:06 - Town of the Week, Eureka, California. This week's town is a port city located near the extensive preserves of the world's oldest trees, the Coastal Redwoods. Eureka, on Humboldt Bay, is the county seat and principal city in Humboldt County, California. Eureka is a Greek word meaning "I have found it," and is the official motto of California. Eureka was a major player in the historic west coast lumber trade, with 140 lumber schooners operating in Humboldt Bay. Eureka is the site of hundreds of Victorian homes including the Carson Mansion. The Carson Mansion on 2nd and M Streets is perhaps the most spectacular Victorian in the nation, is a museum and was built in 1884. Old Town Eureka, the original downtown center of this busy city in the 19th Century, has been restored as a lively arts center. Old Town has been declared an Historic District by the National Register. Eureka's livelihood has long been tied to salmon fisheries and oyster farming. On January 9th, last month, a Richter magnitude 6.5 earthquake occurred about 33 miles offshore of Eureka. The quake was described as a "jumper", imposing mostly vertical shocks from the ground, leading to broken windows, overturned shelving, and loss of architectural detail on a number of historic buildings. Injuries were described as minor. Eureka has a population of more than 42,000 people. Major employers include College of the Redwoods, County of Humboldt, and St. Joseph Hospital. Known as the "Queen City of the Ultimate West", it is our Town of the Week, Eureka, CA.

:18 - Watch out Jim, we're throwing the dart to select Hell's Canyon on the Idaho/Oregon border. Jim will need to find a town.

:27 - Let's give a big round of applause for a 64th wedding anniversary! Of course they've been married 80-some years but they don't celebrate the first few. They are headed out on a celebratory cruise and it will be a "heck" of a good time. Farah is in skin care, and she tests cosmetics on her husband not bunnies. Exfoliate.

:35 - Whad'Ya Know? Quiz with Stephanie and Terry who consumes more words than the average person. Unfortunately they are not up on their CEO resignation Tweets.

:48 - Since our Place To Be hasn't landed in Austin, here's a grooving jazz interlude.
