A delightful piece of 1953 dropped into 2014 Ventura County.

That's Santa Paula, CA.  It could easily be used by as the backdrop for an Andy Griffith remake (well, but for the 30% Spanish language signs filling downtown).  There's even a department store the size of an urban McDonald's with a telescope in its front display.  

I've always wanted to try out the Chili Hut, but we take Bo and the Hut has no outdoor seating, so we end up at the utterly out of place but wonderful cajun bistro that's up the street.
