    My California Road Trip: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly

    It’s Spring Break so it’s time for a Road Trip. I took the family up the 395 to explore some California history: the Good, the Bad, the Ugly. We start with Mammoth (3:38), which is a volcano. . .that gets 300 inches of snow per year! From there we stop by Schat’s Bakery (8:10), the most popular bakery in the WORLD. . .since 1903. And have you heard of Manzanar (9:00), the site of mass incarceration of 10,000 Japanese-Americans during WWII. You know I had to get the story. Lastly, we head to the Owens Lake (16:15), the epicenter of the California Water Wars.

I love this show!

Follow ‘LA in a Min’ on social media. Since moving here over 10 years ago, I’ve had a hard time getting a pulse on the city’s culture, but this podcast has scratched that itch. It’s charming, informative, and entertaining—a must-listen for Angelenos and newcomers alike.
