Few people preserve and present the glory of Mid-Century Modern America like Charles Phoenix. This bon vivant is a historian, author and chef who serves up healthy slices of MCM culture with color and humour. Phoenix tours the country giving slide shows and telling stories of the images he has captured over the years. You can check out a piece of that action in one of his many books, Southern Californialand, which I’m proud to include in my Tiki Pop Culture library.
