Sadly, another part of my childhood has gone away. Movieland Wax Museum closed it's doors last night forever. Sadly, most of the pieces will be auctioned off to who-knows-where. Some items will wind up at Fisherman's Wharf but I doubt it will include some of the detailed sets that go with the figures. I have fond memories of my visits there as a child, including my earliest memory around age 5 when I was terrified of everything but Superman, Fonzie and the Wizard of Oz scene. I have pictures of myself with my uncle in front of most of the those scenes and I attempted to replicate them with my daughter on our final visit October 28th.

It's sad but life goes on. I am sure the new entertainment complex will be cherished by children of all ages.
