I was like, oh my god, I 127 00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:50.759 have to buy this book. And the book was about 128 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:55.079 like places on the map where things happened, and it 129 00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:58.040 was like where James Dean died, which I drive by 130 00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:01.360 that location all the time now at the Highway forty 131 00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:03.439 six and forty one junction because I go to visit 132 00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:06.120 a friend in Pasa Robles, and so I think about 133 00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:08.079 your book every time I passed that junction. 134 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:11.079 Well, a great memory, thank you, and I remember that event. 135 00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:13.720 I love those sorts of events and I appreciate you 136 00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.519 putting that together and getting us back here today. 137 00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:18.040 That's amazing and really flattered. 138 00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:20.279 So today we're not talking about things that you can 139 00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:22.199 still go and see, though, because you have a new 140 00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:26.279 book out it's called Lost Landmarks of Orange County. 141 00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:28.040 So tell us a little about your new book. 142 00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:32.199 Well, it's yeah, again, there are some things you can visit, 143 00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:33.319 little trace remnants. 144 00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:34.920 I mean, the cover of the book features a. 145 00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:38.000 Place that was called Lion Country Safari, which was down 146 00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:41.480 in Irvine from nineteen seventy about nineteen eighty four. Many 147 00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:43.800 of your listeners may have been there before, but even 148 00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:45.839 if they weren't there, I think it really speaks to 149 00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:48.879 this idea of just how crazy in terms of landmarks, 150 00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:51.240 Orange County has been in the last hundred or so years. 151 00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:53.439 And so if you go there today, of course Lyon 152 00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:56.279 Country Safari is gone. You can no longer wander and 153 00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:58.399 have giraffes and hippos and vinys come to your car. 154 00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.920 But there's a tree with a very famous lion, Frasier 155 00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:04.639 the Fraser, the Sensuous Lion he was called because he 156 00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:08.360 sired thirty five cups. Is buried under a California live 157 00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:11.560 oak tree there. So sometimes it's not entirely lost, and 158 00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:13.959 there are pieces like that which in the book I 159 00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:16.879 really tried to detail all of those sorts of things 160 00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:19.360 to tell the story, but also, you know, let people 161 00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:21.360 know if there is something else they can connect with 162 00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:22.120 the right. 163 00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:26.240 And so at the Lion Safari Park where Fraser is buried, 164 00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:27.240 what's there now? 165 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:30.839 It's a housing complex call I think it's called Los 166 00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:33.279 of Libos, and it's also the former site of where 167 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:36.879 Irvine Meadows Amphitheater was, So I traced the legacy of 168 00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:40.080 that really great concert venue that was there. And you 169 00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:42.360 know Orange County, you know, starting back really in the 170 00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:45.360 forties with not very farmament into Disneyland in the fifties 171 00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:47.840 was a tourist mecca. And so you've got lots of 172 00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:52.200 theme parks and places like that Buffalo Ranch, the Alligator Farm, 173 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:55.000 the Japanese Deer Park. Those are all gone. 174 00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:56.679 But I also include movie. 175 00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:59.240 Theaters, restaurants, all the sorts of things that people may 176 00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:01.720 have grown up going too. That really helped to play 177 00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:04.039 it a part in shaping Orange County. 178 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:06.039 But what it is today, Yeah, like you said, the 179 00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:09.639 past and what shaped Orange County And we have to 180 00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:11.519 go back to the Alligator Park because I'm not aware 181 00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:14.600 of that one. And what was the Alligator Park. 182 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:18.519 The California Alligator Farm, opening about nineteen fifty. I learned 183 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:21.919 something fascinating and researching this book in that in the 184 00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:25.120 mid fifties Walter Notd, who rank Notts Verry Farms to 185 00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:28.240 block Away, heard that the Alligator Farm was kind of 186 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:29.960 on the brink of going at a business because of 187 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:33.559 the cost of feeding alligators. He realized each night that 188 00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:35.879 it not's very farmed. They were throwing out lots of 189 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:38.960 raw chicken from their famous for our chicken restaurant, so 190 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:41.320 he began to help them out. He had the chicken 191 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:44.039 carted down there at night, which got them over that 192 00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:46.480 hurdle and kept them there till the early nineteen eighties. 