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

The Abandoned Roads of England Airpark in Alexandria, Louisiana

 Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey As many of you already know, I have begun to take my physical health seriously. Earlier this year, a routine trip to the doctor served as a wake-up call when my test results showed that my health was in dire shape. Lifestyle changes had to be made, or I was going to end up in a very bad way. I started watching what I ate, began exercising, and started taking a handful of medications every morning. It seems that when you start getting older, a sedentary lifestyle isn't good for you.  Who knew?

Vincent Hill Station's Wonderful Caboose Collection - Acton, California

Image
 Photos & Story by Ken Hulsey It’s fitting that a restaurant housed in an old train station would boast the finest collection of vintage railroad cabooses in Southern California. Located just off the Sierra Highway (California Highway 14) in Acton, Vincent Hill Station is a fine dining establishment that features live music and dancing. Interestingly, my main reason for stopping off the desert highway was not the food, but rather the impressive collection of cabooses visible from the road.

Or, sometimes as useful, try it in your mind as a scene in GUNSMOKE, NAKED CITY, or some similar show. Would you believe the people and the scene if it happened there?

60 Years of 'Star Trek': How a Single Series Shaped and Defined a Cultural Legacy! | Ken Hulsey

Image
I, like many science fiction fans, developed my lifelong love for the genre by watching "Star Trek." I didn’t discover the series on my own; I was encouraged to watch it by my older cousin, Rick, who was an avid fan. The first episode I ever saw was "Arena," which featured Captain Kirk facing off against the lizard-like captain of the Gorn species in a fight to the death, orchestrated by an unseen alien race. As a young boy fascinated by dinosaurs, the reptilian Gorn initially captured my attention. However, it was the intelligent and well-crafted story that kept me coming back for more episodes. My youthful spirit of adventure, combined with a desire to explore beyond the confines of my backyard, made the series' exploration-driven storylines and charismatic characters a perfect match for me. What six-year-old boy doesn’t dream of piloting a starship across the vast, uncharted regions of infinite space? Thus, I became a Trekkie and a lifelong science fiction fa...

God's Promise of Protection - Divine Assurance | Christian Living Journal

 Written By Ken Hulsey In 2021, I experienced a harrowing incident on my drive home from work. While navigating the highway in heavy rain, I hydroplaned and lost control of my car. However, I can say without hesitation that Jesus protected me through the entire ordeal. In the days that followed, many people remarked on how 'lucky' I was to have emerged unharmed. But I am here to profess that it was not mere luck - it was divine intervention.

The Joy of Just Being: Embrace Life's Moments and Keep Moving Forward | Random Ramblings

Image
This morning, I had a wonderful chat with the preacher. Honestly, it felt like we were the only two in the room, even though I'm pretty sure everyone else was eavesdropping! You know, those moments that feel personal? I definitely pay attention then! Excuses are like invisible walls; they create distance, and distance leads to all sorts of wreckage—be it physical, emotional, financial, or even self-destructive. The antidote to that? Family connections! Lean into your relationship with God the Father and your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. Sure, isolation might feel cozy at first, but it only adds to that distance. Remember what John 14:6 says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.”

The Enduring Legacy of Macross: How a Groundbreaking Series Reshaped Anime Forever!

Image
Written By: Ken Hulsey  In 1984, the animated television series Macross soared to new heights in popularity in Japan. Never before had an animated series captivated the Japanese public like Macross. While shows like Astro Boy , Kimba , Gigantor , Mazinger , and Gundam had amassed devoted young followings, Macross transcended age, class, and gender barriers in a way no anime had before it. Songs from the series, sung by voice actress Mari Iijima as the character Lynn Minmay , were climbing the charts one after another. In fact, Lynn Minmay had become as much of a pop culture phenomenon in Japan as Madonna was in America, despite being a fictional character. Recognizing Macross' widespread popularity, directors Noboru Ishiguro and Shoji Kawamori began work on a big-screen adaptation of the series. A theatrical release would allow for higher production values, crisper animation, and a more mature storyline. The challenge would be condensing the TV series's numerous episodes and...
