Our Orange County bungalow studio is nearing 100 years old and it's as solid as ever.

It can be seen here on Viewliner's post from November 12, 2008:<BR/><BR/>http://viewlinerltd.blogspot.com/2008/11/knotts-calico.html<BR/><BR/>Cedar Fair is taking history and just tossing it aside like garbage. I'm with you Dave about the way things are here in So. Cal. I was born and raised here and the attitude always seems to be just to tear things down and repace them with a big stucco "box". It's awful.<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for the pics today. They help reinforce my memories of the way Knott's used to be.<BR/><BR/>Oh and as for the Witch Mountain movies....yay, it's Prudence (Kim Richards) from Nanny and the Professor!TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-11887561427312427712009-03-13T09:50:00.000-07:002009-03-13T09:50:00.000-07:00Great Photos!

I had hopes that the mountain range would be rebuilt and they would be put back where they belong after tconstrcution was finished but that didn't happen. Great picture of the Calico saloon. I especially like the watering trough out front that is made out of a log. I worry that the Calico saloon may soon be "refurbished" (torn down and replaced with a substandard replica). The exterior is getting to be in pretty bad shape. Hopefully the size and cost of the project will scare them away for a few more years. Yes much of the park is already gone but that gives me more incentive to go and appreciate the few things that are left. Thanks again for the great pics!Let's Talk Knott'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13373470438828078240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-10855091530763515072009-03-13T08:49:00.000-07:002009-03-13T08:49:00.000-07:00I haven't seen "Escape to Witch Mountain" for many...I haven't seen "Escape to Witch Mountain" for many years, but they were showing the sequel on TV a few months ago, and phew, is it ever terrible! At first I thought it was charmingly bad, but then the fun wore off.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile.... great Knott's pics!Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.com
