HOBBY CITY - Forgotten Roadside Attraction

Описание: In 1955 in Anaheim California, acres of Farmland became a themed attraction that was filled with guests from miles around! But I'm not talking about Disneyland, or even Knott's Berry Farm. I'm talking about the nearly forgotten HOBBY CITY! Growing up in Orange County, this was key attraction for families to visit, and of course for any hobbyist! Begun in the fifties by Jay and Bea DeArmond, it later expanded into a family hobby wonderland, with dozens of shops catering to every kind of craft and hobby imaginable at that time. Dolls, Teddy Bears, Coins, Gems, Baseball Cards, Models, Miniature Trains, Cake Decorating, Cabbage Patch Kids, Native American Crafts, Western Reenacting, Bud Hurlbut Trains, HOBBY CITY had it all! Having just survived a near fatal development sale in the beginning of the century, Hobby City never quite recovered. When I mention it, many people seem to have forgotten it existed or assume that it was bulldozed long ago. Thankfully, not so! This is the story of an amazing family business that if resurrected, would be one of the most popular family destinations in Southern California!

Another Randomland Adventure!
