly and her husband John Alfred Kimberly. Mrs. Kimberly added the gardens and decorated the interior of the home as you find it today. After the Kimberlys’ death, the estate was inherited by their daughter, Mary Kimberly-Shirk.

I have a purpose in mind, such as the Orange Street Alley, and go there to experience it. The current price (at the time of writing) is $15.00 for adults, $12.00 for seniors/active military/veteran/student, and $5.00 for children ages 6-12. The architecture of the mansion has been described in different ways. It is at once a French château-style 3-story home with tall towers and turrets, and also a Victorian mansion as is common to Redlands, California. The Carriage House was built for the family horses and carriages and had a small apartment on the top floor for the caretaker. In 1897 the cost to construct both the home and Carriage House was $10,000.

Terence Hernstrom, director of gardens and grounds, revives and designs the breath-taking gardens today. The gardens include never ending Mediterranean borders, cascading fountains, lily and koi ponds, multiple terraces, curved stairways and engulfing orange groves - all reminiscent of Renaissance Italy. Begin your happily-ever-after at our enchanting 125-year-old landmark conveniently situated adjacent to beautiful Prospect Park. With acres of Italian gardens and the Victorian era French Chateau in the background, Kimberly Crest is an unforgettable setting for your special day. The 7,000 square foot, three-story chateau sits on a six and one quarter acre estate two miles south of downtown Redlands. The house’s unique features include a French revival parlor complete with gilt furniture and silk damask wall coverings.

Additional fees for event security and gate monitoring apply and will be based on number of hours needed. An additional $500 refundable security deposit is required for events with theater seating as well as 3-hour event packages. All other packages require an additional refundable security deposit equivalent to twice the hourly rate of the rental package.

The second floor was the personal living area for the family and includes a mezzanine with two bedrooms on each side as well as a conservatory.

After purchasing the property, the Kimberly's had Italian gardens installed around the property. No, the Kimberly Crest House is one of those estates that is a vast, stunningly crafted structure where the visitor expects a lord or lady to saunter down the billion stairs in the front garden to see who is approaching. The three-story Victorian mansion was designed in the Châteauesque style by Oliver Perry Dennis and Lyman Farwell, a Los Angeles-based partnership.[5] The building contains over 7,000 square feet (650 m2) of floor space. A near replica, now known as The Magic Castle, was designed by the same architects and erected in Hollywood[6] in 1909.

If you’re from out of town or are having a lot of out-of-town guests, I also think the limited hotel options might be an issue. However, the grounds are definitely gorgeous and unique, and for many brides that outweighs any potential negatives (and should!). The Kimberly-Shirk Association hosts a number of different events throughout the year at Kimberly Crest. They host regular guided tours of the house and grounds, as well as special events like Victorian tea parties and holiday celebrations. Built in 1897, the “castle” is a picturesque French chateau-style historical house museum.

For those requiring special accommodations, they may be driven to the top of the house to be dropped off. We encourage informal picture-taking using personal devices to share with friends and family and on social media. Such photos may not be used for commercial purposes without prior written approval. As I walked up to the mansion entrance, I noticed large water-filled ponds with dozens of beautifully colored koi, which most people know as nishikigoi. A special event that our older daughter enjoyed twice was the annual Princesses at the Castle.

One of the most popular spirits is a cranky cook in the kitchen. The cook is usually seen wandering around the building and looking over the kitchen shelves. You can tour the facility or participate in public and private paranormal investigations. Farnsworth embraces the hauntings and hosts ghost hunts and tours.

Fights, disruptions reported at Ridley High School

Guests and staff members report feeling touched when no one is around, seeing a strange man’s apparition at the bar after hours, and hearing doors open and close on their own. In 1877, seven members of the Molly Maguires, a secret union of Irish coal miners, were imprisoned and executed at Jim Thorpe’s Old Jail Museum. Another of the ghosts is Francis ‘Daddy’ Thomas who worked in Bethlehem as a tour guide prior to his death in 1822. Finally, the remaining two ghosts are the buildings’ original landlords Mr. and Mrs. Brong.

