A Wizard on Main Street

One of the most interesting books in my collection is the Little-Known Facts about Well-Known Places: Disneyland by David Hoffman. And today I thought we would take a small trip to Disneyland to have a look at one of these facts.

When the park opened in 1955, one of the original stores in Main Street U.S.A was situated between the Silhouette Shop and the China Closet - both of which exist to this day. The shop was Hollywood Maxwell Corset Shop, who was also known as the Wizard of Bras! It was changed in 1956 and now stands as a Crystal Shop.

During the same time frame, the Penny Arcade on Main Street had a shooting gallery that consisted of real-life guns with ammunition!