193 00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:49.200 So you had a lot of great stories like. 194 00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:51.639 That too, sort of entrepreneurs looking you at for each 195 00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:53.879 other and realizing that you didn't have to be that 196 00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:57.960 competitive because if everyone did well, then the county did well. 197 00:09:58.000 --> 00:09:59.440 And so you had a lot of those kinds of 198 00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:01.679 stories of places helping each other out. 199 00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:03.440 That's my favorite. And the fact that you could go. 200 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:07.080 Sit feed baby alligators. They had baskets on the back 201 00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:09.519 of alligators and you could ride and they would send 202 00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:12.440 alligators hurtling down slides into the water. 203 00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:13.320 I mean it was crazy. 204 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:15.799 Well, you could ride on the back of an alligator. 205 00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:19.440 There's pictures going back. Yeah, actually, and I don't know 206 00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:21.559 how long that was in effect, with the ars of 207 00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:24.360 postcard images of kids on the back of you know, 208 00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:28.840 the snouts are tied, obviously, but such was the thrill 209 00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:31.159 of the California Alligator Farm, I. 210 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:34.279 Can understand why that one may no longer be there. 211 00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:38.519 So in your research, Chris, did you talk to people 212 00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:42.879 who experienced these locations or are they games that you 213 00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:45.159 remember from your childhood or how did you go about 214 00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:45.840 getting all of. 215 00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:49.519 These I grew up. I grew up in Westchester County, 216 00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:51.840 New York. I moved to Orange County about twenty five 217 00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:54.679 years ago, so I had my own experiences. 218 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:57.360 But they didn't go back that far. So yes, I absolutely. 219 00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:59.960 Spoke to people from from locals who grew up going 220 00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:02.519 to see concerts and things all the way down to 221 00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:05.399 like I had a great conversation with Steve Martin about 222 00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:08.159 the Golden Bear, a former nightclub in Huntington Beach where 223 00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:10.919 he kind of first made his mark in the early seventies. 224 00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:14.159 He's from Orange County, from Garden Growth. I spoke to 225 00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:16.679 Jackson Brown about the Golden Bear as well, and a 226 00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:19.879 good buddy of this was the dishwasher there who Jackson 227 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:23.440 encouraged to go up to la and ultimately landed the 228 00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:26.480 audition of Peter Torque and the Monkeys. So you know, 229 00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:29.480 there were some revelations like that that I found fascinating 230 00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:31.679 just as a journalist talking to people like that, But 231 00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:36.519 plenty of locals recounted of what it was like to 232 00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:38.480 grow up here in the forties and fifties and sixties 233 00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:40.600 and so on, and the great drive in movie theaters 234 00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:44.519 and all sorts of things that you know, again, every 235 00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:46.840 place has them.

A new study takes a 290 00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:53.279 deeper look at what divorce really means for kids, and 291 00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:56.080 the impact may last longer than most things. 292 00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:58.559 Kids whose parents split up before they turn five are 293 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:01.159 more likely to struggle later in life, earning less money 294 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:04.039 and facing higher risks of teen pregnancy, jail time, and 295 00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:07.279 even early death. Researchers see it's not just the divorce, 296 00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:09.960 it's the rival effects. The study, using federal tax and 297 00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:13.039 census data, found that divorce often leads to lost income, 298 00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:16.000 moves to lower income neighborhoods, and less time with parents 299 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:18.759 who are working more just to stay afloat Brigida Degastino 300 00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:19.879 KFI News. 301 00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:22.919 A man has been injured in a thirty foot fall 302 00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:26.799 in Chatsworth.

