Podcast: What The Hal?
Episode: 93 - 52 in 52: Downey
Description: The city of Downey is nestled in-between Los Angeles and Orange counties and is often times considered part of the gateway cities. What makes Downey so interesting is it’s the birthplace of the aerospace industry—home to the Columbia Memorial Space Center. Another fun fact—it’s also home to the oldest McDonalds restaurant.
In this podcast we speak with Carol Rowland with “Keep Downey Beautiful” who talked about the city’s history and culture.
We then met with the President of the Columbia Memorial Space Center Ben Dickow who talked about the aerospace background of the city.
