2013 Groundbreaking of Catalina Museum's Permanent Home
November 2, 2013, the Catalina Museum broke ground on its permanent home, the Ada Blanche Wrigley Schreiner Building. Hundreds were in attendance to be a part of that historic day. It was all captured on video by Avalon resident John Talsky.
Special thanks to the museum's Board of Trustees and donors to the building project. Thanks to Dustbowl Revival for the live music, Steve's Steakhouse for the help with the champagne toast, and to Drew Mauck for additional still photography.

    Their neighbor to the south, the White Sox, also had a fairly long spring history in SoCal. They were in Pasadena at Brookside Park from 1933-1942, and 1946-1950. While the Cubs first arrived in LA in 1903 (holding spring at Chutes Park in downtown LA in 1903-1904, just south of the 10 freeway), the White Sox set up their spring training at the same field in 1908.

    That is not Bruce. Bruce was destroyed after filming. They thought the film would flop so they destroyed it. Had to make new ones for the sequel

    The entertainment acts are so ironic. Love it. But Hopefully in the future $ won’t be a contributing factor for having the opportunity to contribute to Catalina preservation. Is there anyone that has decoded the casino buildings architecture and its murals. I’d love to talk to someone about what I’ve learned soon can share the information.

I thought the enterance it was in the front of the Casino and it looked like a ghost town in the casino there was no one working at the window . You guys should put a sign this way to the Catalina Museum this arrows =/ and have an employee sit at the window with information. Because I know I wasnt the only one !!! ugh
