Santa’s Village was more than just a quirky pit stop though; it was a part of the first franchised theme park in history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After World War II, when McDonald’s was just starting to open franchises and Disneyland captured the imaginations of children and investors, undeveloped property in the South Bay seemed perfect for theme park development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, investors would trade these unique parks for standardized suburban tract homes. One such development in San Jose bears the name of the park it replaced: Frontier Village.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just as that park was ready to expand into a new decade (the 1980s), its land was sold to property developers. After nearly 20 years of operation, employees and visitors were not ready to let go. Every year, Frontier Village enthusiasts meet for a picnic to remember the good ol’ days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11068655\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1100px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/FV-Hats.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11068655\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/FV-Hats.jpg\" alt=\"Cowboy hats hanging on low hooks for children to wear at NUMU's "It Takes a Village" exhibit.

NUMU’s History Curator, Amy Long, said, “I’ve been blown away by the response. It’s really become something that I couldn’t have predicted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Long knew she was on to something when she saw that the Facebook page for \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/frontiervillage/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Remembering Frontier Village\u003c/a> had over 12,000 fans. Through these online networks she was able to meet collectors and orchestrate the dynamic exhibition at NUMU, which features an antique auto from Frontier Village, the calendar clock from Santa’s Village and a large grizzly bear statue from Lost World, along with eclectic memorabilia and relevant historical documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11068657\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 480px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11068657\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/FV-Memory.jpg\" alt=\"A memory from Frontier Village in San Jose posted in the NUMU 'It Takes a Village' exhibit.\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/FV-Memory.jpg 640w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/FV-Memory-400x533.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/FV-Memory-450x600.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A memory from Frontier Village in San Jose posted in the NUMU ‘It Takes a Village’ exhibit. \u003ccite>(Photo: Adrienne Blaine)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The most impressive part of the exhibition, however, is the wall where visitors can share their memories of these parks. Some remember specific rides: “I could NEVER keep my eyes open when entering the Dutchman’s Mine!” Others focus on the connections made: “If I hadn’t gone to F.V. to interview for a job. I’d never have met my future husband or have the great pleasure of working at such a great place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baby Boomers at the opening expressed a desire to pass along these happy memories to their children and grandchildren. It makes one wonder what Generation X, Y and Z will preserve from their childhoods for future posterity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the defining landmarks of the area continue to disappear, what will we leave future generations? Engaging the community with memories of lost parks, NUMU makes us think about our own place in history — not with doom and gloom, but with a whimsical and wistful peek into a bygone era.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>It Takes a Village\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> is on view through April 3, 2016 at New Museum Los Gatos.

NUMU’s History Curator, Amy Long, said, “I’ve been blown away by the response. It’s really become something that I couldn’t have predicted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Long knew she was on to something when she saw that the Facebook page for \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/frontiervillage/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Remembering Frontier Village\u003c/a> had over 12,000 fans. Through these online networks she was able to meet collectors and orchestrate the dynamic exhibition at NUMU, which features an antique auto from Frontier Village, the calendar clock from Santa’s Village and a large grizzly bear statue from Lost World, along with eclectic memorabilia and relevant historical documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11068657\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 480px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11068657\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/FV-Memory.jpg\" alt=\"A memory from Frontier Village in San Jose posted in the NUMU 'It Takes a Village' exhibit.\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/FV-Memory.jpg 640w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/FV-Memory-400x533.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/FV-Memory-450x600.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A memory from Frontier Village in San Jose posted in the NUMU ‘It Takes a Village’ exhibit. \u003ccite>(Photo: Adrienne Blaine)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The most impressive part of the exhibition, however, is the wall where visitors can share their memories of these parks. Some remember specific rides: “I could NEVER keep my eyes open when entering the Dutchman’s Mine!” Others focus on the connections made: “If I hadn’t gone to F.V. to interview for a job. I’d never have met my future husband or have the great pleasure of working at such a great place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baby Boomers at the opening expressed a desire to pass along these happy memories to their children and grandchildren. It makes one wonder what Generation X, Y and Z will preserve from their childhoods for future posterity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the defining landmarks of the area continue to disappear, what will we leave future generations? Engaging the community with memories of lost parks, NUMU makes us think about our own place in history — not with doom and gloom, but with a whimsical and wistful peek into a bygone era.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>It Takes a Village\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> is on view through April 3, 2016 at New Museum Los Gatos.

But who could foresee that it would worm its way into unsuspecting brains, block all common sense and make people call up their exes! That's exactly what is happening, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.whatsyourprice.com/blog/hello-its-me/\" target=\"_blank\">a new study\u003c/a> conducted by WhatsYourPrice.com (a dating website that involves paying for dates or something creepy like that).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A total of 41k singles were asked about the side-effects of \"Hello.\" A whopping 64% of women said the song inspired them to hit up an ex and try to mend the relationship. (Girl, no.) Only 17% of dudes did the same.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To all the folks who are thinking of calling an ex 'cause Adele made you sad, consider these points:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A. You broke up for a reason. Chances are that reason still applies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>B. Get a flip phone.

Speaking of Gwen, my prescription to you is: pair every \"Hello\" listen with a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2015/10/17/gwen-stefani-mourns-gavin-with-new-breakup-single-used-to-love-you/\" target=\"_blank\">\"Used to Love You\"\u003c/a> listen. This will make you realize that, even though getting back with your ex sometimes seems like a rosy idea cause the holidays are approaching or your feet are cold at night or whatever, it will not end well! Gwen got back with Gavin in the early aughts, they had a bunch of blond children and then he cheated on her for THREE years with\u003ca href=\"http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3314447/Posing-Zuma-upswept-platinum-hair-wrapped-bandana-geeky-black-glasses-creepy-copycat-Facebook-pictures-posted-Gavin-Rossdale-Gwen-Stefani-s-ex-nanny-Mindy-Mann.html\" target=\"_blank\"> a doppelgänger nanny\u003c/a>!

Your ex will do wack sh*t like this too! Date someone new or just be single. Trust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>E.
