Pepe’s Restaurants have been proudly serving delicious Mexican food to the Southern California area since 1962. The restaurant was started by three brothers, Joe, Tony, and Fred. At first, they struggled to attract customers and had to change locations several times. Eventually, they found a permanent home in Alhambra and decided to name the restaurant “Pepe’s” after their nephew Pepe, who was serving in the Vietnam War. Tony, the brother who renamed the restaurant, wanted to honor his nephew.

As time went on, Pepe’s grew more popular, but in 1973, they faced a big challenge when Tony passed away. Joe and Fred took on the responsibility of running the restaurant together. By 1976, the youngest brother, Fred, joined in, helping to open a new Pepe’s location in Downey. Since then, they have expanded even further, opening new restaurants in Los Angeles, the San Gabriel Valley, and Orange County.

Pepe’s is known for serving authentic and high-quality Mexican dishes, with special recipes that have been kept within the family. This focus on quality and family tradition has helped Pepe’s become a beloved local establishment. - Pepe's

Embracing the Rain: Reflections on Faith, Solitude, and Cherished Memories

Image
 Written By Ken Hulsey This weekend brought some wonderful fall showers to Central Louisiana, along with much-welcomed cooler temperatures. For the first time in a long while, I was able to enjoy some quality time outside. I’m a sentimental person who loves rain; I enjoy watching it fall, and when it’s not thundering, I like to take long walks in the rain. There’s something magical about experiencing the soothing calmness of a gentle or steady rain shower. The sounds change, the air feels different, and the overall vibe transforms. Rain also provides an opportunity for solitude—a chance to think, reflect, and connect with God.

A Battle for Survival in the Amazon: The Gill-Man Rises from the Depths in 'Creature From The Black Lagoon'!

Image
Written By: Ken Hulsey The classic movie monster Creature from the Black Lagoon, developed by Universal Pictures, was the last in a long line of iconic horror characters. By the 1950s, most studios had shifted their focus from horror to science fiction films. Universal followed this trend, with Creature from the Black Lagoon arriving soon after the popular It Came from Outer Space, both starring Richard Carlson in his signature role as the heroic scientist. This was a departure from the typical portrayal of scientists as villainous or misguided. It was a logical move for Universal to blend their established horror brand with the emerging science fiction genre, resulting in the creation of Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Relaxing Morning at Explore Louisiana Welcome Center | Beautiful Louisiana

Image
 Story and Photos by Ken Hulsey Last month, while driving from Beaumont, Texas to Lafayette, I stopped at the Explore Louisiana Welcome Center – a familiar pit stop where I had previously stretched my legs and used the facilities. However, this time, a co-worker's recommendation of a nearby nature trail piqued my interest. Though I had been to the center before, I had never ventured out to explore the spectacular swamp trail winding around the adjacent lake.

Toys By Roy - Winrock Center Mall - Albuquerque, New Mexico - A Trip Down Memory Lane

Image
If you grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico , during the 60s, 70s, or 80s, you likely have fond memories of Toys By Roy. The store was easily recognizable thanks to the large rocking horse logo on its front. In 1961, Roy Ater opened his first Toys By Roy in the brand-new Winrock Center Mall, which was marketed as ‘the largest in the Southwest.’ Ater’s toy store quickly became one of the mall's first and most successful retailers. Over the following years, Toys By Roy expanded into a successful franchise with 34 locations across 9 states.

At this point, a horrified Linus cries out, "Ohhhh, you didn't tell me you were going to kill it!" and begins wailing.

The World's Most Famous Monster Returns To Its Terrifying Roots In Godzilla Minus One

Image
Written by Ken Kulsey. Godzilla Minus One is arguably the best monster movie ever! Heck, it is honestly one of the best movies that I have seen in years. This is nothing like the campy Godzilla films you know. The human drama will make you cry, and the monster action is filled with 'OH MY GOD!" moments. Great script, great acting, and visuals that will blow your mind. Even if you are not a monster movie fan, this is a must-see movie event!

Rediscovering Smith's Landing: The Story of Louisiana's First Train Station and Its Legacy

Image
Today, I want to share the story of the first railroad built in central Louisiana. Known as the Red River Railroad , or sometimes the Ralph Smith Smith Railroad , this was the very first railroad constructed west of the Mississippi River. It was a simple and roughly built line that transported cotton and other goods that were brought in by barges on Bayou Boeuf .   The place where this railroad began is called Smith’s Landing , and the remaining building in the town of Lecompte is recognized as the first train station built west of the Mississippi. The tracks ran from Lecompte to the banks of the Red River in Alexandria , but much of this route has been lost to time. During the Civil War , Union soldiers tore up the tracks to create a levee, and because of that, we don’t know exactly where the railroad used to go. Interestingly, when crews were constructing the old Jefferson Highway that runs between Lecompte and Alexandria, they found some remnants of the Red River Railroad, whi...

Retro Cartoon Rewind | The Adventures of a Wascally Wabbit and a Screwball Duck | Part 4

Image
 For this installment of Retro Cartoon Rewind, I decided to feature a selection of my favorite cartoon shorts featuring Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. If you’re like me, you probably grew up watching these cartoons, and they undoubtedly influenced your childhood. I consider myself to be an equal blend of the Wascally Wabbit and the Screwball Duck, both mentally and emotionally, which probably explains a lot of things—just ask my friends and relatives! Aside from the psychiatrist bills, these wonderful cartoons still make me laugh out loud and bring back so many fond memories.

Crossing Bridges: A Journey of Gratitude and Divine Connection

Image
Photo and Story by Ken Hulsey The title of this devotional is simply "Bridges," a topic I initially wanted to write about a couple of weeks ago. It seems that everywhere I have traveled over the past few weeks has involved crossing a bridge. To provide some geographical context, I have been living here in Louisiana for the past several years, and my wife and I were in awe of the number of rivers, bayous, and lakes in this state when we first arrived. Coming from the California desert, we were not prepared for the abundance of water we would encounter here. Honestly, there is more water alongside the highways in the ditches after a good rain than in a typical lake in California .
