Episode #77: Legendary Southern Californians: The Orange & Huell Howser

Join us this week as we visit with author David Boulé to learn about “The Orange and the Dream of California,” his new book packed with juicy citrus lore. We’ll also talk with Los Angeles City Councilman Tom LaBonge about his dear friend Huell Howser, and Huell’s abiding legacy in the Southland.

We’ll also discuss Metro’s plan for a pedestrian bridge at 2nd and Hope, new ideas for Skid Row, South Park sidewalk closures, the construction crane rises on the site of Blossom Plaza’s destroyed Zanja Madre section, a Charles Bukowski birthday party, homeless camp briefly cleared near site Olvera Street, rediscovered Hollywood street photography circa 1980 and the good news about the UCLA flood. All this and more as Kim & Richard usher in the week of August 4th.
