We are back at Disneyland in 1957 inside the Swift Market House on Main Street. Guests are busy perusing the wares, probably not noticing what immediately caught my eye: a flyer high on the wall promoting the Southern Fried Chicken Dinners at the Chicken Plantation Restaurant in Frontierland.

Back to the Market House – imagine going to Disneyland to purchase toilet soap!
Up the street, guests are relaxing outside the Coca-Cola Refreshment Corner:
Over to the right is the Cole of California shop, which closed the year this shot was taken.
This particular shot from 1957 was dated June 9, showing the Adventureland entrance gate:
This guy must have been a professional photographer; that’s some rig he’s got strapped around his neck.
Here’s the main drag of Adventureland, circa 1957:

These are wonderful! A little under a year ago my daughter took me back to Disneyland as a retirement trip (I literally hadn't been since1973, although we've gone to Walt Disney World many times). One thing that really struck me is that I was able to take a picture of the entrances to Adventureland and Frontierland in one frame. Disneyland is really compact- and wonderful!