Pennhurst Asylum

This haunt is comprised of 60 acres and more than 90 minutes of fright. With attractions such as a spooky hayride, eerie forest, pitch-black labyrinth, and Sector 13 (a post-apocalyptic wasteland adventure), you are sure to get in all your thrills at this adventure. Reaper’s Revenge also features a disturbing take on sideshow life with the Lost Carnival. The uncovered testimony of a teenage girl, Madeline Letsche, claims the ghost of Isaac Mishler who died in 1944 haunts historic Altoona’s Mishler Theatre. So, if you head to the theatre for a showing, you may just get more of a performance than you bargained for. Once referred to as “hell with the lid off”, The Burgh is one of if not the most haunted city in the Western area of Pennsylvania.

While it has gained many stories of peculiar activity in that time, no single ghost has made itself known here. Cahill is just one of several ghosts rumored to walk the aisles of the theater. Others include a man in a straw boater hat who hangs out in the balcony and a little girl who is dressed all in white.

Fear Hollow in Mountain Top, PA

That concludes our list of haunted places in Pennsylvania, but there are plenty of other haunted locations located across the country. Several former staff members and patients are believed to be active in the hospital. Visiting haunted places in Pennsylvania can be an exciting experience. There are many places to choose from, with one of the most infamous being Pennhurst Asylum. This historic property in Spring City, Pennsylvania is known for its horrific acts of abuse in 1908. Jennie Wade was a twenty-year-old woman who was killed by a stray bullet during the Civil War.

Another historical site in Pennsylvania that is apparently haunted is Philadelphia’s, Fort Mifflin. So many historical sites around the state have been remodeled, but Fort Mifflin claims to be the only Revolutionary War battlefield that has remained completely intact. Caitlyn Jenner, 74, will again join Fox News at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

It’s believed to be haunted by the ghost of a prisoner that took his life. This ghost is said to have terrorized cellmates and guards alike. It has also been reported that inmates have heard strange noises or seen shadows in the building. What is it about Iverson’s pits that makes it a hotspot for paranormal activity? A former owner of the property claimed that farmhands were terrorized by phantoms, but that wasn’t all.

The facility, which operated from 1926 to 2004 as a home for the mentally ill, elderly, and financially destitute, is open for tours. Needless to say, many men held here went completely insane and many of them died. It is no surprise that visitors hear footsteps, screams, moans, and other unexplained noises. One of the most terrifying places in all of Pennsylvania is without a doubt, Eastern State Penitentiary. Around 2000 men died here on what was the bloodiest day of the Revolutionary War and visitors say that they can still hear the battle echoing around the area.

For the 2024 WHCD on Saturday, April 27, SNL's Colin Jost was tapped to deliver the roast of President Joe Biden — and he'll have plenty of entertainment peers in the room watching. Aside from the president, vice president, first lady, second gentleman and all your favorite news anchors, here are the biggest stars attending this year's White House Correspondents' Dinner. Once you are done exploring some of the most haunted places in Lancaster, PA, why not take a break and shake off those spooky vibes by visiting The Shops @Rockvale. The infamous Room 6 and the tavern are said to be “hotspots” of paranormal activity, leaving guests feeling like they are not alone. Mist-like figures and spirits won’t stop the most curious individuals.

The bridge was also used as an execution site for three southern soldiers, tainting the land with a darkness that can still be felt today. Located in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, the Farnsworth House Inn is a historic building that is now used as a bed and breakfast. The building was built in 1810 making it one of the oldest surviving buildings in the area. The structure has been used as a bed and breakfast, a restaurant, and a tourist shop.

It offers overnight ghost tours and investigations for those looking to experience paranormal activity in person. Reported activity includes footsteps, whispers, being touched by spirits and one ghost who likes to lunge at men on the third floor. The Keystone State teems with historic sites known for paranormal activity and unexplained happenings. Check out these haunted Pennsylvania attractions where you’ll discover fascinating history – and possibly a ghostly encounter.

