January 1963, and the USC band is playing in Town Square. Victorious from the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, it would appear that they were given the honor of a concert at the entrance to the Park, still decorated for the 1962 Christmas season.
Over near City Hall, the former Disney Police Department has been stripped of its name with a blank sign above the door.
The Tour Guides were not allowed to take over this building yet; instead, they had to make do with the little gingerbread booth on the right of the detailed image below. Note that the light posts in front have been painted all black. How gloomy!
That was the easiest way to cover up the original white lettering that alerted guests that “the fuzz” could be found inside:
At some point between January 1963 and April 1965 (the photo below), the Guided Tour letters finally gave a designation to this Town Square building.
See more Disneyland Town Square photos at my main website.
That's really need to see the comparison between the police sign and the guest tours sign.
ReplyDeleteThe black painted police bulbs I noticed right away. Great shots! Adam, from LA.
