leave a comment on unusual sculptures by escondido s valley parkway home of the golden era in san diego the golden era was a literary newspaper that originated in san francisco in 1852 it was notable for publishing pieces by renowned western authors like mark twain and bret harte in 1887 the periodical then a monthly magazine was brought by james harrison wagner to downtown san diego it occupied the first floor of a building that stands at 919 fourth avenue in today s gaslamp quarter much of its focus then would concern the development of san diego and the west in the late 19th century a historical plaque describes the lawyer s block building 1889 before its completion 20 spaces of this building s second floor were rented to some of early san diego s best known lawyers making this an unofficial headquarters for litigators the first floor had a more literary history in 1889 it housed the west coast s pioneer illustrated literary periodical golden era the san diego union also had its offices here with printing presses in the basement to follow my blog find the follow box in this website s sidebar or bookmark coolsandiegosights com and swing on by occasionally if you re viewing

world treasure star of india is one of the most important historic ships in the entire world the maritime museum of san diego maintains 1863 tall ship star of india which is not only the oldest active ship in the world but a united states national historic landmark the beautiful sailing ship an iconic sight on the embarcadero is one of our city s brightest crown jewels local museums are facing a future of difficult funding now imagine a maritime museum that must care for and preserve historic ships that are outdoors in the weather and on the water including star of india ships are expensive to maintain to preserve a world treasure like star of india takes a lot of funds volunteer work and love a few days ago i noticed one volunteer working on the wood deck repairing the inevitable cracks that come from exposure to sun rain and changing temperatures he explained that he was sealing cracks with a special marine sealant and adhesive i also learned the expansive main deck of the star will have to be replaced in the future no small or inexpensive task if you take pride in star of india why not help her by becoming a member of the maritime museum of san diego like myself or you can
