From July, 2007: Huell Howser took a visit to Blooms General Store in the Arts District, after the passing of Joel Bloom. Howser's gift was not just finding stories, but connecting with people who understood the stories of their neighborhoods.
The longtime host of KCET series "California's Gold," died last night of natural causes. He was 67.
ADD: My post on Huell at KCET.
KCET has a list of Huell tributes.

HH will be missed to say the least. Another who left us much too young. How did he find stories, how did he find the people in the know in each 'hood he visited up & down CA? How did he find you??
Ed, you have a wonderful LA centric blog here! The only thing it appears to lack is more readers/commenters - or, at least more loftdwellers! But I'm glad I found it, and came to visit. I'll stop by again whenever I'm in LA! Please ck out my old blog & let me know what you think.
