Town Square Realty and Bank of America 1950s

One of the things that has changed is the Bank of America building as part of the Opera House. Instead of a real functioning bank where guests could cash checks, purchase money orders and employees could deposit their paychecks, now the location is used to process the hordes of people who have annual passports. Where tellers once stood, there are now cameras to take the image for the passport. Where Town Square Realty once set up shop promoting Apple Valley as the next big suburb and giving away Disneyland Maps, vinyl packages of Disneyland dirt and the deed to go along with that dirt, now it is the display area with the Disneyland 50th artifacts. I miss the old bank, just knowing that there was a bank on Main Street left a feeling of greater believability. And once that feeling of believability starts disappearing it is harder to escape the realty and fully enter the fantasy of Disneyland.
