PEACOCK: NBC Universal FREE!
2025-10-24 | Online, Los Angeles
THE BEST OF NBC UNIVERSAL– Stream Free Online
Introducing Peacock TV. The New Streaming Service from NBC Universal is FREE as a bird. Now on Roku!

Fame, identity, Corvettes — Angelyne, the self-proclaimed Rorschach test in pink, takes over Los Angeles billboards in the mid-1980s as an enigmatic blonde bombshell, ushering in the era of famous-for-being-famous influencer culture.
Starring Emmy Rossum, Martin Freeman, Alex Karpovsky

Peacock is the new premium streaming service run by NBCUniversal. It was released in mid-2020 under the ownership of Comcast. It’s home to exemplary and ongoing shows from NBCUniversal’s different transmission and cable networks, alongside films from Universal Pictures, Dreamworks Animation, and Focus Features.
The service will act as an all-inclusive resource for NBC Universal content and will flaunt a noteworthy library of NBC comedies and shows, live games, and new unique content.

NBC’s Peacock TV
has a wide range of price and streaming plans. Peacock has three levels of service: Free, Premium, and Premium Plus. The Free level has a subset of the content of the upper two levels and focuses on its clients with advertising. The middle level, Peacock Premium, has advertising too yet gives the full library of content. In both advertisement upheld levels, ads are restricted to five minutes out of every hour. The upper level, Peacock Premium Plus, gives the full library without promotions or adverts. Peacock Free is accessible at no charge to all U.S. clients. Peacock Premium is accessible as a month to month membership and is also included in certain services from TV service providers including Xfinity and Cox.

Peacock TV is unusual and unique among its rivals in that it has a free plan. It additionally stands out among the harvest of new services in that it’ll have live games and news; a large portion of the most current real-time features are centered solidly around video-on-demand amusement along the lines of Netflix.
Up until now, Peacock has joined by 22 million accounts till the end of September. That incorporates individuals who enlisted with Peacock when it turned out to Comcast pay-TV clients in April, just as new individuals who’ve joined since its public release on July 15.

Thanks to the free plan, it doesn’t cost anything to give it a shot for yourself. On the off chance that you love NBC’s way of programming or you need more huge named movies to stream – and particularly if Netflix has spoiled you into despising ads- you may wind up paying for one more streaming service.

The Nethercutt Museum
2025-10-24 09:00 - 16:30 | The Nethercutt Museum & Collection, 15151 Bledsoe Street, Sylmar, CA, 91342, United States
FREE EVERY THURSDAY – SUNDAY- Sylmar

Founder JB Nethercutt spent a lifetime establishing this collection of historic importance. Unique to automobile museums, each car on display is attentively serviced and maintained to remain as drivable as when the vehicle originally rolled off the showroom floor. On view are various Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance winners and cars once owned by movie stars, royalty and other notable personalities.

Building ONE: The Nethercutt Museum FREE!
The entire collection is housed in two beautifully appointed exhibit facilities located just north of Los Angeles. Housed in the Museum is the Nethercutt Automotive Research Library and Archives , one of the world’s top automotive research facilities. Just steps outside the Museum are a resplendently restored steam locomotive and railcar.
Opened in 1971, The Nethercutt Collection is a not-for-profit educational institution and a resource for automobile enthusiasts, historians, students and scholars. It is open to the public at no charge. The Nethercutt Museum showcases more than 130 of the world’s greatest antique, vintage, classic and special interest automobiles including many top winners of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

THE ANTIQUE ERA (1890s – 1915)
Innovation and experimentation were at the heart of this era and provided the catalyst for the automobiles’ development. By the late-19th century, “horseless carriages” were being built by small groups of artisans, craftsmen and engineers on a small scale, with many taking characteristics from the wagons they were replacing.

THE VINTAGE ERA (1916 – 1924)
A class of cars that came to be known today as “vintage,” fits in between the expensive coach built brands that became classics and the inexpensive models represented by Ford, Chevrolet and Dodge. These cars sold for between $500 and $2,000. They had basic engineering features but had better cosmetic appointments such as visors, cigar lighters and wool broadcloth interiors.

THE CLASSIC ERA (1925 – 1948)
This era elevated the common automobile to a status symbol, as evidenced by their cost. When common vehicles sold for $400 to about $1,200, the classic car had a price tag of $2,000 to $20,000.

