Cook's Corner - Saturday 11-07-09     M/V Agusta F4

Run 4 Hope to benefit Union Rescue Mission’s Hope Gardens Family Center
Hosted by the SoCal Chrome Divas & Iron Ridin Dames

Women and children make up 41% (or 23,000) of Los Angeles County’s homeless population. The reasons are many, and in most cases, beyond their control: lack of affordable housing, domestic violence, underemployment, death of a spouse, lack of marketable skills, and/or mental illness.

Single mothers with 2 or more children head approximately 84% of homeless families. Young people experiencing homelessness are presented with special developmental challenges: they are more likely to be sick, twice as likely as other children to repeat a grade in school, and twice as likely to be diagnosed with a learning disability.  As families move from stable home addresses to the streets, education and access to familiar resources are compromised.

Union Rescue Mission’s Hope Gardens Family Center is dedicated to this population. As families with children of all ages come to Hope Gardens from all over Los Angeles,  Hope Gardens seeks to remove them from the cycle of homelessness for good and empower them with the tools toward self-sufficiency.

Cook's Corner is considered to be one of the most famous biker bars in Southern California. It is located at the juncture of Santiago Canyon and Live Oak Canyon roads. Cook's Corner was named after Andrew Jackson Cook, who got about 190 acres of Aliso Canyon in a land trade in 1884. In 1926, his son, Earl Jack "E.J." Cook converted a cabin into a restaurant for miners and local ranchers. After Prohibition ended in 1933, alcohol begain being sold, and Cook's Corner became a full-fledged bar. In 1946, Cook bought an old mess hall from the Santa Ana Army Air Base and the tavern was born. In 1970, a Santa Ana motorcycle accessories owner purchased it and Cooks Corner was molded into what it represents today…an old-fashioned roadhouse. Cook's (as it is normally referred) is still as rugged-looking as a World War II-era-mess-hall-turned-biker-bar should look.
