All that remains today is Dan the Miner, a bronze statue which stood across the way from the theatre since shortly before it first opened. Tune into the next post to learn about the Adventures of Dan the Miner in recent history.
I remember my mom looking at my old LA postcards, and when she saw one that looks very much like either photo #1 or #3, she pointed to a window in one of the nearby buildings and said, "That's where I took dance lessons when I was a little girl". I think it might be a window on the right side of the photo.
ReplyDeleteWow! Major that's really cool that you actually have a personal connection (via your mother) to one of the buildings in the Carthay postcards. Little anecdotes like that help keep the history of these historic places alive. Thanks for sharing.
DeleteThere's so much excitement about the Carthay Circle Theatre building at Disney California Adventure, it's nice to see the history you have shared here. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to make it back to DCA to see the CC Restaurant and all the great new things. The Disney Parks in their own way help preserve the memory of this kind of history.
