KCET will air an upcoming special in June it's acquiring from award winning producers Saul Gonzalez and Isaac Mizrahi.

"Things That Aren't Here Anymore 3" follows the tradition of popular specials about Southern California's past. Created by the producers of the original "Things", the show will explore and celebrate beloved Southland places of the 1960s, 70s and early 80s.
Here's an open call for your help. I hope you agree this promises to be a lot of fun.
