The props used in the movie didn't have a plastic stem, and were fabrications made specifically for the film.

Not just of our family buying the fresh fruit, but working in the store, washing and packing fruit, folding 100's of fruit boxes and running the register. I didn't work in the fields, but I do remember the peach fuzz! The orchard was such a treat to be able to buy fresh fruit right there in the middle of Columbia. I worked there when Mike worked there.

My cousins who I grew up with lived in Waynesboro. Every year as soon as school was out my Mother and my Aunt and my Grandmother would schedule a Fantasy Land date. I remember being so excited to go and we had just the best time there. I have not thought about that place in many years. I wish something like that was still around. Awesome memories!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8589268.post-18096888679775166372018-06-30T09:53:10.161-04:002018-06-30T09:53:10.161-04:00I also remember this place from the early 80s!

Andy that's lost it's stick (but I keep it in a sheath for protection). Anybody familiar with the Whittier location know just where it was located at (the address)? All I remember was that it was, I think, in a long shopping area, maybe at the end of it. Whittier has a few shopping areas like that, which is why I'm curious to which one it was at. I'm also trying to start a project called "The Buried Past", which accounts places that used to exist, but were replaced (though the buildings stand) or locations that were demolished and once stood (in the past, hence those old locations are the "buried past"). Whittwood Mall (when it was an actual mall), is my first subject, which lead me to Captain Andy's River Towne.

It was at the Cinema I saw Star Wars for the third time ever, on its re-release just before the premiere of The Empire Strikes Back, which I also saw there. Shopped a lot at Erol's Video. Harundale and Glen Burnie Mall were quite familiar to me before I moved to Pasadena, MD, and I got to watch their decline when Marley Station Mall came into being.JCSBimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13491628344598831314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8589268.post-19961839631724138292017-11-07T11:50:13.441-05:002017-11-07T11:50:13.441-05:00It was a blast.

My family dubbed it Scooby Doo campground since upon entering the camp ground there was a scooby doo sign greeting you. I loved the flinstone maze/ wooden playground. I was deathly afraid of Yogi Bear cave and the Astro mascot. I also refused to swim in the Nick slime, and opted to filling up buckets of it with my mother who was also against it hahah.
