It’s nothing compared to a hot day and the adjacent trash compactor that handles the baby care center.

I’ve seen it. I think it’s either on YouTube or on one of the D23 web pages. It was at one of the Destination D23 panels.
Yeah, why not? This spot is a twofer, turn around and you’d be looking at the back of Robert Dorris Boatbuilders, where the first Canal Boats were made and, later, the Motorboat Cruise vessels. The building in the background is still there.
And here is that same space today. I want to believe this only yucca plant on the entire street is in honor of MAMECO.
Yes, a lot of the original structural steel is still in the two “exhibition” buildings. More of it is covered over than removed.
Main Street is probably the least changed of any area in the park. There are still light fixtures inside from opening day.
I’m guessing you’ll find lots of interesting things when you scratch the surface of those buildings!
Autopia cars assembled here. (21 years earlier than this 1976 photo was taken).

Future research item!
Just make sure you don’t turn out ALL the lights!
My source is “The Pre-Opening Report from Disneyland” (1955) and it was an experiment to see how much AI could de-grain the original screencap before it looked fake. This was an example of “too far.” No actual film negatives were harmed in the making of this image.
But they never made a pin that included “Almost Butt-Naked Guy.”
House of Thirteen Gables.
There was one in Burbank, CA, too. But not for long.
No, different. The tree in the older shot is one of the two that are down on the ground surrounded by a seat wall, between the gate and the tunnels.
A ball pit dedicated to I.P. Freely.
Sorry, I had one unused coupon to apply that stupid joke with and I needed to get rid of it.

Willows are fast growing and invasive, their root systems will pop out the surrounding hardscape as they seek a direct source of water. 10 year swap-outs in this location wouldn’t be surprising.
In honor of Kaiser Aluminum.
Asphalt vs concrete.
Did someone say “Humdinger”?!
I worked with that guy’s brother.

I’m curious about that tree in the foreground, but also the one in the background that might be the corral tree relocated from Tahitian Terrace in ‘62.
Add to list…
It was an Evergreen Elm, as spec’d by Ruth Shellhorn.
One of my paranoias is that I’m going to go out with an ironic ending. And this would certainly be one scenario.
Yes, if it was an Evergreen Elm or a Cork Oak it was likely from day one.
Isn’t this from Orlando-Land Magazine? Maybe in their archives?
Did it whistle?

At the time it was the WED House, I’m sure photos are rare, but you can get a very good tour of it online, as it was 12 years ago when it went up for sale.
$25.30! Like at that point they can’t just round it to $25. They still need .30 more cents!
