#historical-reenactment

For the better part of five years, I've been going to a shooting retreat in the foothills near Yosemite to improve my skills and have a bit of fun. These retreats or camps have themes and one overarching theme-proper club attire. Each year (or time I go), the theme changes. One year it was steel-target shooting, another was "Cowboy Action," the next "turn-of-the-century gangsters." While some folks come and go, for the past three years, the same group of men (and a few women) has shown up.

A pair of lanterns, known as the Northbrae Lanterns, designed by John Galen Howard, that illuminated the intersection of Hopkins Street and The Alameda, have been rebuilt after going missing for over half a century.
