You must travel to the site to believe what this blog is for. It does speak to the durability and adaptability of tile.

Vegas


The other day William and I visited a customer in the City of Industry. Can I say "Industry"? Can you say I live in "Culver" or must you say Culver City. Back to point. We crossed over the 60 freeway into Roland Heights (nice Name). Found this great looking shopping center. Pictures to follow. We ate at this Korean restaurant which I will push William to write about and I will link to. Good story there.

There was this great outdoor common eating area. My question is after seeing the picture is the common area designed to look like an European City or a Vegas Casino recreating a European city.

Visit San Clemente I hear they have beautiful sidewalks

La Canada Valley Sun: La Canada Flintridge, California: "Ole Hanson founded the 'Spanish Village by the Sea' way back in 1925 with strict guidelines that called for Spanish colonial architecture with red tile roofs and white plaster. In other words, Hanson proposed a theme town before theme towns were cool."

The strict guidelines are still here today. Arto Brick is the specified product to repair the city sidewalks of San Clemente. I will have some pictures up soon.

Oh by the way ... visit San Clememente it is good looking.

Ambassador Hotel more than just another relic - Opinions

This debate. History versus usefulness. Both sides over state and then who do you believe?

Arto my father trained us a recyclers and in worst case scenarios "tear it down" .

Hey I live in Los Angeles.

Cal Poly to Exhibit Historic Building Materials

Cal Poly to Exhibit Historic Building Materials: "To me, these ancient building components made of simple natural materials express the unbound creativity of man and tell stories of the social, political and economic nature of the time", said Weisenthal.

Weisenthal speaking of materials from a time period between 1890 and 1930. This is the passion of simplicity that I love. We do very little to our product and what we do to it is done by the hands of men.