THE POST-WAR ERA (1945 – 1970s)
Throughout the 1950s, engine power and vehicle speeds rose, designs became better integrated and more stylized, and cars grew more popular across the world. The auto market slightly shifted in the 1960s, causing Detroit to worry about foreign competition. European makers adopted even greater technology and Japan appeared as a serious car-producing nation.

THE MUSEUM LOCOMOTIVE & PRIVATE CAR
1937 Canadian Pacific Royal Hudson Locomotive #2839:
#2839 was built by Montreal Locomotive Works and is resplendent in its Royal maroon, gold leaf, gloss black and brushed stainless steel livery, is a testament to the grand era of steam locomotive engineering. The Hudson type is a 4-6-4 wheel arrangement and was a high-speed passenger locomotive with a top speed of 90 mph.
1912 Pullman Private Car #100 California:
Custom built by Pullman in Chicago, Illinois for Clara Baldwin Stocker the eldest Daughter of local Pioneer “Lucky” Baldwin. This railcar has been beautifully restored back to 1912
Building TWO: The Nethercutt Collection: Available by Tour Only advanced reservations are required- $10

Lower Salon

The Lower Salon is where guests assemble to start the guided tour. The salon is a microcosm of the entire collection. There are about 25 automobiles dating from the early 1900’s up till the late 1940’s. Also in display are nickelodeons, music boxes, David Winter Cottages, Dolls, Coins, and crystal figurines.

Grand Salon

Marble columns, crystal chandeliers, painted ceilings all make up this beautiful Grand Salon Showroom of the 1910’s, 20 and 30s. On display are approx. 30 of the finest automoblies of that era. Duesenbergs, Cadillacs, Isotta-Fraschini, Delahaye, Minvera, Renault, Maybach, many other European and American built automoblies.

Automobile Collectibles and Antiques

On the third floor is a large assortment of Radiator Hood Ornaments “Mascots”, including Lalique Crystal Mascots and 18th & 19th Century French Furniture

Instruments

This area displays a world-class collection of automated mechanical instruments including musical repeat striking watches, Swiss bird boxes, cylinder and disc music boxes, and grand pianos.

The Venice Heritage Museum’s mission is to preserve, showcase, and nurture Venice’s diverse cultural heritage and history.

VHM is a place for discovery, displaying Venice’s accepting and progressive legacy and highlighting both well-known and untold histories. In the face of constant change, VHM aims to be an inclusive hub to celebrate the diverse cultures and unique facets of Venice’s culture and history.

Living Heritage

Cultural Representation

Providing a permanent platform for Venice’s diverse communities, highlighting both well-known and untold histories.
Representing historical legacies through the words, images, and ephemera of community members themselves.

Strengthening Community

Improving the lives of local community members, other Angelenos, and visitors by deepening and enriching their understanding of Venice.

Serving as a common ground where all attendees can meet and gather to celebrate the Venice community’s unique culture.

Empowering Youth

Educating and empowering young people to take pride in their community, their family histories, and the stories of cultural innovators who have lived and worked in Venice
Nurturing youth to write the next chapter of the Venice history by becoming cultural stewards and storytellers in their own right

Public Knowledge Production

VHM is interested in the full range of the heritage of Venetians. This range includes inherited traditions of tangible and intangible culture, as well as contemporary activities, meanings, and behaviors that we draw from them.​
As part of fulfilling our mission, VHM preserves and highlights the cultural and collective stories of Venetians. Our work is to curate and collect stories, artifacts, memorabilia, and memories and through them tell the stories/histories of the Venice community. VHM is interested to preserve source materials and produce new knowledge that is accessible to the communities and institutions that seek access to them.

​Venice’s heritage is uniquely rich, as so many people in Venice come from different backgrounds. Over 115+ years, Venice has experienced cultural shifts and economic turbulence, and yet common threads are still found within the community. It is those shared commonalities that make all of us Venetians.

The public museum as understood today is a collection of specimens and other objects of interest to the scholar, the man of science, and the more casual visitor, arranged and displayed in accordance with the scientific method. In its original sense, the term “museum” meant a spot dedicated to the muses – “a place where man’s mind could attain a mood of aloofness above everyday affairs.” By far the most important museum of antiquity was the great institution at Alexandria founded by Ptolemy Philadelphus in the third century before Christ, (an endeavor supported by a grant from the treasury). And no treatment of the museum would be complete without mention of Noah’s Ark in which we find the complete Museum of Natural History the world has ever seen.
The Museum of Jurassic Technology traces its origins to this period when many of the essential collections of today were beginning to take form. Many exhibits which we today have come to know as part of the Museum were, in fact, formally part of other less well-known collections and were subsequently consolidated into the single collection which we have come to know as The Museum of Jurassic Technology and thus configured, received great public acclaim as well as much discussion in scholastic circles.

