- There's always a unique and wonderful story waiting to be discovered in San Diego if you know where to look.

The places we pass every day, a neighborhood, a building, a back road, they carry layers of history that are easy to miss but hard to forget once you discover them.

Hello, I'm Elsa Sevilla, host of "Historic Places."

What I love most about history is the detective work of finding unique, visual, and powerful stories that connect us across generations and cultures and across time.

It reminds us that the place we call home has been shaped by many voices, people, moments, and stories.

I've curated a collection on KPBS+ that brings some of those stories together, thoughtful and engaging programs that help illuminate the history all around us and invite you to look a little closer and maybe see something familiar in a whole new way.

I hope you'll take some time to explore and enjoy the collection.

And if you'd like to go even further, I encourage you to become a KPBS member.

Membership gives you extended access to a deep library of content through KPBS Passport, while supporting the storytelling that brings these histories to life.

Thanks for watching.

I hope you'll dive in and discover something new.
