We have a twenty four hour, around the clock, taco place down the street here in Anaheim, and it is great. They serve food based on recipes from the Guadalajara region of Mexico.

It is the kind of place where you can go get a carne asada burrito at two in the morning, or a nice shrimp cocktail, and their tacos are as authentic as you can get, they have great food.

And they need to open up a few global locations, such as opening a location in Monte Carlo, and also in Rome, and Cannes, many areas would love to have 24 hour a day authentic Mexican tacos.

Salute,

Here is an episode on You Tube of The Loretta Young Show, this episode is called "Nobody's Boy," and it is about a club for boys who do not have anyone and so they help each other.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gugf4Su6mTk

I was thinking about writing a movie about a club for orphans, where they all help each other.

I met one foster youth who came out of the system without getting adopted, and the poor kid was 18 with a pregnant girlfriend, they lived in an old camper, and he was unemployed, and the poor kid did not even know who Abraham Lincoln was. His big break came when one of his friends from the system got a job managing a movie theater, and his friend hired him to work there. It was good that his friend helped him. There needs to be a club of boys helping each other.

Salute,

It is the kind of place where you eat filet mignon and get drunk with Elon Musk and Richard Branson.

We need to keep all of the forums, we do not need to reduce the number of forums.

If you do not like all of the threads, then stay off of the threads that you do not want, but leave the threads there for the people who do want the threads.

And Escape From Elba is great for people in nursing homes, and in hospitals, etc, as well as for students, etc, the more threads the better, we need to keep all of the threads.

Please do not reduce the number of forums.

Philippians 4:8 New International Version (NIV)

8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

May God bless us all!

On the issue of Puerto Rico...

Puerto Rico needs to focus on tourism, they need to make it nice for the tourists, they can make money that way. In Orange County, California, tourism creates over one hundred and sixty thousand jobs, alone.

And as Puerto Rico rebuilds they need to go GREEN, with solar, wind, etc, and each area needs to own its own electric company, and some of the money from the electric bills can go into a general fund, and some of the money from the general fund can go towards improving each area, and it can go towards helping the homeless, etc.

Also, Puerto Rico needs to become a state of the USA, they need equal statehood, like Hawaii.

A Broadway musical is in the works about Roy Rogers, Broadway is going to be full of cowboys. My brother married Roy and Dale's granddaughter, Kristen, and I will be in New York on opening night with the Rogers family. It is going to be great. I think that Disney is producing the play, but I am not for sure.

The article is kind of old, but it is pretty accurate.

Only on the restaurant, I recommend the Anaheim White House...

Alexis de Tocqueville said that one of the great things about America is that people could start fresh in America. No matter your social standing in Europe, you could rise to the top in America. And even former prison convicts found success in the New World. You could clean yourself up, and study, and wear nice clothes, and work hard, and rise in social standing. Just because you start out poor, does not mean that you have to stay poor in America.

Disney is working on a new movie about a Mexican who came to California to pick tomatoes, and now he is one of the top brain surgeons in the world. He was poor, and now he is wealthy and respected.

Beverly Hills, California, is the home of many Persian Jews, and many of the Persian Jews are extremely wealthy. I would expect that the Persian Jews would rise up to support improved human rights in Iran, and improved human rights for the women of Iran, and I am sure that the Persian Jews support a free and democratic government in Iran, etc. Here are some pages pertaining to the Persian Jews...

It is also sad that Toys R Us closed down, that was a great place that kids all loved. Maybe someone could figure out how to reopen it.

From the California Investment Guide 2016

The Hollywood Return

The now tripled tax credit is giving production companies even more reasons to go back to Cali.

https://siteselection.com/cc/california/2016/television-and-film.cfm

-----------

California has great film schools, USC, and Chapman, and good acting schools (including the AADA), California can bounce back and regain the money and jobs from film and television.

Several years ago I tried to buy a piece of property here in my neighborhood to open a movie studio. The property is about the size of Occidental Studios in East Hollywood. There is room for a couple of soundstages and some production offices. I even had one office already going to a friend's record label. They wanted five million dollars for the property, and I sent the proposal to the San Manuel Indian Tribal Business Council, but they turned me down. They told me to keep sending them my ideas, and they said that maybe I will come up with an idea that they are interested in.

Here is the property, a towing company bought it.

http://tinyurl.com/DuBoisTowing

The only bad thing is that it is close to the railroad tracks. But, the trains do not run very often.

I asked the guys in the neighborhood if they wanted a movie studio in our neighborhood, and they said that is the kind of business they want here, they were very supportive of the idea.

It could be like Occidental, and Disney uses Occidental all of the time. The last time I was at Occidental, Disney was there working. I am sure that people would use a little movie studio here in Anaheim. There could be a recording studio there too, for music, if people want one.

It was a good idea, and at least I tried.

Salute,

Tony V.

On the issue of the economy in California...

We need to build Camaros in Van Nuys again, only in the future we need to build electric cars. Maybe there can be an electric version of the Camaro. And we need new factories in Mojave. And we need more water for the farmers. And we need to make our immigrants legal, so that they can legally work and join unions and so that they are not afraid to call the police in the case of an emergency, etc. We also must expand trade with Latin America, and we can help to work to lift Latin America out of poverty. There is a lot that we can do. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Nuys_Assembly

We also need to build our high speed trains, including a high speed train between Anaheim and Las Vegas.

Salute,

Tony V.

Jobs are being created now in Mojave, California, they need to do more to create more jobs there, they need to build more factories in Mojave. And they have guys like Richard Branson helping to create jobs there.

Link...

https://www.glassdoor.com/Job/mojave-manufacturing-jobs-SRCH_IL.0,6_IC1146581_KO7,20.htm

People built a million houses in the Antelope Valley, but there are not any jobs there. So, the people are stuck driving in heavy traffic to work in Los Angeles, or they are unemployed. Jobs need to be created in Mojave so that the people of the Antelope Valley can work close to where they live, and to get people off of welfare and to get them working.

There are top secret jobs building secret aircraft and satellites and stuff, out in the desert, but you need to be highly qualified to get those jobs. There needs to be jobs for the average guy, and for people who are unskilled labor.

Salute,

Tony V.
