6. The Last Place Like This

Hidden behind Chevron's tank farm and built on the bones of condemned ships, Point San Pablo Harbor feels like a place that shouldn't exist. In this episode, we explore the history, characters, and unlikely revival of one of the last truly eccentric waterfront communities on San Francisco Bay. From its haunted breakwater to John Wayne, fishermen, resourceful holdouts, and occasional outlaws, this is the story of a place that survived by refusing to give up its soul.Featuring Rob Fyfe, Daryl Henline, Yaella Frankel, Venus Rose, Ross Kaplan, Bob Beard, Kathleen Clancy, Bob Keller, Sue Rosenof, Peter Thelin, Michael Herz, and others.Credits:Hosted by Kate Josephs and Michael HerzVoice work by Ted McDonaldTheme music by Zac BentzAdditional music from the Museum of Classic Chicago Television; closing song "Red Rose Saloon" by Unbeschirmt at Pixabay, Creative Commons license 1.0.
