welcome everyone out of the woo here as
0:02
a recording of this tuesday august 30th
0:05
2022 at that hour
0:07
when one could wear their sunglasses or
0:10
not
0:11
wear sunglasses i've kind of chosen
0:14
not to wear them because the sun is not
0:16
really permeating down at this hour it
0:19
is approaching
0:20
the time of that somewhat referred to as
0:22
dusk look at that cloud formation over
0:24
there
0:25
not sure why i was focusing on that
0:27
because i wanted to focus on this the
0:30
celebration florida water tower which i
0:32
am convinced does not have any water in
0:33
it i think it is just a prop
0:36
because about a year ago when i drove by
0:38
here they were doing some maintenance on
0:39
it and they had that top portion up
0:41
there on the
0:42
ground you decide
0:45
i have made my decision i'm going to put
0:47
these back on
0:49
i found some stuff at the library
0:50
yesterday i went and returned a book on
0:52
michael eisner but called the prince of
0:54
magicking read it from cover to cover
0:56
really good i love disney history i love
0:57
roadside attraction history i love
0:59
history of places that i live or have
1:02
lived
1:03
and this place is no exception
1:05
celebration florida was built starting
1:06
in the early 90s by the disney
1:08
corporation michael eisner at the
1:10
forefront of that
1:12
around 1996 it opened its doors and its
1:16
homes by a lottery system paid a
1:18
thousand dollars you got into a lottery
1:20
system you could be one of the first
1:21
residents to live right off of highway
1:23
192 in an area
1:26
some referred to as the bubble
1:29
you know epcot walt's original dream of
1:31
epcot was going to be in a dome
1:34
this is not in a dome and it is kind of
1:36
a makeshift version of walt's vision but
1:39
not really his dream in a little bit it
1:41
kind of sorta
1:42
would have been like this
1:44
but not really but it's the closest
1:46
thing
1:47
one could say would be close to epcot an
1:50
epcot version of what walt's version of
1:52
epcot was now a theme park
1:54
which also was part of walt's idea
1:56
that's a whole other subject matter i
1:58
found some things at the library
2:00
yesterday by rooting around
2:02
in their archives that they have there
2:06
incredible amount of items that most
2:09
people either don't care about or do not
2:11
realize is there that person
2:13
spinning out going that way i'm gonna
2:15
head in show some things that i found
2:18
off of my phone and also show where they
2:20
were and maybe some of this
2:22
might be
2:24
never been presented in video before so
2:25
i'm gonna try i'm gonna do that inviting
2:27
you to join me a very long intro shall
2:30
you
2:32
the dog just barked at me oh that's a
2:33
horn these are the cross streets one of
2:36
the cross streets leading in the main
2:37
entrance end of town and disney
2:40
relinquished control of the town
2:43
back in the 2000s
2:46
but take a look at this right here on
2:47
this corner well i'm assuming was on
2:49
this corner
2:51
disney's
2:52
town of celebration the amc theater was
2:54
still open there was no starbucks yet it
2:56
was a barney's coffee and tea
2:59
and there was a couple other items
3:01
as well in there but look it's still
3:03
like still had disney's name on it and
3:05
there's still some stuff in there
3:07
that still bear the name ended up
3:09
digging this up pretty interesting that
3:11
it states here on april 29th of that
3:13
year probably 1990
3:16
around there that's when they first came
3:17
up with the name and unveiled it quote
3:20
celebration
3:25
and if you scroll past
3:25
down in here it says that dick nunes
3:27
who's the president of walt disney world
3:28
reaffirmed the company's promise to
3:31
preserve 7 500 acres of wilderness area
3:35
there's a lot of wilderness around town
3:37
there is and some of the things that
3:38
were part of the current plan
3:40
celebration center which i believe is
3:41
where this publix i'm standing at is
3:43
enterprise park residential community
3:46
the disney institute which i do not
3:48
believe exists anymore i don't even know
3:49
if there is a disney institute in town
3:51
anymore medical health center that's
3:53
advent health now it's called
3:54
celebration health at one time
3:57
championship golf courses there's at
3:58
least two i'm not sure if there's three
4:01
but there are a few in town and of
4:03
course these schools work places what
4:05
really fascinates me is down here
4:06
something called the multi-model station
4:09
a transportation facility respond to the
4:12
needs of the region and able to
4:14
accommodate all forms of rail
4:17
and other ground transit there is no
4:19
train running through town was that
4:21
planned and here's another article not
4:23
even referred to by the town's name but
4:25
just simply
4:26
disney's osceola project this is
4:29
probably put out before they came out
4:30
and released the name which is
4:32
interesting because the florida project
4:34
was the name they had before walt disney
4:36
world came to fruition so i guess
4:38
project is kind of thrown around with a
4:40
lot of
4:41
