And the Hotels and Motels on Harbor Boulevard as you approached Disneyland.

Yesterland: Food & Lodging

Driving up Harbor Blvd to Disneyland use to be almost as interesting as Disneyland itself with motels such as the Cosmic Age and it's space age design. But the same thing happened to the fun looking motels there that happened to the tiki bars and hotel/motels in other parts of the world.

Also, the City of Anaheim passed an ordinance requiring all signs to be uniform, and to be located much closer to the ground. So, the public entity encouraged the renovation of the older hotels with more character, which was their goal.