It would 313 00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:01.840 happen after the All Star Game in July at six 314 00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:04.559 oh five. It's handle on the news. Handles taken the 315 00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:07.360 day off, But we have our very O'Neil Savager here 316 00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:09.960 and we're going to be talking about the top federal 317 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:16.360 prosecutor in LA looking to neutralize California's sanctuary laws. Right now, 318 00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:19.720 we're talking with travel author Chris Epting and his book 319 00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:24.200 Lost Landmarks of Orange County. What Chris is the lost 320 00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:28.480 landmark that makes you most sad that it's no longer here? 321 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:33.519 Well, Lying country definitely is why I went there as 322 00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:35.919 a kid visiting from New York in nineteen seventy four, 323 00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:40.559 and that one, to me is just again, it serves 324 00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:42.879 so many purposes there were I talked to people that 325 00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:45.399 had like their junior and senior proms there. It wasn't 326 00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:47.840 just for tourists, so plenty of locals use to I 327 00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:49.879 think if I could have one back, that would be 328 00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:52.240 the top of the list, along with the Golden Bear, 329 00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:55.200 because again, from the early sixties to the mid eighties, 330 00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:57.799 everybody played there was a lot of music history there 331 00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:01.159 one other site. This year marks the tennial of the 332 00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:04.599 very famous baseball game out in Brea, California, that featured 333 00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:07.799 no less than Babe Ruth and Walter Johnson. And it 334 00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:09.759 was a little place called the Brea Bowl, and I 335 00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:13.039 wish that was still there today. It was a field 336 00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:15.319 that oil companies would use for their kind of inter 337 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:18.720 squad baseball games. And the fact that one hundred years ago, 338 00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:21.839 in October of nineteen twenty four, Walter Johnson, who went 339 00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:24.759 to Fullerton High School, staged a game they're featuring. He 340 00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:28.039 played against Babe Rude and it's a very notable game. 341 00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:29.519 I write about it in the book, and I think 342 00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:31.599 it'd be fun to have that back, as well as 343 00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:34.319 sort of a famous, a legendary baseball diamond. 344 00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:35.559 Yeah. 345 00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:38.480 What gave you kind of the travel bug? Because you've 346 00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:40.720 written about so many interesting places that a lot of 347 00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:44.279 people maybe wouldn't have even thought of, but for whatever reason, 348 00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:45.960 you go, ooh, that's cool. 349 00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:46.839 What sparks. 350 00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:49.160 I can tell you exactly. I had a moment when 351 00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:51.759 I was about ten years old. Newspaper in New York, 352 00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:54.480 the Daily News, had a little article about marily Monroe, 353 00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:56.920 and it showed her opposing in the seven Year Itch 354 00:17:57.000 --> 00:17:59.759 the famous scene where the white dress billows up over 355 00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:02.680 the subway grade, and it said that that actual subway 356 00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:05.119 grade was in New York City at the northwest corner 357 00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:08.000 at fifty second Street and Lexington Avenue. And the next 358 00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:09.799 time we were in the city, I dragged my parents 359 00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:12.599 over there and I found that subway grade, and in 360 00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:15.920 my head, I thought, literally, how many places are there? 361 00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:18.279 All the New Yorkers were walking over nobody knew what 362 00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:21.200 had taken place there, And that planted the seed of 363 00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:24.200 like all these other places that we walked by every 364 00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:27.279 day and not know that some sort of cultural history 365 00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:29.960 was made there, from the sublime to the ridiculous. And 366 00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:32.759 that was literally what set me off on this idea 367 00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:34.359 that there's got to be a lot of these places, 368 00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:38.160 whether it's things Dean passed away, or where the Hindenburgh crashed, 369 00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:41.440 or where Elvis did his first concert, whatever it happens 370 00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:43.960 to be. You know, I spent the last twenty five 371 00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:47.200 some odd years writing those books, and you know, I 372 00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:49.759 love California. I always wanted to live here, and to 373 00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:51.720 the fact that I have been able to live here 374 00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:53.759 and make a living here, I focus a lot of 375 00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:57.680 attention on California, especially southern California in this case with 376 00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:00.480 Orange County, and I've written a lot about la as well, 377 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:03.480 and i just feel like this really is the cultural 378 00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:04.359 crossroads of. 379 00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:05.839 The United States in many ways. 380 00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:10.039 Yeah, and Chris, you write about in your new book 381 00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:14.000 the Lost Landmarks of Orange County, places that aren't actually 382 00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:16.599 no longer there, but parts of them that are no 383 00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:19.880 longer there. And I'm a huge disney fan, So you 384 00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:24.000 have a section about things at Disneyland and not Berry 385 00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:27.079 Farm that are no longer there exactly. 386 00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:30.440 And that's the key point, because you said, but I've 387 00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:32.720 got chapters in the book on both places for the 388 00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:36.559 many attractions no longer there, including in Disneyland's case, the 389 00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:41.160 Tomorrowland Stage, which was a very famous performance space where 390 00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:43.599 Space Mountain is located today. I write about how in 391 00:19:43.640 --> 00:19:46.759 the early seventies, a Linda Ronsdack got book there. Needing 392 00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:49.039 a band to play behind her, she gathered up some 393 00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:52.200 buddies from the Troubadour in West Hollywood. They came down 394 00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:54.519 to back her, thus sort of giving birth to the 395 00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:57.880 Eagles who first got together playing at their backup Oh 396 00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:01.799 My Gold Stage. And you can also see in Newport 397 00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:05.880 on MacArthur Boulevard the original Disneyland, and Sam sits up 398 00:20:05.880 --> 00:20:08.559 by Rogers Garden, up on a hill with a plaque 399 00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:10.720 by it. So again that's an example of being able 400 00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:12.920 to look at an actual artist sat out in the 401 00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:14.400