a lot of the disney stuff before they
4:42
have a real name announced to the media
4:44
now i just mentioned how i had assumed
4:46
celebration center was where this publix
4:49
and plaza is and if this is celebration
4:52
center it is not what the concept art
4:55
shows
4:56
or at least
4:57
what the creator had in mind
5:00
for the concept art because pay
5:02
attention here this thing was massive
5:05
and had a ferris wheel
5:07
on top now this over here which i'm
5:10
going to drive over to momentarily looks
5:12
identical to the artistic rendering
5:15
but this
5:16
does not and it states below that that
5:19
is what it was going to look like an
5:20
artistic you know thought process of
5:22
what might be
5:24
over in this section if this is where it
5:26
was going to be
5:27
look at this relic usa today back from
5:30
october of 1985
5:32
mickey
5:33
builds a town a couple different
5:35
articles in there as well and then
5:37
here's a little closer view there mickey
5:39
giving it a big thumbs up with oh no
5:42
he's got the paintbrush okay thumbs up
5:44
and
5:45
a paintbrush
5:46
so this was released not just you know
5:49
not just locally but nationally in usa
5:51
today just a few blocks from where i was
5:53
standing right here
5:55
in this empty field with a new hotel
5:57
over in the distance
5:59
some
6:01
disney offices still reside over here
6:03
more on that in a minute
6:05
now walt disney world had a preview
6:07
center over on hotel drive very close to
6:09
disney springs
6:10
there's a gnat right there but there was
6:12
also a preview center in fact there were
6:14
two of them
6:16
i just realized that one of them
6:21
before the town was built sat
6:24
right here
6:26
exactly in this very spot
6:29
doing a little research
6:31
figured out that there were
6:33
three to four trailers
6:35
stacked right here and to disguise those
6:37
trailers they built three facades now
6:41
this is before anyone could buy a home
6:44
down in celebration
6:46
so you had to go in and preview there
6:47
was a model in here as well as a facade
6:50
on this side
6:51
a fake facade on this side and one
6:55
facing this road it was very weird and
6:58
very strange and a very peculiar way to
7:01
promote
7:02
the community in my opinion very bizarre
7:04
i'm going to show a photo of it it's sat
7:06
right here i'll tell you how i figured
7:07
that out here are those trailers i was
7:09
referring to now if they're not trailers
7:11
they are something that is very similar
7:14
to a trailer-like substance
7:16
that has the facades built around it you
7:18
can see the back side of that facade
7:20
there and the two other facades now that
7:23
little island in the in the areas there
7:25
in that retention pond is still over
7:26
there all these years later here's a
7:29
close-up of one of the the facades the
7:31
one plate
7:32
facing closest
7:34
to the road now this right over here i
7:36
will walk over and show what it looks
7:38
like now
7:39
versus then and this might be the same
7:42
road
7:43
up here but i'm not sure but i will show
7:45
the same angle now this photo was taken
7:47
out in the road i'm not going to stand
7:49
directly in the
7:50
middle of the road but i'll kind of get
7:52
a close walk over across the crosswalk
7:55
but it was more or less like this
8:03
obviously this is just a guesstimate
8:03
of how it was and there was a
8:04
celebration preview center sign
8:07
right on this very corner in fact some
8:09
of that sidewalk might be remnants of
8:11
the old sidewalk and this road could be
8:13
the original road but if you look at the
8:15
original photo there is a little bit of
8:17
an incline going up off of the main road
8:20
and then it kind of ascends up so
8:22
there's a little bit of an incline there
8:24
not much of one but there is one and
8:26
then there's that media and there was a
8:28
lot of trees there's still a few trees
8:29
over there and then obviously
8:32
this right here
8:34
this crossing path
8:35
was there then too with the crossing
8:38
path that i'm standing on right there
8:41
and retention pond over there a little
8:43
median
8:44
and looks like there's a turn lane over
8:46
there i'll walk over there and see
8:48
turn lane still there
9:06
there's the turn era
9:06
and there it is preview center on that
9:09
very corner
9:11
now in orlando resort it's like a hotel
9:13
over there now called
9:15
malia or malaya
9:17
take a look at these sandhill cranes
9:18
crossing the road
9:19
they have the right-of-way
9:33
and what was inside that previous center
9:33
this model
9:35
now there is on the map downtown there's
9:37
another preview center i'll show where
9:38
that was maybe that got scrapped but see
9:41
the top portion of this photo that was
9:42
part of that fake facade
9:44
which means that this model sat over in
9:47
that preview center
9:48
which looks to be like market street the
9:50
town square where the post office is
9:52
yeah
9:53
there it is right there they had a model
9:55
in there whatever happened to that model
9:57
i want to know the address was 2001
9:59
celebration place there is no such
10:02
address at the moment i'm standing at
10:04
