More history was made today in San Diego’s vibrant Balboa Park!
This morning, during a special Flag Day ceremony, flags were run up new flagpoles above the entrance of the San Diego Automotive Museum for the very first time.
The two new flagpoles were installed on the roof almost a month ago, along with two large grizzly bear sculptures. See one of the cold cast bronze grizzlies dangling from a crane by clicking here!
Adding the two flagpoles and the two bear sculptures was part of a project by the Committee of 100 to make the historic California State Building, now home of the Automotive Museum, appear more like it did in 1935 during the California Pacific International Exposition.
I missed this morning’s special Flag Day event, but I walked through Balboa Park in the afternoon and took these photos…

The grizzly bears are back. Their favorite habitat was once our California chaparral.
These cold cast bronze sculptures are named Red (on the left ) and Fern ( on the right) Red has red eyes and Fern has green eyes and notice the toes hanging over the edge…..cool
