Last night, I was perusing around online and I came upon some postings about the Adventures of Superman plaque we dedicated in Tarzana, California in August 2014.
I wasn't planning on saying anything until two years from now when the tenth anniversary of that dedication arrives. It is even hard to believe that in two months, eight years will have passed since the dedication. But since many aren't aware the plaque even exists, even though the dedication did get some good press, I thought it would be a good time to note some websites who have posted information on the plaque and where it's located so they can go see it.

I should note for posterity that two who were at the dedication, one as a participant and one as a spectator, are no longer with us. They being Jack Larson, who helped made the Adventures of Superman the classic television show it is with his portrayal as Jimmy Olsen and Ted Newsom, whose knowledge of entertainment history educated many over the years. Actress Noel Neill couldn't attend the dedication due to her fragile health at the time but was well aware of the plaque, is also no longer with us.
I was checking around for websites that posted listings about the plaque, some I've already posted about, and found some more.
The first is Roadside America. I have posted about their listing before, but here is their listing about the plaque: https://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/44540.
Next, is Historical Marker Database. Here is their listing: https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=125644.
