Riverside Art Museum Presents PST: LA/LA Exhibit Focused On IE Architecture The Riverside Art Museum (RAM) proudly presents Myth & Mirage: Inland Southern California, Birthplace of the Spanish Colonial Revival, running September 22, 2017 – January 28, 2018, with a free, open-to-the-public Joint Opening Reception on Saturday, September 30, 2017, from 6 p.m. – 9 p.m., with UCR ARTSblock. The Spanish Colonial Revival has been part of the aesthetic fabric of Southern California for over 100 years.

Myth & Mirage presents a tour through the Inland Southern California SCR landscape with its rich stylistic details and exoticized architectural forms, and showcases the creations of the mythmakers who, from the 1880s through the 1930s, fabricated a marketable past SEE PAGE 16

"The Red Car Greenway is going to be a great new open space for local residents,” said Mayor Robert Garcia. “It will connect many neighborhoods in East Long Beach and provide much needed green space and recreational opportunities.” The Red Car Greenway is a 3.66-acre project that will consist of a ten-foot wide decorative concrete pedestrian walking trail and drought-tolerant native

landscaping on the former Pacific Electric (PE) Rightof-Way (ROW) between Park Avenue and Ximeno Avenue. The Project will feature a trailhead at the entrance on Fourth Street at Park Avenue, and will be crossed by a bike path at Sixth Street, which connects to the City’s bike route network. “The Red Car Greenway has been an empty lot for years, so I am very excited to help turn it into beautiful open space that connects Greenbelt Heights Park that was opened last September, all the way to Colorado Lagoon and Marine Stadium,”
