The Historic CARMEL VALLEY GUIDE 2004-2005  |
The History Company researched, created, designed and published the first annual "Historic Carmel Valley Guide" for the Carmel Valley Chamber of Commerce. It follows the same format size and construction as the five annual volumes of the "Cannery Row Visitors Guide" created and published for the Cannery Row Company (1996-2001). The History Company is no longer responsible for the changes in design and content since Visitor Guide No. 5. Carmel Valley history, from the first Spanish expolorers to walk the beaches at Carmel Bay and their return to establish the Alta California Mission system, to the ranches, wineries and landmarks like "Rosie's Cracker Barrel" general store, are presented with stunning detailed contour maps of Carmel Valley's four regions—from its mountians to the sea. |
The Historic Carmel Valley Guide can be obtained by contacting the Carmel Valley Chamber of Commerce, 13. West Carmel Valley Road, Carmel Valley, CA 93924, by calling (831) 659-4000, or by e-mail at info@carmelvalleychamber.com. The fist known photo of Carmel Valley, from the Pat Hathaway Collection.  |

"Bombardier's Lounge" WWII Big Band Jazz from KRML 1410 AM, 92.5 & 93.7 FM Cable, Carmel-By-The-Sea  Collings Foundation B-24 at the Monterey Jet Center, May 2004 (Gallery)  |
"Capt. Mike" takes off every Friday afternoon at 1:00 PM for flights back to the 1940s and "The Music That Helped Save the World." From the same station that Clint Eastwood played a DJ in "Play Misty For Me"—a station now located in the Eastwood Building (San Carlos Street between 5th and 6th Avenues in Carmel-By-The-Sea)—the music celebrates the Big Band Jazz of World War II. Complete with the authentic sounds of the bombers that waged the heroic air war. The show's name conjures an aircrew in a Quonset ready-shack, listening to a radio on the side of a sod runway somewhere in Britain about 1943. Or the cramped space in the nose of a B-17, B-24 or B-25, on a mission (in this case to bring music to a troubled world).

"Bombardier's Lounge" also has its historic research side, with interviews with aircrews that flew the legendary historic aircraft now only seen displayed in major air shows. Their stories are a chance to listen, touch and feel living American history.
