MOVIELAND WAX MUSEUM CLOSING!
Pale wax movie stars embrace at MOVIELAND WAX MUSEUM, BUENA PARK, 1965. If they had a wick you could burn them. They are practically candles.
I’ll never forget the day in third grade when my friend Kevin Moore turned to me and said “I have so much wax in my ear I […]

And in the last few years has become the address to the city’s smartest new shops, galleries […]
Going through other people old slides is a quite a treasure hunt. After a dozen years of collecting and looking through zillions I’ve been fortunate to find hundreds and hundreds of amazing images.
