Very nice synopsis of Chris’ fav pop culture spots. He takes some amazing pictures and is voice over is superb because he knows exactly what to say about each picture and not make it some boring lecture (like when you were sitting in history class at school). With pictures and short story, Chris can capture something for everyone. My all time favorite is Elvis, and seeing the picture of where his career began is priceless. I wish I could download that one!

Chris Epting knows what he is talking about and loves to share that passion with the viewer. This short synopsis is so very exciting and informative because you get to experience the sights you have most likely never seen or heard the stories behind them. Chris makes sure that you get to be a part of something that most people don’t and gives you the insider views at great historical events. I enjoyed every moment of it!

I love this!
Once, a couple of decades ago, I was on a Greyhound bus trip. I woke up from one of the many naps bus trips inspire, and found myself looking at the tower from the old TV show, F Troop. I don’t remember where it was. Do you know? I don’t even know if it was the actual set or a facsimile. Or maybe I just dreamed it.

Sophia—I’m fairly certain that F Troop was shot entirely on the backlot at Warner Bros in Southern California (part of the set may still actually exist), so it may have been a dream, but still a pretty good one :)

If I’m dreaming about F Troop. I clearly need a life. And now I will be singing the theme song for another day. I just got rid of it.
I wonder if there was an F Troop park, like the old Jellystone Park.

Chris,
This is tremendous. I agree wholeheartedly with your choices! Kimi and I love that you had James Dean #1 - but, why wouldn’t you? Hope to see you soon.
