Sunday Stew
It's Sunday, and that means it is time for more random images from my collection.
Here's a nice closeup of a cannon that used to be in the dining area behind Captain Hook's Pirate Ship. It's a cool detail of something that was completely unnecessary, but it added a bit more "piratey" atmosphere to the place. Nice craftsmanship!
It's September 1960, and the E.P. Ripley is comin' into the station. Or maybe it's already leaving? I still love riding the DLRR as much as ever.
"Carol and Popcorn", that's how this image was labeled. Carol is looking smashing (like Audrey Hepburn's mom) with her black hat, simple-yet-elegant black and gray outfit, and of course the white gloves for that finishing touch. Carol and the popcorn vendor seem to be enjoying their conversation with each other!

Interesting that the popcorn wagon stands on steel brackets to keep the wagon level and prevent it from rolling down into the hub.

Actually, I think thats the Fred Gurley (#3) pulling into the station. That cannon is great! Too bad they didn't have it tucked away in storage for the Pirates overlay on Tom Sawyer Island.
Rob, you are correct...I don't know where my brain was last night!
Boy, I could go for some popcorn right now
I think it's great that the basic design of that style of popcorn cart hasn't changed much over the past 50 years.
I believe that popcorn cart is the same one that is currently in Plaza Hub - it was painted gold for the 50th anniversary as one of the "opening day attractions."
