About the Show

Over 11 years and 570 episodes, John Rabe and Team Off-Ramp scoured SoCal for the people, places, and ideas whose stories needed to be told, and the show became a love-letter to Los Angeles. Now, John is sharing selections from the Off-Ramp vault to help you explore this imperfect paradise.

Hard Times: Gregory Crosby, 62
Gregory Grosby

In another installment of Off-Ramp's Hard Times series--where we look at those in the area left behind by our economic "recovery"--Kevin Ferguson talks to Gregory Crosby, a California native.

Gregory lost his job after an accident. He's been unemployed ever since and is currently living in a friend's garage. Salvation Army's Homeless Connect Day on a rainy day in October hoping to find housing, and maybe a new pair of glasses.
