It was fun to see him. He was a good lookin older guy, and seemed like a very good man. What I also found impressive was that he appeared with Klondike Kate on that episode. They didn’t do too well as contestants though :(<br />Monkey Cage Kurthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14416939013314956531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-23802080933093370832015-03-23T12:33:56.005-07:002015-03-23T12:33:56.005-07:00OH MY GOSH, Melissa is back!!!

"Let's only partially tear down that building". What?? Or you could just leave it be for no money at all! So strange. I guess they figured that people REALLY wanted to eat their meals "al fresco".<br /><br />Chuck, you have already helped a lot, but I encourage all GDB readers to go through their photos and share the Knott's/Disneyland/??? pictures here!<br /><br />Melissa is back!! Hooray, and welcome. I have seen that "You Bet Your Life", Walter is pretty low-key, but I get the feeling he is tickled to be standing next to Groucho.<br /><br />K. Martinez, I only wish I had more vintage Knott's to share. And somehow it's more fun when they are from somebody who can tell us something about them! Just like the pix that you have shared.<br /><br />Melissa again, I was worried (really!), so I am glad to know that you are OK.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-17990764136234103062015-03-23T08:17:23.101-07:002015-03-23T08:17:23.101-07:00Thanks, Ken!

The remnants/ruins of it now just contain tables and chairs for guests to sit and eat their food. Sadly, the destruction at Knott's began way back when.TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-19093203866226798232015-03-23T01:22:06.310-07:002015-03-23T01:22:06.310-07:00Major, that miniature town was located close to th...Major, that miniature town was located close to the Merry Go Round (in it's old location).