Those incarcerated in this prison were subjected to both physical and psychological torture. It is also home to a famous ghost story regarding what has become known as ‘The Day of The Rope’. On June 21, 1877, four Irish coal miners accused of being Molly Maguires were hanged in the Old Jail at one time as punishment for fighting for better treatment and working conditions.

The asylum was abandoned in 1987 with many toys, clothes and furniture left just as they were. A woman who works in the building told PennLive about her haunted experiences there. Adorable penguins and hundreds of other birds live on the former site of the Western State Penitentiary, sister to the infamous Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia. Stories tell of ghosts belonging to Confederate soldiers who were housed in the penitentiary during the Civil War. Gettysburg College is loaded with ghost stories, according to Mark Nesbitt of Ghosts of Gettysburg Candlelight Walking Tours. Many of the stories of his book series, "Ghosts of Gettysburg," take place at the school - from soldier sightings to people stepping back in time.

Allen Campbell, author of "Ghosts at Carlisle Barracks Army War College," has had multiple haunting experiences. At night, long after the museum has been locked up, he said sounds of moans, groans and clanging can be heard emanating from the building. In addition, a farmhouse in the hollow was built using stones from the waterfall. Visitors report seeing the ghost of Eliza Stranahan, who died in 1901, in one of the windows. For those curious about investigating the hospital, be warned that permission is required to enter the grounds and explore the buildings. On a hill just behind Cameron Street in Harrisburg lies the grounds of the 1851 Pennsylvania State Lunatic Hospital, the first public asylum in the state.

There are lots and lots of ghost stories about haunted houses, restaurants, inns and theaters across Pennsylvania. We’ve compiled a list of some of the most haunted spots from Pittsburgh to Harrisburg to Philadelphia -- and everywhere in between. The Terror Behind the Walls[2] haunt is held in the actual site of the Eastern State Penitentiary where ghostly beings are said to roam freely throughout its walls. Featured on several different television shows including Ghost Adventures and Ghost Hunters, the penitentiary itself is a terrifying place. Add in the theatrics of jump-scares galore, and the attraction is sure to please those with a thirst for adrenaline.

Hundred Acres Manor – Bethel Park, PA

They've reported seeing a painting change at least nine times, the spirits of women in period clothing, a Native American man and of Margaret Ann Larimer, who died giving birth. Fear Hollow in Mountain Top, PA is sure to bring all of your worst phobias to life right before your eyes. Enter this haunted house and walk the creepy winding trail if you dare to face the most twisted parts of your imagination.

Inn at Jim Thorpe

That's not the only paranormal occurrence at the hospital – one of the oldest in the country. According to "The Big Book of Pennsylvania Ghost Stories," Penn would walk the grounds so often that nurses would regularly bring patients out to watch it. "I had my door open. I was the only one in the building – it was winter, and dark outside – when all of a sudden, all the doors in the hallway started opening and slamming," she told reporter Marijon Shearer. Sightings include a man appearing and disappearing from the bar after the bartender had already locked up, and guests have reported feeling someone's touch when no one is near. The current owner also tells of a door that seems to open and close on its own.

Whether you’re looking for a spooky Halloween night or a place to explore the haunting history of the American criminal justice system, the Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia is a perfect destination. With so many spirits and captured evidence, it’s no wonder The Farnsworth house is one of the most haunted places in Pennsylvania. The spectral Confederate soldiers have been known to be quite cheeky. They also create pockets of cold air around the house, which are reported by inn employees.

The museum offers a number of exhibits that showcase the domestic life of the Civil War era. It also has an extensive gift shop with items including Jennie Wade souvenirs and collectibles. Located in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, the Jennie Wade House is one of the most haunted places in the state.

Old Jail Museum, Smethport

The hospital, commonly referred to as the "City on the Hill," was active until it was shut down in 2006. Today, several of its buildings lie abandoned, with others used by state agencies. The Gettysburg Hotel, established in 1797, is in walking distance to the historic battlefield.