200
10:05
celebration place has the features of
10:07
what any guests could see there's open
10:08
from 10 to seven
10:10
and that is what it looked like there
10:12
now i am over here
10:14
across the road on the 200 block
10:22
so the 200 block
10:22
which still to this day houses the
10:24
disney cruise line disney parks
10:26
experience and products and disney world
10:28
resort park sales
10:30
and services so there still is
10:33
disney in town
10:43
magnificent buildings the architecture
10:43
all through this area pretty incredible
10:45
they hired a
10:47
vast amount of architects four or five
10:49
very famous architects
10:52
to build all these buildings and this is
10:54
just one of them this area built by aldo
10:56
rosie and the inspiration was the main
10:59
piazza of
11:00
pisa italy
11:03
that's where they got their inspiration
11:04
for this little courtyard this thing
11:06
always kind of
11:07
blows my mind a little bit this
11:10
pyramid right here in the middle of the
11:12
circle
11:14
this whole area is on the concept art as
11:16
well even though it did not open
11:17
originally when
11:18
you know the downtown open opened a
11:20
couple years later
11:22
this is on the concept art but even
11:24
though it does look very similar with
11:25
the same type of courtyard there is a
11:27
little differences there's no pyramid
11:28
there in the middle
11:30
no jagged pyramid tall pyramid it's more
11:32
of a rocket looking thing and the
11:34
buildings
11:35
themselves are just a little bit
11:37
different
11:38
as well in comparison
11:40
pretty close but a little bit different
11:49
very well manicured and kept up
11:49
i'm gonna head that way and head over
11:52
towards the downtown but before heading
11:53
down there real quick like gonna go back
11:55
over to one more spot from the preview
11:57
center reading this article
11:59
it said that there was a lot of interest
12:01
in it so the preview center which i'm
12:03
going to match up that spot there and
12:05
this is what the inside the preview
12:06
center this article says that on a
12:09
sunday on a weekend they would get a
12:10
thousand people in the preview center
12:13
a thousand people
12:19
every sunday
12:19
and when they had the grand opening of
12:21
the preview center they had a little
12:22
ceremony over there in front of it
12:24
article goes on to say it was up there
12:26
goes the
12:27
sandhills going by it was over 4 000
12:30
square foot building
12:33
and over 500 people showed up to the
12:35
opening of the presentations which just
12:37
so happened to be on my birthday august
12:39
10th
12:40
is when the preview center opened
12:44
and there was a brass band that played
12:46
be our guest from beauty and the beast
12:49
kind of appropriate
12:51
and that photo in the newspaper article
12:53
was taken
12:55
right at this very angle so just imagine
12:57
500 people
12:58
over here in this now lot
13:01
looking at the
13:03
opening of the preview center for
13:04
disney's town a town that disney built
13:08
a lot of excitement in the air and
13:10
that's the angle there where i'm
13:11
standing
13:13
so where i got my feet planted here
13:16
it's pretty much where everyone else
13:17
would have been watching the ribbon
13:19
cutting also i got some new shoes on you
13:22
new pair of shoes i've got a bunch of
13:24
these pairs of shoes but i finally took
13:25
these ones out of the box
13:27
but i'm standing in the same spot you
13:28
know all the time i've lived here i've
13:29
never walked over to this section at the
13:32
picnic tables over here got another
13:34
jagged pyramid small jack well not
13:37
jagged but
13:38
i guess the word would be skinny pyramid
13:40
here and then the bigger one over there
13:43
in the distance
13:45
and you got the airplane going by there
13:52
i think there's a not a lot of
13:52
non-disney offices in here now too so
13:54
you got a lot of the disney offices over
13:56
there but this one i think at one point
13:58
had a lot of disney offices in it and
14:00
now it's used for something else i drove
14:02
over towards island village which is a
14:04
kind of subdivision or a
14:06
expansion onto celebration
14:09
it's down that way but there's a bridge
14:11
kind of an old-timey bridge that's 16
14:13
feet but look at this place called
14:14
future way
14:16
is this the mystery mobile going by
14:31
made it downtown now starting to get a
14:31
little dark
14:33
there's plenty of lights though to
14:35
kind of show what i need to show
14:37
not a lot of photos of eisner here when
14:40
he did the grand opening
14:42
of celebration itself
14:45
but there is one it's the only one i've
14:47
ever found
14:48
i'm sure there's others out there but
14:55
what i'm referring to happens right here
14:55
on this corner where he was standing
14:57
right about there as much people over on
14:58
that corner wearing mickey shirts
15:01
that photo can be seen
15:09
you see the clock
15:09
and now it is a bank of america but then
15:11
it was also a preview center the second
15:14
preview center and the reason i know
15:16
that is because it's listed here as
15:18
number 10.
