Treasures Lost and Found.

There seems to be no shortage of research materials on this park, including this little promotional reel we found in the basement of the archive, off in a corner among a few unmarked boxes and a couple of  rat traps...

And in one of those unmarked boxes was an original menu from the Grand Cocotier's ballroom restaurant, "Le Grand Aubergine."  What an amazing coincidence that in the 100+ years this park has been open, we keep finding stuff from the EXACT decade we are currently focused on!

And it turns out that our own Mabel Mabel has donated her own personal scrapbook where she has been compiling various clippings she has accumulated over the years, all of which is making me wonder if Miss Mabel has been telling us the truth about her age this entire time...

Much more to come I'm sure, as we continue our discoveries in the basement of the Historial Society.  (We have to do our research in small spurts, as the fumes down there have rendered a couple of us unconscious on more than one occasion.)
