Lindbergh Beacon | Visiting with Huell Howser | KCET
Ойын-сауық
Huell traces the history of the Lindbergh Beacon, which was discovered at a city warehouse in the 1990s, restored to its original glory, and now shines over downtown Los Angeles from the top of City Hall. We also revisit Huell's original segment on the Beacon, when Project Restore rededicated the Beacon in the L.A.X. terminal after its 50-year absence.

Anybody wants to add a good comment feel free to add a comment. !!
This was Huells last video according to IMDB season 17 episode 4 Rest In Power Huell !!!
There's always much to complain about, but I love L.A.!
it's rather eerie at moment 20:21 when he announces the date, because just days later, history would once again be made in Los Angeles, though in a completely different manner.

Good catch! The L.A. Riots began exactly one week later.
Huell was in great shape, so if he was complaining about that climb, it must have really been tough!
Nice to see this show and remember my dad.

January 7, 2013. He was 67, but looked so much younger.
I was wondering how they bring that heavy thing up and down from a building that high, very cool, I hope the light is still up there.
RIP Georgia Rosenberry 1944 - 2010
Back in the days before the streets around city hall were the home of the homeless
So informative and loving my city even more...
A very good idea.....if you want your plane to try to land on spring street!
Now I want to watch The Aviator.
Huell should have ducked when he passed that radar beacon

This could have been the moment Huell was doomed.
the griffith park observatory was started construction 1933. Could that have been the reason for the red light replacing the beacon that year?

No. That had nothing to do with it. If you watched the video and payed attention, you would have heard the explanation.

Great to see how taxpayer money is being used. All those city employees making good money hard at work restoring the beacon, all on the public coin. These politicians never will get a clue it seems

I'd rather they spend 10 million dollars to restore a piece of history, than to give a single dollar to some moocher who has a list of excuses why they won't get a job.
