Martinez, I agree, I love the shady little garden in the middle of Disneyland! And the orange trees are a bonus.<br /><br />David, other people have done "then and now" features, and it is always something I enjoy. If I had an annual pass (and went to the park more than once a year) I'd want to try it myself. But as it is, the $87 admission means that I spend my whole day at the park doing as many rides as I can!Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-31501342735651463882012-08-21T09:44:23.022-07:002012-08-21T09:44:23.022-07:00Major, thank you for both these.

Somehow, the morphing of some of the shops is easier to take here than other places, but I do still miss the book store and the Flower Market.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-52095402003750249422012-08-21T09:33:15.292-07:002012-08-21T09:33:15.292-07:00It's amazing how technology changes in such a ...It's amazing how technology changes in such a short time. The rescan makes it look almost brand new. <br /><br />I was thinking, like the rescan photo, has anyone ever thought of trying to match some of these old photographs with what it looks like today? I realize matching is difficult, but it would be cool to print a picture here, go to DL and try to a THEN and NOW sequence. The top photo should be easy to replicate, I think.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14714555278256576619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-61846715168114830132012-08-21T07:46:26.739-07:002012-08-21T07:46:26.739-07:00Wow!

It's a real stunner! <br /><br />As the photo ID notes, it's from sometime in either 1955 or '56. By January 1st of 1957 Sunny View Farms Jellies and Jams had morphed into the imported Candy Shop, before joining the Puffin Bake Shop to change again on July 31, 1960 into the Sunkist Citrus House.<br /><br />Thanks Major for the rescan.Nanookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255357829181568172noreply@blogger.com
