I did say that and to me Knott's has lot that lovin' feeling. There are shreds of the old Knott's for sure, but Elvis has left the building. to me KBf was like your next door neighbor (think of who that is right now) turning their house into a theme park and having it be a success. It's this series of sincere and organic after thoughts coming from a good place. When I was a designer there I tried too make things Disneyesque and slick till another designer told me I lacked the "farm mentality" and didn't get it. She was right. I had to learn what was wonderful and unique about "the farm"and support that warmth. Nice piece. I did say that and to me Knott’s has lot that lovin’ feeling.

Some of the buildings are literally falling apart, but it's one of those things Jane and I enjoy anyway. It's like living history. This is the exact same reason I am fascinated by places such as Colonial Williamsburg and Fort Clatsop as well -- it's like touching the past.</p> I am quite fond of the Ghost Town in Knott’s.

Either that or someone should be paying you big bucks to promote Orange County tourism and history. I loved this piece because it reminded me of going to Knott's Berry Farm in 1966. I haven't been there since about 1978. Tons of changes, I know. But I want an old time adventure, nonetheless. We'll have to go together soon!</p> You need to start your own Orange County tour business. Either that or someone should be paying you big bucks to promote Orange County tourism and history.
