Listen "The Rancho Roots of Mission Viejo"
Episode Synopsis
How did a 1960s master-planned suburb use its century-old rancho heritage to form a new vernacular? The story of Mission Viejo spans so many issues--the founding families of modern Southern California, the transformation of our built environment, historical romanticism and cultural appropriation, the overlooked heritage of Orange County, and the need to preserve it. Recent alum Krista Nicholds shares with producer Willa Seidenberg tales from her thesis, The Enduring Romance of the Rancho: Mission Viejo, 1964 to 1967.Connect with us on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn!
