Comedian and Pop Culture Expert Charles PhoenixJoin comedian and pop culture expert Charles Phoenix on an all-new field trip adventure. Charles Phoenix’s “Up with Downey” Tour, a 5-hour Up with bus and walking tour of America’s greatest space age suburban city, Downey, CA, takes place on Saturday, March 27 from 12 pm to 5 pm.

Downey is a mid-century suburban smorgasbord of googie landmarks, sprawling ranch homes, designer office buildings and deluxe dingbat apartments. But Downey isn’t all about the space age. Hidden away in the corner of city is a virtually undiscovered ghost town of amazing 1880s-1920s buildings in an enormous giant tree garden setting – all remains of the Los Angeles County “Poor Farm,” founded in 1888. According to Charles, “You have to see it to believe it.”
