This might be the my favorite "discovered" ad ever.

It's great.

Insired by the 30's and 40's America, Buena Vista Street in Disney California Adventure is just amazing! The details are perfect all the way down to the window displays. Even walking into Oswald's Gas there is a radio playing songs and radio shows from the era that they recreated.
