odditiesoflife: Glass Beach, Northern California From 1950 to 1967, residents of Fort Bragg, California chose to dispose of their waste by hurling it off the cliffs above a beach. No object was too toxic or too large such as household appliances, automobiles, and all matter of trash were tossed into the crashing waves below, eventually earning it the name The Dumps. Then in 1967, city leaders closed and reclaimed the beach. Various cleanup programs were undertaken. Over the next several decades, the pounding waves cleaned the beach by breaking down everything but glass turning the sand into a sparkling, multicolored bed of smooth glass stones. The California Department of Parks and Recreation purchased the land and incorporated it into MacK­er­richer State Park in 2002.

Per request by CMG Worldwide (based in Los Angeles), Milton Glaser’s I♥NY has been removed from the video. In 1977, Milton Glaser designed the logo pro bono. His intention was to spread the love and let everyone use the logo under fair use. The logo was later copyrighted. Milton Glaser is also responsible for designing The Brooklyn Brewery’s logo 25 years ago.
