The circle was used for a jet-pack demonstration in late '65/early '66 just before the new construction and rebuild started.<br /><br />http://www.paleofuture.com/blog/tag/tomorrowland<br /><br />I know this is not related to todays post, but thought it was of interest.CoxPilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284076551547506117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-44994092705775029522009-07-20T19:26:24.497-07:002009-07-20T19:26:24.497-07:00This photo reminds me how hot and dry California w...This photo reminds me how hot and dry California was. If this was the summer, it looks like (from the shadows) about 11:00 am. People are just starting to think about lunch. Humm! Red Wagon Inn, or Plantation? Or, maybe cheeper at the Space Bar. Typical construction of that day... cut and framed on site. No pre-fab stuff. Even a little on-the-fly cinder block foundation. And those log steps... although I think they later wore out and were replaced with cement (that looked like logs).<br /><br />This is still a very special place, and I hope it always will remain. I think it would be a perfect place for a restaurant.CoxPilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284076551547506117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-49125754280571353042009-07-20T19:26:07.885-07:002009-07-20T19:26:07.885-07:00This photo reminds me how hot and dry California w...This photo reminds me how hot and dry California was.
