I don’t know how the weather is in your location, but it would be an understatement for me to say I’ve really had enough of the summer heat! I’m already looking forward to the wintertime; so today I decided to feature a nice cool topic in this episode of California’s Gold, originally aired in April 2001. I’ve never gone ice […]
Huell visits a local elementary school to join a group of 5th graders on a field trip to some of Los Angeles’s many murals. Along for the ride is the artist himself to discuss his art with the children. All in all it’s a great LA day! (Click on the linked image below to see the video.)
To all the folks who, like me, are in the U.S., I don’t know about you but my neighborhood got pretty boisterous last night. It seemed like everybody in this part of town was out in the streets shooting off mortars and cannons for several hours — and from what I see on the local news, it wasn’t only in […]
After 2 weeks away from home (plus one week to recover!), I guess it’s time to jump back into my regularly scheduled blog posts. I’m starting out this Wednesday with an episode of California’s Golden Parks which originally aired May 10, 2006, featuring a place we passed by on our way home. The town of Kelso lies a bit north […]
Well, it’s not quite summer, although around here we may feel like it is when the temperatures get up into the 80 degree (F) range this week. Maybe that’s part of the reason I chose this particular subject to feature today! Yet another double episode, this segment first aired as part of the Visiting series in 1999, and later appeared […]
When I chose to feature this hour-long episode of Visiting (original air date April 1998) I had no idea that, in addition to the two segments described below, it actually contained a surprise at the end — a couple of extra hidden gems from Huell’s 1998 Videolog series. I especially enjoyed seeing the hike into the San Gabriel Mountains near […]
This week Huell presents a somewhat bittersweet tale of two fireboats — old Fireboat #2, also known as the Ralph J. Scott, serving with pride for 78 years; and her replacement, the shiny new Warner Lawrence, which took over the job in 2003. The episode combines two half-hour segments of Visiting; the first aired in June 1996, and the update […]
Last Monday, March 20, those of us in the Northern Hemisphere celebrated the first day of spring, also known as the vernal equinox — even though it may not feel a whole lot like spring, depending on where you are! The vernal equinox also marks the start of Nowruz, the Persian New Year. The first event of this annual celebration […]
I was having a tough time choosing which of Huell Howser’s many episodes to feature today when I suddenly realized that March 8 is International Women’s Day. So I decided to observe the occasion by doing something a bit different for my post today: instead of just one, I’m highlighting a handful of episodes of Visiting which all celebrate some […]
