| Origins: |
Main Street was inspired
by Walt Disney's childhood home in Marceline, Missouri,
and is an idealized representation of the nostalgic
charm of yesteryear. The era is the dawn of the Industrial
Revolution, when the promise of new technology brought
a new vitality to the quaint familiarity of the small
town.
Main Street's official description sums it up best:
Main Street is "the crossroads of an era; the gas
lamp giving way to the electric light, the sputtering
'horseless carriage' challenging Old Dobbin for the
streetcar right-of-way".
A well known feature of Main Street is the presence
of "office" names displayed on the windows of most
of the shops. The names are in fact tributes to the
people who helped create the Disney empire, everyone
from executives and Imagineers to Walt Disney himself! |
