Welcome to Crazytown

As you know, I have a soft spot for ephemera. I thrive on it. I collect it. Well, a few years ago I was fortunate enough to purchase an old scrapbook at a flea market for a STEAL. It was loaded with hundreds of vintage greeting cards, family photos, certificates of grade school completion, baptisms, etc. The cards were (I deduce) for the children of the family. From birth announcements/congratulation cards to birthdays to every conceivable holiday, there are literally decades of cards.

Well, recently I felt like sitting and just leafing through it and taking it all in, and stumbled across something I'd overlooked the first time. It's a 1958 brochure and ticket stubs to Disneyland! It's absolutely INSANE how much it cost to get in then compared to now. Then: Children: $3. Adults: $4. Almost 50 Years Later: Children: $49. Adults: $59.
