>Denton County Courthouse on the Square restoration project. The state and

>Japanese Americans applauded Gov. Gray Davis' recent signing of a bill
>to preserve the three remaining historic Japantowns of San Francisco, San
>Jose and Los Angeles. Concerns arose, however, over the funding for the
>legislation, reports the Nichi Bei Times. Gov. Davis said he anticipates
>possible future funding from an initiative on next year's ballot. AB 1602,
>if enacted by the voters, would provide $267.5 million for cultural and
>historical preservation capital outlay projects.

>The state's lofty plan for a $25 billion high-speed train from San Francisco
>to San Diego has some Orange County residents and leaders worried it could
>derail the character of their communities. Possible routes through historic
>San Juan Capistrano and along the beach in San Clemente present the biggest
>challenges. Installing a second track next to the existing line could wipe
>out the historic Los Rios district in Capistrano.

>"A Ride on Highway 395" at the Temecula Valley Museum explores the history
>of this motor route that strengthened inland communities. The highway was
>not officially designated Route 395 until 1939, but it was cobbled together
>decades before from bits and pieces of old stagecoach routes, beginning
>in 1907, when a coach still ran between Escondido to San Diego. Gradually,
>Harmon said, the stagecoaches were replaced with seven-passenger French
>touring cars, but because parts were available only from Paris, the touring
>cars soon gave way to Model-T Fords. Paving the inland motorway began in
>1909 and continued until the early 1920s.

>Stalking valuable documents in dusty records certainly lacks the machismo
>of poaching lions in Africa. But in the genteel world of white-gloved
>archivists
>and poorly paid librarians, slick thieves make fast, big profits selling
>stolen rare books, documents and autographs in relative anonymity on the
>Internet.
