Kitten Bowl Tailgate 
Party Comes to PHS

 The Gold Line offers some fun 
getaways and this is the second 
in a series of destinations and 
events along the Metro that 
standout to us here at the 
Mountain Views News. The 
fair for Metro is $1.75 one way 
and you need to remember to 
have a TAP card (available at 
the train station).

 The Grammy Museum will 
celebrate one of the most 
pivotal years in music — and 
the photographer who captured 
it — with a special limited 
showing of Jim Marshall’s 
1967. Organized by The San 
Francisco Arts Commission 
in conjunction with the 50th 
anniversary of San Francisco’s 
Summer of Love, the exhibition 
will feature a selection of 60 
images from the thousands 
Jim Marshall took while he 
documented history in the 
making. This special exhibition 
will be in the special Exhibits 
Gallery on the second floor 
from March 10, through May 
14,

 “We are honored to partner 
with The San Francisco Arts 
Commission to celebrate the 
50th anniversary of one of 
the most vibrant moments in 
music history — the Summer 
of Love,” said Nwaka Onwusa, 
Grammy Museum Curator. 
“During that year, Jim Marshall 
was equally as important as 
the artists who were making 
history with their voices and 
instruments; his instrument 
was his camera. We are thrilled 
to celebrate Marshall and his 
achievements in capturing a 
memorable moment in music 
and San Francisco history.”

 “San Francisco was a hotbed 
for musical exploration 
and reinvention,” said Scott 
Goldman, Vice President of 
the Grammy Foundation and 
MusiCares, who played a large 
role in bringing the exhibition 
to the Grammy Museum. 
“Through his photographs, 
Jim Marshall told the stories of 
these artists who were coming 
up in the San Francisco music 
scene during this time, the 
impact the Monterey Pop 
Festival had on San Francisco 
and the thousands of music fans 
and youth who were forever 
changed by that year. It was an 
exhilarating time for music, 
and it’s exciting that visitors to 
this exhibition will get to relive 
that through his work.”

 Shown in chronological order, 
the exhibition, co-curated by 
SFAC Galleries Director Meg 
Shiffler and Amelia Davis of 
Jim Marshall Photography LLC, 
features a trove of photographs 
taken by Marshall that capture 
the vitality of the neighborhood 
and the multiple scenes and 
movements that called the 
Haight and San Francisco 
their home. Visitors can follow 
Marshall as he photographs 
some of the most important 
artists of 1967 — from the 
Grateful Dead’s last concert in 
the Haight to an album cover 
for Jefferson Airplane and Jimi 
Hendrix’s historic free concert 
in the Panhandle. 

 The Grammy Museum 
explores and celebrates the 
enduring legacies of all forms 
of music, the creative process, 
the art and technology of 
the recording process, and 
the history of the premier 
recognition of excellence in 
recorded music. The Grammy 
Museum features 30,000 square 
feet of interactive permanent 
and traveling exhibits, with four 
floors of dynamic and engaging 
multimedia presentations, and 
is located within L.A. LIVE, the 
downtown Los Angeles sports, 
entertainment and residential 
district.

 Tickets are available for 
purchase on AXS.com or 
at the Museum Box Office.

 The museum is open Monday – 
Friday 10:30a.m. – 6:30p.m.and 
Saturday – Sunday 10a.m. –

Station, transfer onto the Red 
Line to the Blue Line, take the

As the Falcons and Patriots 
fight to win the Su-purr Bowl, 
animals at the Pasadena 
Humane Society & SPCA 
(PHS) are vying to steal your 
heart at the Pasadena Humane 
Society & SPCA’s Kitten Bowl 
Tailgate Party, a fee-waived 
adoption event sponsored 
by an anonymous donor. 
On Friday, February 3 and 
Saturday, February 4, stop by 
PHS to meet dogs, cats, rabbits 
and other critters hoping to 
score the ultimate touchdown, 
a new home.

 To celebrate the big day, 
shelter pets will take the field 
in a game of epic cuteness. On 
Friday, February 3, join us at 
the 30 yard line in the Neely 
Cat Center to watch adorable 
kittens and cats swat toy 
footballs around in hopes of 
scoring a field goal. Our shelter 
pups will command center 
stage on Saturday, February 
4, as they run football toys 
down the field in our training 
yard in the hopes of scoring a 
touchdown.

 A giant scoreboard located 
near the adoptions office will 
showcase all adoptable pets at 
PHS. A football-themed photo 
booth will be set up outside the 
adoptions office for visitors to 
take photos. Those who share 
their photos with #KittenBowl 
will get a free toy or treat in the 
PHS Shelter Shop.

 The PHS Kitten Bowl Tailgate 
Party is part of a nationwide 
event hosted by North Shore 
Animal League as part of 
Hallmark Channel’s Kitten 
Bowl IV. North Shore Animal 
League is providing free 
giveaways that will be available 
at PHS during the event.

 “We are thrilled to partner 
with North Shore Animal 
League and Hallmark Channel 
to promote pet adoption in 
our community,” says Julie 
Bank, President and CEO of 
the Pasadena Humane Society. 
“Regardless of who you’re 
rooting for in this year’s game, 
finding animals loving homes is 
a huge score.”

 All dogs and cats will be spayed 
or neutered, microchipped and 
receive a set of vaccines before 
going to their new homes. PHS 
will be open during normal 
adoption hours, Friday, 9:00 
a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday, 
9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Regular 
adoption screening applies.

 The Pasadena Humane Society 
& SPCA is located at 361 S. 
Raymond Avenue in Pasadena, 
California. To expedite the 
adoption process, download

website. View all animals at the

Huntington Gets Unique 
Edition of John Muir Writings

 
The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens 
announced Wednesday that it has acquired a unique 10-volume 
edition of The Life and Writings of John Muir (1916–1924) 
that incorporates 260 original photographs—most by Herbert 
W. Gleason (1855–1937), a nature photographer who inspired 
the work of Ansel Adams. The items were purchased at The 
Huntington’s 20th annual Library Collectors’ Council meeting 
held last month.

 The Council also purchased A Monograph on the Genus 
Camellia (1819), an outsize volume containing sumptuous hand-
colored aquatint plates after watercolors by Clara Maria Pope (d. 
1838), one of a small number of women in England who pursued 
an artistic career in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

 Additional purchases included manuscripts by a close member 
of Galileo’s circle and by a U.S. Revolutionary War officer, as well 
as a genealogical roll of arms from the Elizabethan era.

 “During the past two decades, the Library Collectors’ Council 
has helped us acquire more than 100 significant items—including 
rare books, individual manuscripts, archival collections, and 
photographs—and spent nearly $3.9 million doing so,” said David 
Zeidberg, Avery Director of the Library at The Huntington. 

 The Library Collectors’ Council is a group of 43 families who 
assist in the development of the collections by supporting the 
purchase of important works that the Library would not otherwise 
be able to afford.

 Have you noticed something 
different about traffic signal 
boxes around South Pasadena 
lately? For the second year 
in a row the City of South 
Pasadena partnered with the 
South Pasadena Arts Council 
(SPARC) to hire artists to 
create artwork on ten traffic 
signal boxes throughout 
South Pasadena. Ten traffic 
signal boxes were decorated at 
locations across the City.

 The project enhances the visual 
environment of the community 
and extends public art to the 
community in a creative way. 
Traffic signal boxes, usually 
painted drab grey or green, 
have been enhanced and 
transformed into creative 
artworks as they are in many 
cities around the country.

 SPARC develops programs 
and events and collaborates 
with other organizations in the 
community to produce cultural 
events. 

 For a complete list of traffic 
signal boxes go to ci.south-
