Our focus this week is on the Trails, a legendary Western-themed Route 66 roadhouse that operated in Duarte, California from 1952-2001. We talk with Duarte City Planner Jason Golding, who shares colorful memories of his first job, as a Trails busboy. We also visit with Larry Moon, co-owner of Pasadena’s Di-No Computers, founded by his father-in-law Sal Cordaro, famed throughout the San Gabriel Valley as the longtime organist in the Trails’ lounge.