Paranormal investigators believe Union soldier James Culbertson's ghost roams the hotel, along with a woman who dances in the ballroom. More than 2,500 soldiers were killed in the fighting in and around Devil's Den. As the romantic tragedy ghost story goes, Johnny Coyle lived with his mom and dad at the Inn in the 1800s. The girl that he loved (possibly named Emily or Molly) did not return his affection. He ended up shooting the girl and received a verdict of death by hanging for the crime. He is buried on a hill next to the restaurant but apparently he sneaks over in ghostly form spooking servers with his pranks and mischievous behavior.

Hill View Manor has been the subject of several investigations by ghost hunters. Ghost Adventures, SyFy’s Ghost Hunters, Ghost Lab, and Destination America have all investigated this haunted building. There is evidence of apparitions, EVPs, footsteps, banging, and even physical touching. Sudden cold chills and a feeling of static electricity is also common phenomenon at Hill View Manor. When I stayed at the Wedgwood Inn, owner Carl Glassman talked about the inn being haunted.

Vice President Kamala Harris will be in New York today to record an interview with Drew Barrymore for her television talk show. Tomorrow, Mr. Biden will head to Syracuse, N.Y., for a White House event, while Mr. Trump will head back to court. As the story goes, a long time ago, in a town not so far away, there was a textile mill where many workers were tortured. Lincoln Mill Haunted House invites Star Wars fans nationwide to a special, exclusive one-day-only Star Wars-inspired event on Saturday, May 4.

Used as shelter for Confederate sharpshooters and a makeshift hospital after the Battle of Gettysburg, the Farnsworth House Inn is touted as one of the most haunted places in America. Stay in the historic bed-and-breakfast and choose from a variety of spooky experiences, including ghost hunts and guided walks through cemeteries, hospitals, and battle sites. Many places around the country have plenty of ghost stories to tell. Whether or not you believe in ghosts, history has a way of leaving its mark on the present day. In addition to Iverson’s Pits, there are numerous other ghostly places to see on the battlefield.

With many buildings over 100 years old and history that spans longer, it’s little wonder there are a number of ghosts that call Pittsburgh home. Ever since the hospital closed there has been an increasing number of reports of paranormal activity that have contributed to the building’s reputation as one of the most haunted hospitals in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is one of the oldest states and it is also one of the most fascinating. It has a somewhat creepy past that is peppered with traumatic events, murders, and tragic accidents. There are also several abandoned prisons and asylums making it the perfect setting for some paranormal activity. The franchise kicked off with 2015’s Hell House LLC, which quickly gained a following as one of the best of the found-footage space.

Ghost tours are offered on the first and third Fridays of each month. In 2012, the Syfy channel’s Ghost Hunters investigated the brewery for an episode. The team concluded that there was paranormal activity at Bube’s. Many guests have stated seeing the ghost of Pauline Bube Engle, granddaughter of the original owner, floating the halls of the 19th-century brewery and hotel in a white dress with her hair pulled up.

Numerous ghosts are said to haunt this South Oakland theater, so the stories vary depending on who you ask. The majority of the theater’s ghosts are curious and regularly poke in to check out the latest productions. For example, during a performance of “Lucky Stiff,” the theater’s sound booth door (a hulking metal contraption) began to open on its own.

Is she crying for the married man who betrayed her, or is she grieving for her soldier husband killed during the war? Several tales have circulated throughout the years … nevertheless, she was hung from a tree near the church, and her ghost allegedly haunts the graveyard. The Old Jail Museum used to be the original jailhouse in Smethport and is considered to be one of the 10 most haunted buildings in the Keystone State. A spirit is said to haunt the dungeon, and this ghostly resident is thought to be a former inmate. Once an opera house that burned to the ground and rebuilt, the Clifton Theater has had many strange sightings and activities.

