This was back when park maps were park maps: carefully crafted pen and ink 2'x3' drawings, not the hokey hide-the-empty-spots things we have today. "Edison Square" is clearly shown on this map, branching off from Main Street USA to the east. There was another area too, which I cannot remember right now, but something tells me it was patriotic-themed and eventually made an appearance as Liberty Square.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647587.post-68187394980119740612006-11-11T05:42:00.000-05:002006-11-11T05:42:00.000-05:00I stand corrected!

The idea evolved over time into Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
