Wow! I now wish I'd been to that Japanese Deer Park...I know roughly where that was, and from what I've heard, that Nabisco plant is no longer there, although the building remains.

Those pix of Jungle Island by Knotts was a total trip down memory lane...I hadn't seen any of that for years...thanks Tangaroa!

Does anyone remember the restaurant called The Farmhouse/The Buttery? (There's a pic of it in Charles Phoenix's book "Southern California in the 1950s, page 30 lower left). I always remember my parents taking me and my sister there...it was a cafeteria style place if I remember right. I think it was located just off the 5 freeway by Valley View, or thereabouts. When it closed, they were going to keep the windmill sign as a historical item, but it's since disappeared.
