*My routine visits here began in 2002, at age 10. So much has changed in that time. I've experienced a lot that exists no more, yet there's so much I never got to experience in the decades before. I grew up and lived in CA for so long, now I'm an AZ resident.
-Either way, I'm grateful, and love this awesome place no matter what. I loved watching movies & TV shows, but even more so, I love going behind the scenes!!
