Let's look at Main Street

Again? Silly you. Of course! There is no rhyme or reason to these photos - I just shot what caught my eye.


I sooo wish they would make this a coffee house again.



I rarely see anyone sitting here.



Here's a close-up of one of the window displays. Pretty cool, eh?




Work continues on the Carnation Cafe.


And now, here's a treat for you...well, sort of. I reached up, up, UP and put my hand over the construction walls to take a few pictures of the Carnation Cafe construction. My first attempt wasn't very good as you can see...


However, the next two shots are much better!



It was very warm that day so I popped into a shop to escape the sun for a spell and to look at the details that most people don't notice.






Back outside, I loved the way this looked in the light. I don't know, it just looks pretty!



It's funny, I love taking pictures of the streetcars but I rarely take the time to ride them. What a dope!


My last stop on Main Street was a quick peek at the newly refurbished Coke Corner.


I'm not sure I can tell what they did to refurbish it. The next 3 photos were taken back in January of 2008. You tell me if you can see anything different!




That's it for Main Street. Come back tomorrow and we'll look at something else and the most magical place on Earth.

Oh how I agree, the 'Coffee Gardens' in it's many varieties was the best (IMHO) real estate in the park to just sit, relax and watch. I have always felt a special tingle of pix-y dust in this little corner of the park. There is just magic from the East tunnel entrance around to the start of Main Street proper. Yes, the mirror side of town square is 'holy ground' with Walt's Apartment, but the East side has it's own feeling of Happiness!
BTW..The back side of the Indian Chief framed in the doorway picture is an instant classic. Good work and excellent delivery of subject matter. I just love your little shopping trips...hehehehehe.

Did you stop by City Hall to give 'em your 2 cents about the Coffee Gardens?

Disneyland Trash Cans

Image
Yes Folks, trash cans! Do you know where these two beauties are? You'll find them as soon as you come through the gates at Disneyland. This should be easy to figure out - Adventureland! How about these? Hmmm??? New Orleans Square! Here's a trick question: Which two lands share the same style of trash can??? You can find these two in Frontierland. Now we're in Fantasyland. Still in Fantasyland but wait!!! The area around It's A Small World has it's very own trash can theme! Tomorrowland!!! OK all you hot shots... WHERE is this MYSTERY trash can???? Do these look familiar? They should. Critter Country has the same theme as Frontierland. I know what you're thinking...you're thinking that I've already posted these and I'm trying to trick you. HA! I have not already posted these! If you look closely, these differ slightly from the trash cans in New Orleans Square. THESE are in the area next to the Haunted ...

Getting back into the swing of things...

Image
It's been a rough couple of days... I came back to work only to be told that I will no longer have a job as of February 1st! Ya, it was a big shocker to me, too. That being said, everything else is back to "normal" and I will begin posting on a regular basis again. Below is a little video I put together taken on my last night in Florida. There is a wonderful little town called Ocala, which I dearly love. I am providing links to two sites, one here and one here , so you can have a little information about the place. OOPS! I just realized that I had posted some of the previous video earlier in the week. Oh well.. at least this one contains new footage, LOL. Peter said I tired him how SO MUCH that I can't go back to Florida for at least two years. hee hee hee

Upside down Christmas Trees?

Image
We interrupt our Disneyland visit to bring you a few pics from Tom's Farms . Ever heard of it? Unless you live in Southern California, probably not. It's a neato keen place and I really dig it. I had not been there in 10 years so it was high time I paid them a visit. They have tons of outdoor seating and it's a great place to people watch. I had a great bacon cheeseburger and then walked off my lunch by window shopping. A life sized Santa! (And he looks a bit creepy the way he's standing there. "Hey baby.." Ever seen an upside down Christmas tree? Me either! I decided to take pictures of all the trees... Look! Another upside down Christmas tree. Here's a twist - HALF of an upside down Christmas tree hung on the wall! I kinda like it. These are ginormous ornaments hanging from the ceiling. I'm already planning a return trip to Tom's Farms. I've always wanted a sleigh bed. Ain't he cute??? There is a big can...
