Hula Ville
Recorded in Victorville, CA.
Premiered July 7, 1993, on All Things Considered.


Along California's Highway 15, about 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles, stands an enormous weather-beaten billboard of a girl in a hula skirt. The sign says, "You've reached Hulaville," a desert park built and operated for almost forty years by poet and artist Miles Mahan.
