Excellent show, the blimp hangers, Japanese submarines off the coast of California, artillery in the hills above San Pedro, wow. I took the tour of the USS IOWA in San Pedro, very cool tour. Thanks Pat for this walk down WWII in So Cal memory lane. Loved the description of the medals and items on your Dads uniform.

Love it.

Best of California is such a fun and interesting show!

The enemy attacked two sea-borne oil tankers, farther up the coast from Goleta, days later. One of which was sunk. At a different date, which excapes me, there was a trio of enemy subs, on the surface in a remote cove in the NW of Catalina, which was spotted by a patrol in a speedboat, not the kind of which that could attack. Apparently, no radio, so by the time they got back to Hamilton or Avalon, and search planes and surface ships could be dispatched, the subs had disappeared.

I drive past the Tustin Hanger every week. For Naval history fans, we also have the USS Iowa in San Pedro. The USS Midway in San Diego was just a little too late for WWII, but it was built in that era. Both are great tours.

Thanks Pat! What a great video.

Man, you have the world by the tail on a downhill pull.

OMG! I loved Van de Kamp's. Raspberry tarts and mini pecan pies. Used to go to the Hughes, on Sunset in the Palisades, after school. Get the three-pack of pecan pies and a gigantic 16 oz glass bottle of Coke. Those windmills were everywhere, in supermarkets and free-standing restaurants.

Awesome facts!!! Learned something new

Precious memories of Long ago

If you want to see some animals at the farm, you must practice your animal sounds.

2025 marks the 100th anniversary of Jocko’s.

Thanks Lisa! This place is the best!

I used to live in Rosemead Calif, And i remember a helms truck used to still be selling donuts on the 80s

That’s really cool I didn’t know that

There were miniature Cardboard Helms Bakery Trucks that were folded into 3D.

I’ve watched several of these “Where in CA am I” shorts and rarely know any of them and I’m 65 and was born and raised in Orange County! I guess I didn’t get around enough?

Wow. So when Helms went out of business in the late 60s, what donut truck was coming around our neighborhood of Huntington Parkin the early 80s? I remember the donut man in a panel truck sliding out the drawer of donuts to sell…

Fond memories of Frankie Garcia, who was my roommate for about one year during both our religious phase. But after we both got disillusioned with the extremes of what that can become, we often met up later and spent evenings sharing harmony on Tom Jones and Wayne Newton material. We were planning to do some recording together when his illness became too severe. Frankie was intense, to say the least - and I loved every bit of it. He is still missed ...

Pat!! Do I envy you for eating that Toffee Dessert!?.I hope you did eventually sleep! "John's" Restaurant is priced friendly with nice portions in Palm Desert on 111. -Adam

Hello Pat plus Producer! I'm 62 and been enjoying time in Indio! I'm one of many who spent time in Radio so obviously I have some Notes on Appreciation! I saw The Achristure Arena being built yet did you capture some Roll of the Beauty of the interior too? Pat good seeing you Host great attitude! Congrats!- Adam

Beautiful area.

I watch Gunsmoke everyday.

California is a beautiful state. Miss it,.... thanks for the video...

Dang Helms truck almost never came down our dead-end street in Lemon Grove.

They were also in San Diego.

These cakes are the best/ buttercream

My uncle was Curly that owned Curlys bar back in the day. Long Beach native here. ❤ Long Beach will always be home.

Horrible place for a family,dogs off leashes ,very loud music parties after 10pm,no one that works here gives a flying f. Nothing but white trash when i was there . Will never return.

Oh the wonderful memories!!!! I was 11 yrs old when they went out of business. The whole neighborhood came outside when they showed up!

Two trees in the middle of the state. Thank you.

My grand father remembered Wyatt Earp in Colton Ca, when he was a young man. The common knowledge of Earp at that time was that he was a drunken card cheat ! & my grand father was no liar !

25 million years old? BULL CHIT that is crap made up LOL

Chevy panel trucks in '67 '68 in Port Hueneme Oxnard area. I still to this day crave their donuts.

Oxnard is not a hidden gem

I was cracking up when you were drinking your coffee 😂😂

Avilas is the best.. And the soup is incredible.

Good job Pat

My dad bought a Helms' truck in 1968. He needed a van to transport our family of eleven. Some of us peeled off the letters and he repainted it white on the top and blue on the bottom. He put windows on both sides and a bench seat along each side. There was enough room to even invite a couple friends along on beach trips!

Where is this?

Fun and very endearing! Liza is a "chip off the old block" 🙂

Wife and I enjoyed the video.

Great video! I worked at the Hotel Del Coronado for five years in the early to mid 90’s. Fabulous place! We live close by and visit it often. Such a treasure! Stayed at The Madonna Inn too. Love that fantastic hotel, too!

What are they made out off
