Main Street, September 1959

It's time for a visit to Main Street USA, circa 1959. As you can see, this photo has some cool details, particularly that red sign strung across Main Street, touting the 6 fabulous additions to Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. In addition, there are masonite signs hung every 50 feet or so, each with beautiful artwork for each new attraction. Oh, how I wish I had one of those! In the foreground, a ferocious kid brandishes his souvenir spear at us; you might think that he picked it up at Tiki's Tropical Imports, but we will see in a future post that he probably got it at Frontierland's Trading Post. I'll let you decide, when that day comes!


Another shot, a bit further up the street. There's the Gibson Greeting Cards store, and a stroller to torture Daveland. Mom's carrying an armload of bags, who knows what wonders they contain?
