And here we have a photo taken while driving through Anaheim to Disneyland. The billboard alerts people to take Harbor Blvd to get to Walt Disney’s Magic Kingdom. The car parked on the roadside is a Chrysler Town and Country convertible, circa late 1940s. Disneyland opened in 1955 so maybe the Chrysler was abandoned! These days, Angelenos take the Santa Ana Freeway, which if 5 or 6 lanes in each direction so it’s odd to see that back then the road didn’t even have a curb or a sealed shoulder! As I write this, Disneyland is closing down because of the coronavirus pandemic. It’s only the third time it’s happened in the 65 years that Disneyland has been closed. (The other times were the day of President Kennedy’s assassination, the Northridge earthquake of 1994, and after the 9/11 attacks in 2001.)

What the off-ramp road to Disney (appropriately called Disneyland Drive) looks like in 2020