15:19
preview center
15:20
there also used to be a grocery store
15:22
down here there is no grocery store
15:24
anymore there used to be a goodings
15:26
i kind of wish there still was some sort
15:28
of grocery store
15:30
now there is like a
15:32
there's the cornerstone which has you
15:34
know they have a few different groceries
15:35
and things like that
15:36
but there really is the closest one
15:38
would be publix on the outside of town
15:39
but there used to be a goodings
15:42
that's very interesting
15:44
and zerba's antiques is where the
15:46
cornerstone is now it was an antique
15:48
store also quite a few other little
15:50
things here too
15:55
a sweet shop the amc theaters listed
15:56
suntrust bank which is on the other
15:59
corner and a village mercantile
16:02
these were all and obviously the
16:04
downtown is legendary because so
16:05
downtown
16:06
but looking at number 10
16:08
which states it is the preview center is
16:11
now
16:12
the bank of america so this probably
16:14
would have been the previous center that
16:15
opened after the other one closing the
16:17
town opened which sits at the base of
16:19
this very unique structure here
16:21
and the goodings grocery store
16:24
was now where the thai plate thai
16:27
restaurant is now
16:29
so wouldn't have been a thai place would
16:31
have been a grocery store and the
16:33
antique store
16:35
would have been right over here where
16:36
cornerstone market is which is kind of
16:38
the closest thing to a grocery store
16:40
that's down here more or less it's just
16:43
a little convenience store they serve
16:45
food deli food and stuff like that next
16:48
to the post office created the post
16:49
office created by michael graves
16:51
architect who did swan and dolphin and
16:53
also did
16:55
the at the disney studios in burbank he
16:58
did the the building with the dwarves
17:00
holding up the roof michael graves not
17:03
the singer from the misfits and here's
17:04
some concept art here i found
17:07
right next to another building by a
17:09
different architect world-renowned
17:11
architect this building
17:13
by philip johnson
17:20
the entire idea not only with the homes
17:20
that were built here was they have a lot
17:21
of different styles and a lot of
17:23
different architects build it so kind of
17:25
a mishmash
17:26
of a lot of different different styles
17:28
and i think it worked out the way they
17:29
planned and this is listed as the town
17:32
hall
17:33
rarely do i ever see anything really
17:35
happening over here and during christmas
17:36
sometimes
17:38
they'll have this door open and santa
17:40
will be in there
17:41
so i've seen it open for different
17:43
events
17:44
but it's pretty rare also celebration
17:46
has a little news gazette
17:48
that comes out every month
17:56
i'm going to walk over here and show the
17:56
bank which is also in one of the opening
17:59
day newspaper articles
18:00
oh yeah this is the the town hall not a
18:03
city hall
18:04
the town hall
18:06
and across from where i'm standing
18:08
was the sun trust bank now it's called
18:10
the truest branch
18:12
and just says the bank of celebration
18:15
3 200 square foot building so this was
18:18
here opening day also and i would just
18:20
guess that this was the only bank in
18:21
towns before bank of america
18:24
popped up over on market street
18:26
still here this church over here is
18:28
great i really like it during the
18:29
holidays it's all lit up with lights
18:33
very beautiful right now there's no
18:34
lights on it other than the ones under
18:35
the awnings here
18:38
but i do want to show here this has a
18:39
little
18:40
walton roy history
18:42
as well
18:44
here on the side
18:50
community presbyterian chapel dedicated
18:50
to the glory of god and loving memory of
18:52
dear uncles walt and roy disney given by
18:56
dorothy disney pewter
18:59
and it has a quote here from psalms 23
19:01
verses 1 and 2.
