Episode #102: Strange Stones and Frizzled Flowers

Join us this week as we talk with Ansley Davies, Associate Curator for the Los Angeles County Department of Parks \& Recreation about the otherworldly Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park off Highway 14. We’ll also visit with Interpreter Jean Ryne of the California State Parks System to get the skinny on the effect of the recent heat wave on the spring bloom at the the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve.

We’ll also discuss an L.A. Times editorial urging caution when developing archeologically sensitive sites around Olvera Street, progress on the anti-mansionization ordinance, Sharkey’s announces plans to restore rather than demolish the Googie-style Twain’s diner and a high rise proposed for 4th and Hill Streets. All this and more as Kim & Richard usher in the week of March 23rd, 2015.