There's also a more sinister spirit about, one that led to a staff member being so frightened they climbed out a window onto a flagpole. Kate Soffel, the warden's wife, aided her inmate lover and his brother in an escape. The Biddle brothers were killed in a shootout three days later, and Soffel lived out her days in prison. Standing at the threshold of this ornate Victorian Manor (built in 1888), you'd expect Lurch from "The Addam's Family" to step out from behind a pocket door and lead you to a table. He doesn't, but a professional groomed waiter does seat you in a corner spot in the parlor surrounded by carved hardwood aesthetics and the ghostly spirit of Emma. Jean Bonnet Tavern, which has welcomed travelers to Bedford since 1762, is an excellent place to satisfy your appetite for delicious eats and paranormal activity.

We admired the graceful swimming strokes of Lloyd Bridges, of TV’s “Sea Hunt” and the “Here’s Johnny! ”-madness of Jack Nicholson, bodysurfing right over the rocky point. Another noteworthy point to the Peter Pan side of this – the current owners only bought the company back in 2021. One of the financial backers of that sale was McKinley Capital Management, which was using money from the Permanent Fund Corporation’s in-state investment program at the time. But I think when you look at how quickly this company is halting operations – it’s really indicative of how quickly things have changed for one of the state’s biggest industries.

The coastal access activists are just as sure that more people and the treasured habitat can flourish, side by side. “I just don’t know if a lot of these houses [have multiple] years to spare,” McKay said. With every water main break — of which there have been many lately — water floods their streets and hillsides, adding to the saturated soils and landslides’ fragile layers, which she believes has to be worsening the problem. But the Rancho Palos Verdes community is still facing a laundry list of escalating issues. More land movement has meant more ruined roadways, water and gas leaks and property damage — all requiring frequent and intensive repairs, often with hefty price tags. That’s become too much even for a wealthy community like this one.

Yet residents across the neighborhoods most affected remain hopeful. Some are holding out for more federal disaster aid; others want to see drainage improved, the canyon lined more effectively or utility projects prioritized. The 16 currently pump out 130,000 gallons of water a day, he said. A decades-long landslide has reshaped a 240-acre part of Palos Verdes Peninsula known as Portuguese Bend.

We found that men who engage in sober living at The Last House who also attend Thrive Therapy, have proven to have a higher chance at success in recovery. Both of our charming properties are steps from each other which gives our residents the ability to truly make friends in sobriety and to build a sense of camaraderie within our recovery community. The Last House Sober Living® is a network of structured sober living homes located in the heart of West Los Angeles. There is a large sober living community in California, and we are proud to be apart of this.

Over the decades, the small stretch of dry sand became ever smaller, reduced by rising sea levels and by construction of one more massive beachfront home. Still, the Cove endured, one of the California coast’s innumerable little gems. At the end of the passage, seawater pooled, which meant wading through a mucky pond teeming with driftwood and mystery flotsam. First came the sunlight, the sand and — after a scramble across a rocky point — finally, the beach. No one could claim ownership here, where pelicans swooped and dolphins played.

Structured & trusted sober living home with clinical accommodations. Whether you are a domestic or international student, we have the ultimate package for you. The creek bed is more clogged with brush, tule reeds and driftwood than ever. When I talk to San Fernando Valley refugees, escaping another 100-degree day, it’s hard not to share their giddiness as they plop down in the moist sand, alongside Mother Nature’s timeless air conditioner. The access wars that have flared anew this summer feel as old as the rocky point at one end of the Cove and as new as the next tide. “It’s such a beautiful resource and a place for families to go and enjoy,” said Irma Munoz, chair of the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, which holds title to the Cove properties.

Instead, it was quietly offered at $295 million as a pocket listing, which means it was shown only to a select group of qualified buyers. The mega-mansion spans nearly 40,000 square feet and required 7,645 cubic yards of concrete, according to Morley Construction Co., the project’s contractor. Mountain View Village, formally known as Mountain View Estates, is a beautifully designed, all-age, family and pet-friendly manufactured home community.

I called Caltrans and a watch commander at the sheriff’s station. They confirmed that there has been no serious trouble around the Cove since the fence came down, though deputies have told some people to move away when they’ve planted themselves too close to (and even underneath) homes. But I will take the many, many locals at their word when they assured me they are good with anyone visiting La Costa Beach, as long as they follow the rules. They noted that state officials have long agreed that a daytime-only gate, trash cans and other improvements are needed. Color has for too long presented a blockade at lily-white beaches all along the coast.

