Donut Wheel

Donut Wheel is a doughnut shop. It was established in 1962, and is a landmark in Livermore, California. It is located at the intersection of the city's four quadrants. The Donut Wheel (then "Jack's Donut Wheel") was started in 1962 by Jack and Jean Weil. The Donut Wheel got its name from a suggestion from a man who worked with Jack at Stemple's. He said that he should call it the Donut Wheel because that is how people pronounced his name, “wheel” instead of Weil (pronounced, "while"). Jack and Jean sold Jack's Donut Wheel in 1972. Since then it has changed hands a few times, but kept the name.The building was erected in 1941, as a Purity grocery store. It was remodeled in 1958 by Hans Joachim Schiller, and is an example of Googie architecture. Hans Joachim Schiller was a German architect who fled Nazi Germany to Palestine and then established himself in Marin County after World War II. Before the grocery store, the site was occupied by an 1800s building called the Washington Hotel.

East Bay Athletic League

The East Bay Athletic League (EBAL) is a high school sports league in the North Coast Section of the California Interscholastic Federation. The league was created in 1964; previously teams competed in the "East Bay Division" (EBD) of the Diablo Valley Athletic League (DVAL). Its member institutions are located in the eastern region of the San Francisco Bay Area, in the cities of Concord, Danville, San Ramon, Dublin, Pleasanton, and Livermore. In the fall of 2016 the E.B.A.L. expanded to a 10 team league (De La Salle competing in boys sports & Carondelet in girls sports) by adding Dublin High School, and Dougherty Valley High School. De La Salle stopped competing in EBAL Football in 2012-13 and competed as an Independent school in football. In 2018, De La Salle was re-admitted back into the EBAL Football League and now competes again for the league title. Also in 2018, the EBAL split its Football League into two "Divisions"; the Mountain Division (consisting of California, De La Salle, Foothill, San Ramon and Monte Vista) and the "Valley Division" (consisting of Amador Valley, Dougherty Valley, Dublin, Granada and Livermore). In 2020, Foothill moved to the Valley Division and in 2021, Amador Valley moved to the Mountain Division.

Arroyo del Valle Sanitarium

Arroyo del Valle Sanitarium, originally opened as Del Valle Preventorium, was a sanitarium located in Livermore, California, United States that specialized in the treatment of tuberculosis. The hospital campus originally spanned over 160 acres. Upon opening in 1918, the hospital had a capacity of 280 patients. This was later expanded to 300. The buildings were designed by architect Henry H. Meyers of San Francisco. Originally opened as a private institution, Alameda County took over operations of the hospital in 1925. In 1919, Dr. Chessley Bush was named medical superintendent of the sanitarium. He held the position for more than 30 years. In 1923, Del Valle Farm was opened next to the sanatorium as a children's tuberculosis ward. The farm was eventually incorporated into the sanitarium in the 1920s. In 1949, James T. Duncan named the medical superintendent of the sanitarium until its closure. He had previously served as the director of Stony Brook Sanatorium in Kern County before moving to Livermore. The sanitarium went into decline after Streptomycin became the main treatment for tuberculosis during the 1940s and 1950s. By 1959, the sanitarium only had 148 patients. Closure of the asylum commenced on July 1, 1960, after authorization of the Alameda County Board of Supervisors, with the last patients being removed in August 1960. Upon closure the remaining 90 patients were moved to the tuberculosis ward at Fairmont Hospital in San Leandro.
