I bet you Chicagoans pronounce the β€˜t’ in Sacramento. Here in California we rarely pronounce it in area names.
Sanna Barbara
Sanna Ana
etc.

Walked around Santa Ana on Saturday. Always fun when I discover an awesome building that I didn't even know existed. Now the Rafferty Apartments. As you can see they kept the Art Deco front & put a massive apartment complex behind it. #ArtDeco #SantaAna #California #Rafferty

Chicago & Illinois Art Deco - Google My Maps Art Deco in the Chicago Area that I am aware of. I'm sure there's a lot more out there than this. Green Marker with Dot means I have seen it, personally..

Awesome: of course I put on top with a bullet & credit: www.google.com/maps/d/edit?...

Corner shot, with gate visible in foreground, of three-story school building, tan brick with light gray terra cotta. Many piers and vertical ridges on facade.

Color photo of an entrance to a three-story building in tan brick, with gray terra cotta around entrance and on parapet. Entrance section has a blue speckled arch above the front door and tall windows separated by green spandrels. Decoration on parapet (triangles, barely visible flowers, and segments ending in irregular pentagons) look Art Deco. Snow on the ground in pic.

More children should have the experience of learning in an Art Deco environment. Sayre Language Academy, 1850 N. Newland (John C. Christensen, 1928-29).

Relief above entryway of the #Hoquiam Municipal Court Bldg in #WashingtonState #ArtDeco If you zoom in you can see all sorts of neat details: a freight (lumber?) truck, a salmon, a ship, smokestacks, silos, train cars. Lower left I can make out the date [1929] but not the artist name. πŸ“Έ:me/2024

The #MayanRevival Aztec Hotel in #Monrovia , #california along Route 66, yes, the same one Bobby Troop & Depeche Mode implored us to get our kicks on. It hasn’t been operating as a hotel for about 20 years, but it’s not abandoned: there is a bar & grill and barber shop up in the front.πŸ“Έ:me/2016

I was there Saturday to look at the breeze blocks & didn’t notice the stolen C at that point because I thought it fell down months ago or something. Sad sad sad, with an extra helping of disgusting.