Sober Living Designed for Recovery

Some hurdles to reopening quickly, though, are deferred maintenance at the facility that need to be addressed. Silver Bay has also said it’s prioritizing absorbing as much of Peter Pan’s fleet as possible, including up in Bristol Bay, where Silver Bay will now operate two processing plants because of this Peter Pan deal. So, that will likely eat up some of the company’s more immediate expenses. And then about two weeks ago the company posted on Facebook that the plant would stay closed and encouraged people to apply to Silver Bay for work. And since then Silver Bay has also confirmed that – at least for now – it doesn’t have plans to open the facility. A new owner will take over the processing plant, but it’s unclear when the facility will reopen.

We are committed to the success of college students by providing innovative, low cost, modern, furnished apartment options with the closest proximity to campus. As I left the Cove recently, I met another former local, a sun-drenched 20-something named Henry Ward, who once lived right on Billionaire’s Beach. Behind the exclusive gates of Hollister Ranch are some of California’s most-coveted beaches and surf breaks. Back in my youth, we canyon-dwellers weren’t oblivious to our advantages. But they seemed pale in comparison to the technicolor wealth and celebrity of those who lived right on the beach.

Mastro's is committed to delivering an unforgettable experience, every time. Experience exquisite wines, the freshest seafood, the finest prime steak, and genuine service. Kurt Rappaport of Westside Estate Agency handled both ends of the deal, TMZ reported.

It was especially unwelcome to us, kids lucky enough to grow up in the sunbaked hills on the other side of the coast highway, in Malibu. You may occasionally receive promotional content from the Los Angeles Times. “You couldn’t watch prime time without seeing a car running along the PCH area and see the house on the beach,” Sap said. State lifeguards are coming to grips with the loss of the historic Cove House training building at Point Mugu State Park, which collapsed onto the beach Wednesday as powerful surf pounded the shoreline. Meanwhile, Peter Pan really wasn’t saying anything about what it planned to do with King Cove.

They said that by erecting an unpermitted fence, the locals effectively blocked court-ordered access to public land. “It rains and our house is moving,” said Caitlin McKay, whose home sits not far from where Reeves pointed out the landslide’s ground zero. Increasingly, however, the rain’s effects are almost immediate, Portuguese Bend residents said. “This just gets worse by the day,” Reeves said on a recent walk through Cinnamon Lane, which she called a new ground zero for landslide movement. The city of King Cove is worried about the future after its seafood processor announced earlier this month that it will cease operations.

The ancient complex includes four historically active landslides, dubbed the Portuguese Bend, Abalone Cove, Klondike Canyon and Beach Club landslides. The oldest and largest, Portuguese Bend, was activated in 1956, starting the land’s slow descent to the sea. After initial shifts ruined about 130 homes, officials have been able to stave off extreme damage with close monitoring, ongoing remediation and a growing inventory of de-watering wells, which pump out water from underground.

Kirsten Dobroth is the Alaska reporter for Undercurrent News, which is a commercial fishing and seafood industry trade magazine. She’s been reporting on what this means just ahead of salmon season. The Federal Emergency Management Agency recently awarded the city a $23.3-million grant to fund a long-term remediation project aimed at slowing the landslide, but that work is not expected to start until 2025.

Waves tore through the boatyard at Pebbly Beach on the east end of Catalina Island, upending boats and scattering lumber across the area. Rolling Hills Estates aims to shore up the slope that failed in July and destroyed eight homes. But as winter approaches, residents fear heavy rain and renewed disaster. The Rolling Hills Estates landslide in July made some homes unlivable. Rancho Palos Verdes is trying to secure state and federal aid after three more slides. The neighborhoods where Reeves and McKay live around the Portuguese Bend Riding Club have moved an average of 4 feet in the last 15 months, Phipps said.