AMIR’S GARDEN
2025-10-25 | Amir’s Garden, Mineral Wells Road & Griffith Park Drive, Los Angeles, CA, 90027, United States
OPEN YEAR ROUND- Griffith Park
The Trail to Amir’s Garden is a 1.1 mile heavily trafficked loop trail located LA’s Griffith Park. This shady rest stop and memorial garden features beautiful wild flowers and water-bearing, fire-resistive succulents interspersed with natives and memorial trees and plants. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, running, nature trips, and horses and is accessible year-round. It is rated as moderately difficult trail. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

The gardens are cared for by official volunteers since its creation in 1971. Amir’s Garden is considered a rest stop and not a dedicated picnic area, therefore it can’t be reserved for events. The nearest restrooms are located at Mineral Wells Picnic Area. Activities related to the care of a large garden may be taking place at any time, including watering. Amir’s Garden is a most pleasant place for a hike-in picnic, with a selection of picnic tables.

The History of Amir’s Garden
Amir Dialameh worked a steep hill in Griffith Park for than three decades with a pick and shovel and turned a scorched, barren landscape into a lush, shaded grove that is visited daily by a steady stream of hikers and horseback riders.
For thirty-two years, Dialameh worked in the garden most days of the week, hiking up a service road to the rugged Mineral Wells location. Over the years, he planted pine and jacaranda trees along with rose bushes, geraniums, oleander, and yucca that grew into the beautiful oasis it is today.
“…what you need first and foremost here is shade,” Dialameh explained in 1989. “That’s why I planted trees like the jacaranda. In ten years, this place will be covered with their branches.”
His words were prophetic. Today Amir’s Garden is nearly five-acres of shady rest stop for Griffith Park’s hikers and equestrians.
Dialameh first came to appreciate nature as a child during hiking trips in the Alborz Mountains of his native Iran. As his love of hiking and nature developed, so did his affinity for the United States of America.
“I was intrigued by the volunteerism that built this country… people doing things instead of relying on the government.” In 1963 while visiting his brother in Pittsburgh, Dialameh made the ultimate decision to immigrate and moved to the Los Angeles area.

Getting There

The hike to Amir’s Garden actually begins near one of Griffith Park’s larger picnic areas, Mineral Well Picnic Area. Find the dirt service road heading west from the intersection of Griffith Park Drive and Mineral Wells Road.
Walk straight through an immediate junction and follow the dirt road on a southwestern climb to Amir’s Garden. After a horseshoe bend in the road, and a quarter mile from the start, you will pass a water tower that is accompanied by broad views stretching beyond Griffith Park toward Glendale, the Verdugo Mountains, and San Gabriel Mountains.

Looking back down the trail
After less than half a mile, the trail arrives at Amir’s Garden where you’ll discover a pocket of tall sycamores arcing over a mountainside of verdant plants including succulents like ice plant and jade. There are a few picnic tables at the entrance of Amir’s Garden and others hidden throughout.

Amir’s Garden

Stroll through a web of footpaths and recharge your batteries in this refreshing Griffith Park retreat. With extra effort, you may continue up North Trail toward Mount Hollywood, Mount Bell and other peaks in Griffith Park. Otherwise, return the way you came for a satisfying 1-mile round trip hike. No fee or permit is required to hike to Amir’s Garden and dogs are welcome.

To get to the trailhead: Take the 5 Freeway to the Los Feliz Boulevard exit. Drive west on Los Feliz Boulevard to the first light and turn north on Crystal Springs Road. After 1.5 miles, turn left on Griffith Park Drive and drive 1.2 miles to the intersection with Mineral Wells Road. Turn left onto Mineral Wells Road and park immediately in the spaces along the road. The trail to Amir’s Garden heads west from the intersection of Mineral Wells Road and Griffith Park Drive.
Trailhead address: Mineral Wells Road & Griffith Park Drive, Griffith Park, Los Angeles, CA 90027

Flight Path Museum at LAX
2025-10-25 12:00 - 16:00 | Flight Path Museum
OPEN SATURDAYS & SUNDAYS- LAX
The Flight Path Museum & Learning Center is an aviation and aerospace museum with unique artifacts and views of the LAX runway. Flight Path Learning Center of Southern California was founded in 1995 as a nonprofit, community-based organization to honor aviation pioneers, recognize the economic importance of aviation and aerospace to Southern California, and encourage youth to pursue education and careers in aviation-related fields. The kickoff project was a series of sidewalk plaques in the LAX business district saluting aviation pioneers, organizations and locations. This “Flight Path” is the aviation equivalent of the famed Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Unique among the fine aviation museums in Southern California is the Flight Path Museum’s location, the only aviation museum and research center situated at a major airport and the only facility with a primary emphasis on contributions of civil aviation to the history and development of Southern California.

