Small Town Noir: A Walk in The Suisun City Sun: Urban and Nature Photography Part 3













Christmas Day 25, 2016: I was staying briefly at my parents house in Fairfield Ca after breakfast including an energy drink cherry flavor I decided to take a morning walk to the marsh-side town of Suisun City. A sort of pleasant experience as the cool breeze brushed against my face walking down Sunset Avenue beforehand doing an errand at Wells Fargo Bank.

Arrival To Main St


Arriving into the almost vacant town of Suisun City I took a photo-shoot of this newly renovated Amtrak Station. The “colonnade style” station began operations in 1914 servicing the towns of Fairfield/Suisun City. Due to the holiday of Christmas the town was void of any pedestrian activity except for a few folks that was fishing on the city plaza. 






           The Main st corridor consisted of a handful of historical buildings, and small vacant lots that gives off an appearance of a ghost town. Suisun City located between The larger town of Fairfield Ca and Marshlands as a result urban and suburban growth is very limited to certain areas which can be a good thing as the natural environment needs to be preserved as much as possible though I am pro-growth. In the 1970-1989 era the town experienced a great hardship involving the downtown A redevelopment master plan was put forth by the city to bring economic activity back into the small town even though little to nothing was done until the 1990's with the development of Suisun City Marina.

  Rebuilt in 1994 the Suisun City Marina provides 150 rental berthing slips along with a 300 ft guest dock and boat launch ramps at the south end of the marina.
The Harbormaster building is located at 800 Kellogg Street. Visiting boaters and guests can contact the Harbor Master at (707)-429-2628(BOAT) for more information about berthing, launching a boat, or general info.

The Suisun Channel was dredged providing deep-water access for most recreational boats. The Channel itself provides direct access to the waterways of the California Delta and San Francisco Bay. The slough winds through the Suisun Marsh, which is one of the largest contiguous wetland preserves in the nation. The 84,000-acre Marsh, the largest remaining coastal wetland in California, lures nature-lovers, fishermen, hunters, and all categories of boaters.


The Suisun Channel and Marsh boasts outstanding sturgeon and striped bass fishing; excellent sightseeing and bird-watching, and fabulous waters for pleasure boating, cruising, water skiing, jet skiing, kayaking or any other water related activity. Guests are welcome to explore the area!

The Matthew McKinley was brought to Suisun City in 2008 by Northbay Charters, the owners of the 100-foot-long Lady of Suisun, which only stayed a year before weighing anchor and departing for Oakland. After the Lady of Suisun left, the Matthew McKinley was parked in Whispering Bay, where Stone found her.

Tai Lopez Featured Post: Check out this $87,000,000 bathtub (I took a picture)


The other day, while checking out property in New York City, I took a photo of a bathtub inside of the second-tallest residential property in the world.

Check it out...

 

Haha...

Can you imagine taking a bath in there?

Anyway, I thought it was pretty cool to see. The location next to the place I was looking sold for $87 million.

Kinda cool, right?

Now—I’m not sharing my lifestyle to show off about materialistic things, like expensive bathtubs in highrise buildings. Rather, my intention today to show you what’s possible when you build the life you want, instead of resigning to the life you’ve been given.

It’s easy to get lost in life and it wasn’t that long ago when I was dead broke and sleeping on a couch. I never went to college and back then I didn’t have more than $47 in my bank account.

Fast-forward to today — I’m checking out properties all around the world.

The other property I looked at in New York had a 15,000-watt entertainment system.

While this is cool and all, what’s more important than the materialistic things, is freedom. Because I have the freedom to do what I want, I’m able to spend more time with my friends and family. Since today’s Christmas, I wanted to share with you how you too can have as much freedom as you desire in your life.

This is a proven principle I used that took me from broke to rich...

It’s called the Law of 33% and you can immediately use it today. Once you start using it, it will benefit you for the rest of your life.

The Law of 33% says you should spend 33% of your time with the following 3 types of people:

-33% with people “below you” — less fortunate, people you can teach, etc.
-33% with people on your level  — similar experience, equal financial status, etc.
-33% with people 20 years ahead of you — people with more life experience, make more money, etc.

All of the above are equally important, but the last 33% — people who are 20 years ahead of you — will give you the biggest results.

For example, earlier this year, I had dinner with a business colleague who is a money-making machine. From just an hour-long conversation, he’d given me food for thought about business and marketing for days, weeks, and even months. That’s how powerful the Law of 33% is; just one conversation could change your life.

Now I realize you might not have access to mentors, but not having access is something I can help you with.

