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.

Corporation for Public Broadcasting

Pit 91 is open again at The La Brea Tar Pits... which is really "The Tar Pits," if you think about it. Queena Kim went down into the pit and talked with excavators who are painstakingly uncovering LA's ancient history.
