Janet Charlton's HOLLYWOOD

Our adorable friend Charles Phoenix loves California, Americana, and especially anything vintage, as much as we do. He is definitely an authority on kitsch pop culture. Once he even wowed a Hollywood crowd by demonstrating how to make Ambrosia at a party at our own house! When he’s not hosting his amazing “tours,” or presenting slide shows, he’s discovering new places we should all know about. Above, Charles introduces us to Gunther’s Ice Cream Parlor in Sacramento, California (since 1949) and their famous Ice Cream Clown Cones.