With my online educational programs, like this one that’s closing soon, I’m connecting you to the brightest and most-successful people I know in a series of various industries.

I don’t let everyone access my programs. I periodically open and close them because I only want people to join who are serious about improving their life. By making availability limited, I’m making sure to only attract people who are devoted.

One of the greatest things about the Law of 33% is it isn’t *just* about money...

You can also apply the Law of 33% to:

-Reduce stress
-Improve your network
-Get in better shape
-Live a happier life
-Achieve anything you desire

The Law of 33% is why I hire the best mentors and coaches to help me out. Whenever I want to learn a new skill, I seek out the best of the best to teach me. With this program, you too can have access to guidance and expertise to improve your life forever.

If you’ve one of these people who’ve been asking me for help for getting ahead in 2017, I strongly encourage you to implement the Law of 33% in your life as much as you possibly can.

Before I wrap this up, I wanted to share this quote from Henry Thoreau.

I want you to ponder this before you go back to spending time with your family...

“The mass of men live quiet lives of desperation.”

Most people let their fears get the best of them.

Don’t let this happen to you...

Don’t be someone who resigns in life by sticking to the status quo...

Don’t get discouraged...

Implement the Law of 33% in your life... ASAP, and thank me later.
When you’re ready to change your life (for the better, use this).
Stay Strong (and Merry Christmas),
Tai

P.S. Someone recently sent me a video about how he’s now making $6,000 a month with this program.

He was just 19 years old!

With the internet, your age or location. All that matters is your willingness to improve your life.

P.P.S. This Christmas, don’t forget to buy something for yourself... something you can put to use, get you paid, and give you the freedom to spend as much time as you wish with friends and family.

If you’d like my help, this program has everything you need — but you must act fast, because it’ll no longer be available after New Year's Eve.

Merry Weavemas Yall LOL

A Visit to Ocean Beach

On the 4th of July 2016 I went on a 2 day trip from Fairfield Ca to San Francisco for the Independence Day Holiday. The City has it's share of  The good, bad , and ugly but overall it was a okay experience. Riding the MUNI  lightrail line #L to Ocean Beach and as usual it was a very foggy day. 





                                    Golden Gate Park

DUTCH WINDMILL

Located on the far western edge of Golden Gate Park stand two wooden windmills that were built to pump groundwater for irrigating the park’s lawns and gardens, helping to transform the dunes that once covered the area. After lobbying by Park Superintendent John McLaren and others, the North, or Dutch, Windmill was built in 1902. It was such a success that it was followed by the South, or Murphy, Windmill, begun in 1905 and completed in 1907 after delays caused by the 1906 earthquake.




The Chinese Garden Park

Chinese Garden Park was originally known as Harrison Square when the city was laid out, and was known as Harrison Railroad Park from 1967 until the 1990s. After the trains were removed, the Hall of Pioneers was designed by Henry Chang, Jr., an architect and former City Councilmember who also designed the Silver Dragon Restaurant and other buildings in ChinatownWilliam Wong wrote the text for the exhibit. Now the building is used by Family Bridges; it was formerly one of two sites for Family Bridges' Hong Lok Senior Center, but is now part of the Lake Merritt Child Care Center.

Small Town Noir Campbell Ca In Photos Part 1









Brief History 



 Benjamin Campbell, Campbell's founder, came west in 1846 with his family. His father, William, is noted for having surveyed the cities of San Jose and Santa Clara, and for starting a sawmill near the town of Saratoga. In 1851, Benjamin Campbell bought 160 acres and planted it with hay and grain. This acreage later became Campbell's historical downtown core.

 1878
In 1878, Mr. Campbell sold an acre of his land for $5 to the railroad and by 1887 the first subdivision was recorded west of the railroad from Campbell Avenue to the spot where the Water Tower Plaza now stands. The area became the center for shipping fruit, and within a short period of time, the drying grounds and canneries made Campbell an important rail center. The Campbell Fruit Growers' Union became a well known cooperative with its 17-acre drying yard.
Canneries
There were three major canneries in Campbell such as the J.C. Ainsley Packing Company, Hyde Cannery, and Payne Cannery. Most of the output of high quality fruit from the Ainsley Cannery was shipped to England. Ainsley Park, located between Harrison and the railroad tracks, commemorates the man and his cannery. Of special interest in the park are two giant black walnut trees that were planted by the Swope family, descendants of Benjamin Campbell.

Bank of Campbell
With all the industry, Campbell needed a bank, and in 1895, the Bank of Campbell was established at the corner of Campbell and Central Avenues. The Bank of Campbell, now called the Farley Building, is Campbell's oldest commercial building.
