The Old Mill and the Langham
A reader was worried and so was I about the current state and the future of the California plein-aire-style paintings on panels by Frank Moore, painted in 1922 and then left out in ... the plain air, though under the covered Picture Bridge at the Huntington Hotel -- all this after I wrote about coming changes to the hotel under its current Langham ownership.
I went on a tour of the bridge with General Manager Martin Nicholson and PR Director Elsa Schelin the other day, and, considering how old the panels are and that they've seen some weather, the more than a dozen paintings are in remarkably good shape.
Even those facing the west, which seem to have got more rain down the decades, are not looking disastrous. They could use a certain amount of restoration -- but none are beyond repair.
The panel above depicts the Old Mill -- El Molino Viejo, if you prefer -- a very early San Gabriel Valley grain mill that was later owned by Henry Huntington, served as a clubhouse for the hotel's now-disappeared golf course and was even later lived in by Huntington's grand-daughter Harriet Doerr and her family.
The bridge is still very much in the plans for the new version of the hotel, which will lose tennis courts and gain lots of spa buildings.

Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.

I can't picture where this is. I really want to get a look at it (despite the lighting...).
Posted by: Petrea Burchard | July 30, 2010 9:29 PM
You are right, Pasadena Adjacent.
Plans for the renovation should include museum-style art lighting for these wonderful panels. Not Ralph's grocery florescents!

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, however not as good as the iPod's. It really works effectively, however is not as quick as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. In case you occasionally plan on utilizing the online browser that's not an issue, however when you're planning to browse the net alot from your PMP then the iPod's bigger display screen and better browser could also be important.

I am going to gear this evaluation to 2 forms of folks: present Zune owners who're contemplating an upgrade, and other people attempting to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are different players price contemplating out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this offers you sufficient data to make an knowledgeable resolution of the Zune vs players aside from the iPod line as well.)
