Huntington Drive

Huntington Drive is a major east-west street in Southern California, United States. It runs from Mission Road near the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Los Angeles east through the El Sereno section of Los Angeles, South Pasadena, San Marino, Alhambra, San Gabriel, Arcadia, Monrovia, ending in Duarte. It is also known as Historic Route 66 east of its junction with Colorado Place in Arcadia, until its name changes to Foothill Boulevard at the San Gabriel River.

History

In 1901, Henry E. Huntington (nephew and heir to the fortune of Southern Pacific Railroad founder Collis P. Huntington) began the Pacific Electric Railway as a way to develop the lands surrounding Los Angeles. The main trunk line eastwards into the San Gabriel Valley passed to the south of Pasadena (with branch lines peeling off), skirting the line of hills just south of the San Gabriel Mountains. Huntington chose for himself a large tract of land on one of these hills (which on a clear day has a view of the ocean, 22 miles (35 km) distant). When automobile ownership rose in Southern California, this main line was converted into a wide divided highway, with four tracks running down the median. In 1925, Pacific Electric began converting its train lines into bus routes, cumulating in 1953, when the bulk of its routes were closed.

The Exodus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Exodus (Hebrew: יציאת מצרים, Standard Yetsi'at Mitzrayim Tiberian jəsʕijaθ misʕɾajim ; "the going out of Egypt"), is the term used for the escape, departure and emancipation of the enslaved Israelites freed from Ancient Egypt as described in the Hebrew Bible, mainly in the Book of Exodus.

The term is derived from the experience of the Israelites who are described as "וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, יֹצְאִים בְּיָד רָמָה" ("the children of Israel went out with a high hand" Exodus 14:8)^[1] and "הַיּוֹם, אַתֶּם יֹצְאִים, בְּחֹדֶשׁ, הָאָבִיב" ("This day you go forth in the month Abib." Exodus 13:4)^[2] The full term יציאת מצרים meaning "Exodus (Greek for 'departure') from Egypt" is used in the Passover Hagadah that was authored almost 2,000 years ago in the times of the Mishnah and is used in Jewish scholarship as in Maimonides' Mishneh Torah.^[3][4][5][6]

In the Hebrew Bible story, the Israelites were led by Moses and Aaron. The goal was to return to the Land of Israel where their forefathers had lived and which, according to Jewish lore, they had been promised by Yahweh. The Exodus forms the basis of the Jewish holiday of Passover.
