Every star should have some good investments, including restaurants, like Danny Trejo with his Tacos, Trejos Tacos is a very popular restaurant for tourists, he owns a few restaurants now in the Hollywood area.

Tori Spelling can have an ice cream shop like Baskin Robbins Ice Cream, and I picture Tori Spelling selling gourmet cupcakes, she can have a shop on Melrose Ave in Hollywood, and also on Rodeo in Beverly Hills. And she needs good agents and managers to guide her and she needs helpers, etc.

Salute,

Note to Vegas service industry, though they know this very well already, Australians do not tip and they tend to steal shit as if it were meant for them as a souvenir.

The stadium is adjustable to control for climate. The ruggers will be fine unless they test their limits the evening prior due to a total lack of professionalism and self control.

2 new movie studios are being built in Nevada, and lots of new tax breaks are being proposed to help to start a film and television industry in Nevada.

https://www.fox5vegas.com/2023/06/01/one-step-closer-movie-studios-being-built-southern-nevada/

They can make Westerns, such as making a series of films from the Slocum series of Westerns by Jake Logan.

I have some ideas for a few Westerns, one idea is for a Lawyer in the Wild West, like a mix between Clint Eastwood and Perry Mason, fast with a gun and smart with the law.

There is also an old series of books about Casey the stagecoach driver, and other old books.

Louis L'Amour and Zane Grey, etc, are also good writers but have already been over-done in Western movies. I think the Slocum Westerns could be more fun for today's audience.

Bible movies can also be made in Nevada. Lots of stuff can happen in Nevada.

Salute,

Tony V.

Love westerns, it'd be great if they started making new ones in Vegas.
Randolph Scott movies are getting a lot old.
Every day is movie day, and every night is movie night in the villa of team bambu.
Keep the new movies coming.

The studios will have to abandon their totalitarian pipe dreams first.

No screen schlock for you, Bambu.

I thought it was going to be a Blazing Saddles clip, but that was better.

As the sports teams from Oakland all move to Las Vegas, the Raiders, and the Athletics, then it is great for Vegas, Vegas is doing fantastic, but what about poor Oakland? Oakland is a bad ghetto now, even worse than San Francisco.

https://www.oaklandca.gov/topics/oaklands-advantages

Education is important, schools are important, and libraries, and community colleges, etc. We can expand after school programs for the children, and we can teach the high school boys how to install sound systems in cars, etc. ( I have a friend who can install a sound system in a Ferrari and he is doing very well, and he teaches the high school kids. ) We need to teach the kids how to make an honest living, so that they do not have to resort to crime.

Wellness Centers are also important, and Mental Health Associations, and Sober Living Homes are important, etc.

They need hostels where they can get a bed and a shower for $15 per night.

Vegas is doing great, but it is not so great in Oakland, and San Francisco is also having problems.

Salute,

Tony V.

The Unions can reach out to the homeless teens, and to the poor and at risk teens, and the unions can hire the boys as apprentices, etc, and they can help the boys to learn how to earn an honest living.

https://teamsters2010.org/

We need to teach the youth how to make an honest living so that they do not have to be homeless and so they do not become criminals.

Poverty is the father of revolution and crime. We need to help the poor youth to get started on a good path.

Salute,

Tony V.

We need to hook the Foster Youth up with the Unions to be apprentices, etc, and to learn how to make an honest living when they grow up and are on their own.

CASA can be hooked up with the Unions, etc.

https://www.californiacasa.org/

And then there is also community college, but the youth need to have a home and money, they cannot be living in their cars while they go to community college. So, there is the issue of cheap group homes for the students, etc, and good paying side jobs that the students can work while they study. The Unions and CASA and the community colleges can all work together as a team to serve the foster youth.

Salute,

Tony V.

Very cool. Looks like a good program.

When Hollywood opens back up then Job Corps needs to connect with Hollywood to create jobs for the youth. And Hollywood creates jobs in more places than just here in California, Hollywood also creates jobs in Georgia, and Hollywood is going to create more jobs in Florida, and in New York, and in Michigan, and new studios are being built in Nevada, etc. So, when the Entertainment Industry goes back to work then a lot of opportunities will be created. And Show Business jobs are the kind of jobs that the youth want, they all want to work in Show Business.

SAG/AFTRA, and the WGA, and the DGA, and the Producers Guild, etc, etc, etc, they can all have apprenticeships for the Youth, and Internships, etc.

And of course the community colleges all need to teach acting, and film, and writing, etc.

We need to have a bridge connecting our youth with the jobs in the Entertainment Industry.

Of note, Fullerton Community College is training people for jobs with Disney, the youth go right to work for Disney when they graduate. It is wonderful, the youth are going right to work with a good company when they graduate.

Salute,

Tony V.

Hollywood also creates a lot of good jobs in Canada and in New Zealand and in Australia and for the British. And we need to be more involved at Cinecitta in Rome, and at the Victorine Studio in Nice, France, etc. Hollywood creates jobs all around the world. I am sure everyone will be happy when Hollywood goes back to work.

Many Hallmark movies seem to be made in Canada.
Girl  meets handsome guy, they fall in love, and live happily ever after.
Maybe it's time for not-so-handsome guys to be featured, ones with 'nice personalities'.

My Mother loves the Hallmark movies, and when I go to visit her we drink expensive gourmet coffee and we watch Hallmark movies. And she loves the Classics. She has good memories of watching the Classics with her Grandmother who used to take her to the movie theatres when she was a child. Her Grandmother used to take her to Olvera Street in Los Angeles, and to the zoo, and to the movies, etc. Her Grandmother owned a restaurant in San Bernardino, she was successful and she gave a lot of money to charity, and she used to spend a lot of time with my Mother, she was a good influence on my Mother. Anyhow, the Hallmark films are great, and they bring a lot of joy to my Mother.

Salute,
