Episode #50: Cowboys, Indians, & Railroad Magnates

Join us this week as we talk with Dan Lewis, Chief Curator of Manuscripts at the Huntington Library, about “Remarkable Works, Remarkable Times,” the permanent installation in the Library’s newly renovated Exhibit Hall.

We’ll also visit with Justin, an artist who works in the Los Angeles landscape, to talk about cowboys, Indians, neighborhood pride and the collaborative process.

We’ll also discuss the opening of the “Get Your Kicks on Route 66” gift shop in Monrovia’s historic Aztec Hotel, one programmer’s home grown solution to the kludgy LA City planning department website and a photographic tour of the Union Theatre, home of a 19th century-style Panorama. All this and more as Kim & Richard usher in the week of Jan. 27th, 2014.