19:06
and here's a couple other original
19:06
newspaper artists i found when i was at
19:08
the library
19:09
planners want disney celebration to
19:11
begin
19:12
got some of the details there
19:14
it's like a two-part article
19:16
and then
19:17
going to here
19:22
disney makes town preview
19:22
a celebration
19:24
talking about dick nunes
19:26
giving a presentation
19:28
in front of a four or five hundred
19:30
different people
19:31
you know just showing what celebration
19:33
was going to be about this was not the
19:34
same 400 people that watched the preview
19:36
center open but
19:37
different people and a promotional video
19:39
was shown and to quote the promotional
19:41
video
19:42
it'll look like your hometown which
19:44
reminds me a lot
19:45
yeah it's got a little bit of different
19:47
elements i think of everyone's hometown
19:54
and when it first opened
19:54
it was pretty much
19:56
the neighboring areas right around this
19:57
section
19:58
so water street which is here market
20:00
street
20:02
all this was the first phase
20:05
you got the canals here
20:11
kind of tough to see it because this at
20:11
night
20:17
i was looking at some satellite images
20:17
pre 1994
20:20
oh look at the lightning over there wow
20:23
and the waterway the canals were not
20:26
there nor
20:28
was lake reinhardt which i walk up there
20:31
and if you look at it before they built
20:33
market street so when they first
20:35
man-made the canals and man-made lake
20:38
ryan hard
20:40
there was just
20:41
a row of water going this way
20:44
now it did go to about here
20:46
and then it kind of went diagonal so it
20:48
went from here
20:50
and then it more or less went that way
20:53
to connect with like reinhard
20:55
so i'm curious does this flow
20:59
underneath this bridge and dump into
21:02
lake reinhardt
21:08
underneath all of market street is that
21:08
possible
21:09
i think it has to be
21:14
i don't see how they could just stop the
21:14
water flow okay i'm listening and it
21:17
appears as if there's a waterfall i
21:18
gotta watch my step here
21:20
but it appears as if it sounds like the
21:23
water
21:24
goes under that bridge and then maybe
21:26
into some sort of a tunnel or a sewage
21:30
bracket
21:31
that goes completely
21:33
under the downtown
21:36
who knew
21:38
because that has to run off somewhere
21:41
and i hear roaring water down there
21:43
could also be where pennywise lives
21:45
because i'll probably just go ahead and
21:46
just step away pretty dang fascinating
21:48
my shoes are wet now so i'm gonna make a
21:49
little squeaking sound
21:51
but pretty fascinating to think
21:53
that there is water maybe running either
21:55
running under here or maybe going
21:57
underneath the town hall post office in
21:59
diagonal and connecting with lake
22:01
reinhardt over there when i get over to
22:03
the lake i'm going to see
22:05
if i can find some sort of outlet where
22:07
the water might dump into there possibly
22:10
now it does not say goodings but it does
22:12
say orlando's hometown grocer 1907 which
22:14
could possibly be
22:16
the goodings but notice them sitting in
22:18
front of this park bench and because
22:20
this is where the goodings would have
22:21
been i think that would have been right
22:23
here this window looks pretty similar to
22:25
where that park bench i don't think it
22:26
was that park bench that's a newer park
22:28
bench but there was one right in the
22:29
middle of this window where that photo
22:30
was taken and here's some more concept
22:32
art of the town square over there where
22:34
the fountain is less foliage than there
22:36
is now town hall the post office what
22:39
was the antique store now is the
22:41
cornerstone market over here the grocery
22:43
store and then heading down market
22:45
street in fact this angle looks directly
22:46
down marcus street where this guy
22:48
standing here
22:49
is where i'm standing at this very
22:50
moment well pretty close with him
22:53
within a few feet ah here's another
22:54
confirmation that that very unique
22:56
structure that looks like something out
22:57
of blade runner 12 200 foot square foot
23:01
sales office was known as the preview
23:03
center
23:04
was designed by architect arthur
23:06
anderson and there's a little quote
23:09
from him right there on why he chose
23:12
that artistic design another article
23:14
talking about like the traditional
23:16
village a new kind provides a variety of
23:18
housing type detached townhouses granny
23:20
flats of garages shopkeeper apartments
23:22
above the stores yeah that pretty much
23:25
in a nutshell is this area
23:29