The Flight Path Museum gallery of exhibits, filled with memories of aviation’s golden years, is located adjacent to the LAX airfield, where today’s aircraft and travelers arrive and depart the world’s busiest origin and destination airport. No other museum offers such a perspective on contemporary aircraft and aviation.

Exhibits

COMMERCIAL AVIATION HISTORY EXHIBIT

The Flight Path museum houses an extensive collection of airline artifacts from the beginning of the commercial aviation era to present day. Experience the glamour of flight at the dawn of long-haul travel.

FLIGHT CREW UNIFORM EXHIBIT

Flight Path has over 600 uniforms from 68 airlines from around the world covering most of commercial flight history. Several pieces were special editions to mark specific events. Several of the uniforms are on display, while others can be viewed by request in the archive.

DC-3 PLANE EXHIBIT

The Douglas DC-3 is a propeller-driven airliner which had a lasting effect on the airline industry in the 1930s/1940s and World War II. It was developed as a larger, improved 14-bed sleeper version of the Douglas DC-2. It is a low-wing metal monoplane with a tailwheel landing gear, with a cruise speed of 207 mph (333 km/h), commercial capacity of 21 to 32 passengers or 6,000 lbs (2,700 kg) of cargo, a range of 1,500 mi (2,400 km), and could operate from short runways.

The Aircraft was displayed for many years at the California Science Center in Exposition Park in Los Angeles. It has been on loan to the Flight Path Museum LAX since September 2006.

SPACE EXPLORATION EXHIBIT

Astronaut Flight Suit
Space Debris
Model Rockets
Tribute to 50 years since the Apollo Program

Flight Path hosts the Space Exploration Gallery that spotlights the history and development of space flight. The gallery showcases a colorful and informative timeline of space exploration history together with a number of important space artifacts. Included is the flight suit of astronaut Gen. Kevin P. Chilton, commander of the Endeavour and Atlantis space shuttles.
There is an extension to the exhibit in the entrance courtyard where a piece from a spacecraft that has re-entered the atmosphere can be observed.

FLYING TIGERS EXHIBIT

Flying Tiger Line, also known as Flying Tigers, was the first scheduled cargo airline in the United States and a major military charter operator during the Cold War era for both cargo and personnel. The airline was bought by Federal Express in 1988.

The airline was named after the Flying Tigers fighter unit of World War II, officially the 1st American Volunteer Group. Ten former AVG pilots formed the Flying Tiger Line (established as National Skyway Freight) after returning to the United States in 1945, using a small fleet of Budd Company C-93 Conestoga freighters purchased as war surplus from the United States Navy. The pilots and two ground crew provided half of the initial investment, with the balance coming from California oil tycoon Samuel B. Mosher. For the next four years, Flying Tiger Line carried air freight on contract throughout the U.S. and, as the airline expanded, carrying supplies to U.S. troops under Gen. Douglas MacArthur during the occupation of Japan.

FIRE FIGHTING VEHICLE EXHIBIT

On permanent display on the airside of the museum is a retied ARFF (Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting) truck used at LAX. The Oshkosh M3000 model was manufactured by Oshkosh Corporation in Appleton, Wisconsin and entered service at LAX in 1995, it stayed in operation for about a decade and a half. Maximum operating load is 148,000lbs, 3,000 gallons of water and 500 gallons of foam. Made to reach potential accidents sites at top speed, it reached speeds of 50mph in a sprint.

Today, ARFF operations at LAX are conducted out of one station near the center of the airport, Station 80 is a part of the Los Angeles Fire Department. They currently operate six Panther trucks manufactured by Rosenbauer America. In addition to ARFF operations, there is a city fire-station that responds to EMS and non-ARFF emergencies on the airfield located within the airport operations area adjacent to Sepulveda Blvd.
