Footwear either provide necessary protection or present fashion statements. Vintage shoes provide a visual historical perspective and perhaps a family connection with an ancestor. This week, the Center for Sacramento History is presenting an exhibit of their shoe collection. I sat down with Veronica L. Kandl, Curator of History, and Rebecca Crowther, Photographs Archivist, about shoe textiles used over the last 100 years, stories associated with footwear and methods of storage. And, we visit Theodore Roosevelt National Park.

Early films were not only entertaining, but trend setting. Watch a movie from, say, the 1940’s and see what has been copied today and viewed as “original.” This week, I discuss classic films with a fellow fan, Matias Bombal, whose movie reviews integrate current with classic. And, we visit Guadalupe Mountain National Park.
