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

How the St. Francisville Caboose Connects Us to the Past of the West Feliciana Railroad!

Image
 Photos By Ken Hulsey Text from signage adjacent to the railcar History of ICG 199328 The St. Francisville Caboose is an important historical attraction for the town. The caboose was purchased by the town in 1995 and moved to its current location through a generous donation by Richard Holcomb. The intention was that it would serve to remind visitors and future generations of the history of the West Feliciana Railroad, the third oldest railroad in the United States. The WFRR ran from Bayou Sara to Woodville, MS from 1834 to 1978, carrying the region's valuable cotton crop to the Mississippi River where it could be easily shipped to New Orleans. It was innovative, ahead of its time and necessary.

Step Back in Time: A Journey Through the Heart of Louisiana's Acadian Heritage

Image
 Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey This past weekend, Terri and I decided to brave the heat and humidity and spend an afternoon touring the Acadian Village (Museum) in Lafayette. I have to admit that this has been a location that I have wanted to see for some time now. When Terri woke up Saturday morning and said that she wanted to go explore the location, I was more than happy to oblige her.

12 Years of Struggle: Finding Authority and Healing in the Midst of Life's Storms

Image
 From a Sermon by Pastor Richie Thornton The first thing I want you to see in this passage this morning is that this woman struggled with this issue of blood for 12 years. 12 years is a long time! The number 12 has a significant meaning in the Bible… The number 12 typically means perfection or authority, and often the number 12 is used in a context of government… For instance, we see the 12 disciples; the 12 tribes of Israel; 12 spies who went to scout the Promised Land… In Revelation we read about the New Jerusalem; we see the number 12 repeatedly: 12 gates, 12 angels, 12 foundations…all this points to perfection, ultimately coming under God’s authority and under God’s government.

Discovering the Magic of the Las Vegas Strip: A Journey Beyond the Casinos

Image
 Photos and Story By: Ken Hulsey I have to share that I truly miss being just a three-hour drive from the incredible attractions of the Las Vegas Strip. There’s really nothing quite like it anywhere in the world! The beauty of the Strip is that you don’t even have to place a bet or catch a show to find entertainment. I remember spending an entire evening simply strolling along the Strip, taking in the breathtaking sights and observing the vibrant crowd. It was hours filled with joy and amusement, all without spending a single dollar!

Since I had the day off, I decided to wake up early and venture out with my camera to capture some of the stunning scenery here in Central Louisiana.

Curiosity Takes the Wheel: Discovering Shreveport's Historic Central Railroad Station

Image
Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey If you have ever driven on Interstate 20 through Shreveport, Louisiana, you may have noticed a building just north of the highway that looks very much like an old railroad station. I have literally driven past it over a dozen times and wondered just that. A week ago, my curiosity got the best of me, and I decided to go see if what I was seeing was indeed what I thought it was. (Writing can be hard at times, my friends.)

One Nation Under God: Rediscovering America's Divine Purpose in Unity

Image
 From Pastor Steve Smothermon Think about the Pledge of Allegiance, especially where it says, One nation under God. A beacon of light: Scripture teaches in Amos 3:3 How can two walk together unless they be agreed? God brought people from every nation of the world to make and create America — a place that would be a beacon of light to the world that God is real and that He sent Jesus to save us; a light that other nations would envy; a light that when a nation honors God, He will cause it, them to prosper; a nation like no other nation; one nation under God; “one nation.”

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.
