Diningland - SMOKEJUMPERS GRILL

Mallory and I went to the new SmokeJumpers Grill to record a segment of Diningland.

We tried to do a live stream using Periscope but alas, we were not able to get a strong enough signal. However, all is not lost because here are a few pictures from that afternoon.


Here's one more look at the entrance.


While the building remains basically the same, it does have a new paint job. The interior decorations have COMPLETELY changed, reflecting the history of California firefighting with an emphasis on Smoke Jumpers. If for some reason you don't know what Smoke Jumpers are, I'll tell you. They are VERY brave firefighters that literally jump our of planes into the fires, blindly jumping into smoke!


The fixins' bar is still there!

Mallory had the cheeseburger and fries.

I opted for the grilled chicken sandwich with a side of coleslaw. No, the onion rings are not mine!
 

 The onion rings were for my friend, Erik, but he graciously let me have a couple, LOL! Eric and Jack are a couple of friends I've known for several years and they were in town for the Star Wars Celebration. They patiently sat and listened to Mallory and I record our Diningland segment when inspiration struck (light a bolt of lightening) and I decided to turn our segment into Diningland - The Star Wars Discussion, LOL! I hope you enjoyed these pics and I hope you check out the podcast. This particular issue will be coming out in the next couple of days. You can find it either on iTunes or the Gazette website - just click on the Podcast tab.

Follow us on Periscope because someday we will be able to do a live stream from the Parks! Look for thedlgazette.

Disneyland Trash Cans

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...
