Slab City: Reel 019

Interview with Sheila and Jim on assortment of topics – snowbirds, local politicians, UPS delivery, Niland Chamber of Commerce – but the technical quality of this video isn’t always the greatest. Skin tones tend to be orange/warm and Sheila cackles a lot. Legal ownership of land and B.L.M. issues are also talked about by Sheila.
