About this episode
Locals don’t always like to go where the tourists flock in their own town, and as a result there is a lot that they might be missing. A new program, Doors Open California hopes to change that by welcoming Californians to historic sites, movie locations, museums and more all in their backyard. We’ll talk to plugged-in locals about the cool sites and situations that are just around the corner, and hear from you about the Bay Area spots that you think are worth a visit.
Guests:
Peter Hartlaub, culture critic, The San Francisco Chronicle
Pendarvis "Pen" Harshaw, columnist, KQED Arts
Kara Newport, president and CEO, Filoli