There are approximately 400 homes in the area of the expanding landslides, with dozens already seeing damage, Phipps said. Officials know that water is fueling the increasing land movement — infiltrating layers of clay, softening it — but stopping moisture from entering the ground is extremely difficult during repeated, record-setting rainstorms. Residents are facing another wet winter storm this week, heightening concerns that new rainfall could exacerbate what’s quickly becoming an emergency situation. And the opportunists at the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority (MRCA), the agency now overseeing the beach, jumped at their chance.

The building was a popular filming location, with hundreds of commercials recorded at or around the structure. Movies and television shows had also been filmed at the location.

A Midwestern boy at heart, he was raised in St. Louis and studied journalism at the University of Missouri. Before joining The Times as an intern in 2017, he wrote for the Columbia Missourian and Politico Europe. The house is a minimalist masterpiece, a modern concoction of concrete and glass envisioned by art collector William Bell, who bought the property for $14.5 million in 2003. For the design, he brought in Japanese architect Tadao Ando, a Pritzker Prize winner responsible for impressive concrete structures across Asia, Europe and North America. Jay-Z and Beyoncé just shattered California’s price record, paying $200 million for a striking concrete compound overlooking the ocean in Malibu, according to TMZ.

No doubt that’s still a noxious motivator for at least a few people who want to limit access to the shore. On regular walks we’d see Flip Wilson, the No. 1 TV comedian of the time, out on his deck, sometimes resplendent in a robe. O’Neal, star of the totemic movie “Love Story,” reacted with admirable restraint when our feral dog, Dingo, gave chase one day and knocked the jogging star right on his butt.

She said she was infuriated when a local woman wanted to know if the newcomers were launching a beach cleanup; then started snapping pictures. Twenty-first century beach visitors don’t need our underground entryway. With the fence down, they can get from car to surf in less than a minute. Yet the Cove remained blocked by that rusted, tattered fence. The Coastal Conservancy had no staff prepared to open it to the public. That’s when the conservancy passed the lot (and an adjoining parcel purchased to widen the access) to yet another pair of state agencies.

What many students love is how Cove Student Housing offers small groups and not mass floor housing. We believe small groups are key to having an optimal experience. Visitors should know that the law doesn’t allow them to trespass under people’s homes, even for shade. Public easements allow visitors along most of the beach, but generally not within 10 feet of people’s homes.

A Sober Living That Cares About the Outcomes

A native of Guatemala, he got his start in journalism by writing for The Times’ Homicide Report in 2007. He helped uncover the financial corruption in the city of Bell that led to criminal charges against eight city officials. The 2010 investigative series won the Pulitzer Prize for public service and other prestigious awards. But keeping King Cove closed will have a regional impact, too. Fishermen outside of that local fleet have historically delivered to the King Cove plant depending on the species and price at any given point. So, I think there’s a lot of people that are anxiously awaiting word on when things will be back up and running.

Our menu features 28 days of wet-aged USDA Prime steaks cooked in a 1,500-degree broiler served sizzling hot with clarified butter on plates heated to 450 degrees. At Mastro's we have an array of the freshest seafood selections, like our 2-foot-tall seafood tower of chilled crab legs, shrimp and oysters served over a cloud of dry-ice. Bespoke cocktails are dramatically presented in a haze of dry-ice, the list of world-class wine is extensive, and of course, Mastro’s has a premium selection of beer available.

She loves how the Malibu accessways draw people from inland neighborhoods that lack open space. Finally, sometime after I’d moved away to college, the beach elitists surreptitiously had another chain-link fence installed across the tunnel entrance. A unanimous California Court of Appeal rejected their complaints. The three luminaries planned to knock down two homes, each, along neighboring Carbon Beach (now often called Billionaire’s Beach) to erect much larger homes. In exchange for permission to build, the magnates agreed in 2000 to donate a piece of the Cove to compensate for the “visual resource” their huge homes robbed from the public. A revolution arrived along the California coast in 1972, when voters approved Proposition 20, a ballot measure that grew out of concern about unchecked development.
