On the way there, leaving Los Angeles on the 10 freeway, East, we pass the Veterans Hall, named on honor of the comedian, Bob Hope, who spent a lot of time overseas, entertaining the troops, who simply adored him!

Hi, Asher,

On the way there, leaving Los Angeles on the 10 freeway, East, we pass the Veterans Hall, named on honor of the comedian, Bob Hope, who spent a lot of time overseas, entertaining the troops, who simply adored him!

Odd that the sign says "Bob Hope Patriotic Hall"

Is the facility with the BYD sign a showroom for electric cars or what?

Albuquerque bought BYD electric articulated buses (assembled in Lancaster, Calif.) for its new on-street rapid transit system. They are not yet working right. Nothing about the new system is working right.

Best regards,

Doug

Doug,


Thanks for sparking my interest. Without your keen eye and knowledge, that buisiness sign was just another in a vast jungle of commerce! You added some human dimension for me.



BYD Co Ltd is a Chinese manufacturer of automobiles, buses, forklifts, rechargeable batteries, trucks, etc with its corporate headquarters in Shenzhen. It has two major subsidiaries, BYD Automobile and BYD Electronic. Wikipedia


I looked up on Google maps the store. Its right be the freeway.

...and then we have the local l folks reaction to the place and mocking of the idea that this Chinese Corporate Giant is anything realted to them or the planet beyond commerce!

Of course, we don't know what went on, but with printed signs, it looks like this is perhaps backed by some trade union. Now I did a search and it turned out that this company was a indeed nightmare to deal with.

It got into trouble in 2013 for paying its local Chinese workers $1.50 per hour!!

Guess what, by 2014, Reurers reported that the judge finally dismissed the case and they got away with it!
