After hiking (almost) to the top of Mt. Konocti in Lake County last March, I know from personal experience that climbing a mountain is never easy. In this episode of Huell’s show Visiting, he takes a much easier path to the mountaintop. You may recall I previously shared a 1997 segment of California’s Gold (back in January 2019) where Huell […]
I don’t know about you, but where I am both the news and the weather this week have been gloomy and chilly, and I’ve spent a lot of time indoors wondering what happened to the spring-like weather (with temperatures in the high 70s) we had just a few days ago. That is why, to lift our spirits just a bit […]
Just like Huell mentions at the start of this 2003 episode of Visiting, I’ve been to the Orange Empire Railway Museum too, “years and years ago.” My visit was back in June 1982; but even then this museum — now known as the Southern California Railway Museum — in Perris, California, was well established. It was started in 1958 and […]
This week’s post is a little late because the Huell Howser Archives web site seems to be having problems with their server, and I wasn’t able to access any of the episodes. But thanks to YouTube and the public television station KCET in Los Angeles, I can share this episode of Visiting — one that’s been on my list of […]
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! After watching this episode of Visiting, I’ve learned that Armenian Christmas is actually celebrated on January 6. Huell is very lucky to get an invitation to celebrate the holiday with a wonderful family — and he’s on hand to watch as quite a lot of truly mouthwatering food is being prepared for the event. In […]
This week I chose a slightly different kind of adventure — a 2005 episode of Huell’s show Visiting in which he pays a house call in Bell Gardens and meets a very warm and convivial Cuban family. As if Neal and his family weren’t colorful enough, wait until you see the collection of over 500 vibrant red canaries that he […]
Since last week I shared the Forest Photographer episode, I thought I may as well follow up this week with a Barn Photographer, again from the Visiting series. From watching TV with the Big Guy, I’ve learned about “barn finds” — rare, vintage cars buried under years of dust and often forgotten, just waiting to be re-discovered and brought back […]
This week, I’m taking a look at another one of Huell’s TV series, Visiting. Most of these episodes are 30-minute segments focusing on interesting people, places, and businesses in Southern California. I’ve never seen any of these episodes, so I’m looking forward to discovering them right along with you! I was especially drawn to this 1997 episode featuring Roy Murphy, […]
Here is an hour-long episode from Huell’s series Visiting that I had intended to share during the week before Easter; rather than waiting for next Easter to roll around, I’ve opted to feature it a few days late! Looming 1339 feet above Riverside is Mt. Rubidoux. The very first Easter Sunrise service was held at the top of Mt Rubidoux […]