if americans are flexible enough to
23:31
consider returning to a way of life that
23:32
satisfied most of humanity for the last
23:34
6 000 years then the idea may shape the
23:37
next century and this is interesting i
23:39
never realized this but the senate was
23:40
created by two people caesar pulley and
23:43
raphael
23:44
pulley
23:45
separated by 29 years and possibly
23:47
father and son
23:49
and they wanted you know the theater to
23:51
have tall sign towers marquise ticket
23:54
booths and sidewalk designs
23:56
wonder if the architect have any had any
23:58
idea that 2022
24:01
his creation would be sitting empty for
24:03
over a decade and there's a lot of
24:05
documentation that originally there were
24:07
boats on the lake
24:09
i haven't seen
24:10
a boat on the lake since i've lived here
24:12
or visited here even before i moved here
24:14
but look what's new right now 2022 the
24:18
boats
24:19
are not new
24:20
this is like the cover of a pamphlet
24:23
i really want to see sailboats in there
24:25
maybe like some swan boats
24:28
just right over there
24:30
that's where that artistic rendering was
24:33
take a look at this
24:39
homeowners are excited to join disney's
24:39
community
24:41
this is in the same spot i'm standing
24:42
here
24:43
see the balloons up there i never see
24:45
anybody walking around here with
24:46
balloons but yep this is definitely
24:48
modeled after like a main street usa
24:51
look there's actually like are those
24:53
swan boats in there
24:54
they are
24:56
there are swan boats
24:58
on the water
25:00
it needs to happen
25:02
bring them back and there's a little
25:03
memento over here on the side of almost
25:06
every power pole throughout the
25:08
community itself even though disney kind
25:10
of uprooted from
25:13
you know from the area in the early
25:14
2000s or mid you know 2006 2007 i
25:18
believe it was don't quote me on that
25:19
but look at this
25:20
there is still
25:22
the disney
25:23
logo
25:24
right there so celebration established
25:27
in 94. i don't think anybody moved in
25:29
until like a couple years later
25:32
again not 100 sure on that one but look
25:35
at this
25:36
look at this this is on almost all the
25:38
light poles
25:40
through town that fascinating
25:43
i just love finding stuff like that
25:45
with the frogs making quite a racket
25:49
right over here in this lot where they
25:51
still do a lot of events
25:53
next to a pool
25:55
a little area it's a grassy section
25:58
where they have the founders day
26:01
and there's a photo from 1997 of a bunch
26:03
of people in that
26:06
little lawn area there with the backdrop
26:08
over here and it was a founder's day
26:11
event
26:17
how beautiful the theater is over there
26:17
kind of see it through the foliage but
26:18
there's the founder's day photo from 97
26:22
right there founders day weekend
26:24
november 14th through 16th
26:26
1997 and there's the
26:29
spires of the theater and downtown
26:30
market street in the background and
26:32
that's going to do it for today
26:34
the only thing i can think of where the
26:36
water might come out from
26:38
if you go past the theater
26:41
there is
26:42
another bridge
26:44
over there that i walked across kind of
26:46
hard to see because it's in the dark
26:48
but there's like a waterway over there
26:50
so it could possibly be a runoff
26:53
from the canal in that area
26:57
that's just just my thoughts anyway
27:00
well that's gonna do it for today
27:05
i've said so much yet i've said so
27:06
and i'll cover more stuff as time goes
27:07
on as i discover more stuff but i find
27:09
this stuff fascinating and i hope you
27:10
did too i appreciate you watching
27:13
i'll see you in the next video the vlog
27:16
there's a crescent moon up there but my
27:18
camera doesn't really pick it up the
27:19
vlog
27:20
is over
27:22
bonus footage
27:23
here's a photo
27:25
of the cornerstone deli cafe
27:28
when it was the antique store
27:31
deserves
27:33
and here's another article that is kind
27:35
of interesting mostly because of the
27:36
artwork
27:37
look at this
27:39
mickey with a house for a head
28:50
all right one last photo here's one of
28:50
the architects walking along looking at
28:52
his handiwork right when everything was
28:54
completed just soaking it all in saying
28:56
i had it did a job well done right along
28:59
this very railing along the lakefront
29:02
with market street in the background
29:04
kind of a neat little it's like one of
29:06
the really only photos i saw one of the
29:07
architects here on site that i found i'm
29:09
sure there's others but that's the one i
29:11
found
