Gabbert Judicial Plaza Monument and Medallion

The plaza at 3650 11th St, Riverside, CA, outside the Riverside Hall of Justice where the Superior Court of California of Riverside County convenes, has been named after Justice John G. Gabbert, former judge, scholar, and leader in the Riverside community, and a monument has been placed at its entrance in his honor.  The archway-shaped monument contains a medallion and summary information on Gabbert's life and contributions to the area.  The artist and designer are unknown.

Raincross Sculpture at City Hall

In recognition of the 50th anniversary of the City Hall building (3900 Main St, Riverside, CA), new raincross sculpture has been erected on the north side of City Hall along the downtown pedestrian mall.  The sculpture was made for the occasion by Rico Alderette @ricoald and his colleagues at Alderette Designs @alderette_designs. Councilman Phillip Falcone and Mayor Patricia Lock Dawson also helped lead the project.  This particular raincross appears to have some Japanese influences, possibly related to Riverside's connection to Sendai, its sister city.  Note, the similarities between the sculpture and other raincross emblems embedded in the concrete of City Hall.
