    Sedona AZ (December 21, 2011) – In spring 2010, plans were announced for the creation of Arizona’s Little Hollywood Museum, a world-class cultural institution focusing on the history of motion pictures, with particular emphasis on the films photographed on location in Sedona and northern Arizona. Now, Arizona’s Little Hollywood Foundation, which received 501(c)(3) nonprofit status from the IRS in the fall, is pleased to announce that the museum will be built on the property in Sedona formerly known as Real Estate Central at 700 SR 89A. Appropriately, the 2.25-acre site and the spectacular landscape surrounding it has been used as filming locations, appearing onscreen in such Westerns as Virginia City (1939), Tall in the Saddle (1944) and Johnny Guitar (1954). The foundation aims to have the new state-of-the-art museum facility open to visitors within three to five years, and ultimately bring a Smithsonian Affiliation designation to Sedona.

    Plans call for the 25,000-square-foot Arizona’s Little Hollywood Museum to have several purposes. First and foremost, it will provide a safe place to collect, record and display artifacts from film history and Sedona and northern Arizona’s filmmaking heritage, with thousands of pieces of movie memorabilia and production objects. ALHM will educate and entertain visitors by offering interactive displays, tours, talks, workshops and film screenings. ALHM will also be a philanthropic funding resource for local arts-and-culture community organizations. One of Arizona’s Little Hollywood Foundation’s primary objectives will be to provide financial support to nonprofit organizations that benefit residents of Sedona and the Verde Valley.

    “There is nothing that exactly compares to the vision for Arizona’s Little Hollywood Museum,” says Joyice Gere, the foundation’s project executive and the co-owner of El Prado Gallery in Sedona. “However, film museums are an up-and-coming cultural phenomenon. San Francisco has a major one currently in the planning stage and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has been working on opening a Hollywood museum in Los Angeles for years. This is a branding opportunity that will benefit all of Sedona and the surrounding area. The value and the opportunity are ready for us to capitalize on now, when Sedona needs it the most.”

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
