Black's Beach
Black's Beach is a secluded section of beach beneath the bluffs of Torrey Pines on the Pacific Ocean in La Jolla, San Diego, California, United States. It is officially part of Torrey Pines State Beach. The northern portion of Black's Beach is owned and managed by the California Department of Parks and Recreation, while the southern portion of the beach, officially known as Torrey Pines City Beach, is jointly owned by the city of San Diego and the state park, but is managed by the city of San Diego. This distinction is important as Black's Beach is most known as a nude beach, a practice that is now prohibited in the southern portion managed by the city of San Diego. Black's Beach was named for the Black family who had a horse ranch overlooking the beach. They sold the land, and then it was subdivided into La Jolla Farms lots. The Farms' residents retained the Black family's private road to the beach. Many mansions can be seen in the southern portion of the beach, including the Sa ...

Blacks Photo Corporation
Blacks Photography, stylized as BLACKS (formerly Black's), is a Canadian online retailer of photo prints and personalized photo products, home decor items, and photofinishing services. It is headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Prior to 2015, Blacks was a brick and mortar retail chain focusing on photography equipment and processing since 1939. However, due to declining business in part to the rise of digital photography and camera phones, the chain closed on August 4, 2015. Blacks' domain and app assets were sold to Montreal-based '' Les Pros de la Photo'', Canada's largest wholesale photofinsher, which has taken over and operates it as an online business. History Blacks was founded in 1930 by Eddie Black, selling home appliances and electronics. However in 1939, with the first Royal visit to Canada being planned, Black anticipated that cameras and related items would be in high demand for the event. That forethought proved so profitably correct that photography would b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
