    If you've been to this bar or know J.C. (Gracie) Proctor. Send an email to deadbird4@yahoo.com I'd like to hear more stories about the place.

    Wow, talk about deja vu. This bar belonged to a childhood friend of my father. J.C. Proctor grew up in Southwest City, MO and was born in the early 1920's. Some time after WWII he moved to the Anaheim area and opened this bar. In the 1980's he would return to SWC for the annual Southwest City Invitational Golf Tournament that my Dad would sponsor. One year he brought a limousine that he used at the bar and gave the children at the tournament limousine rides. Another year he drove up in a DeLorean. Around home he was known as "Gracie". My kids remember him as the "limousine guy" but I remember him as a great storyteller. One of his stories was about his ex-wife. He said "after the divorce she told me 'J.C. there's just one thing about you that I hate-it's that you breathe'" I've lost touch of the Proctor family since the 80's but I'd love to hear from someone who knew "Gracie"

    I smoked a cigarette here in full view of impressionable children. Then I shoved some food in my face while having my hair touched by a slightly disturbing waitress. Overall, a thumbs-up experience!

    And now instead of a charming restaurant, we have a loading chute for cattle in its place. Ah, progress!

    2nd photo is interior, c.1980.
  • Wonderland Liquor, phiz wrote 16 years ago:
    The third picture is of the back wall of Wonderland Liquor. It was painted long before the motel property to the east was built which obstructs the view. As of 2006, the wall had not been painted over.
  • Best Western Plus Pavilions, phiz wrote 16 years ago:
    The 2nd picture is of the Stovall's Space Age Motel shuttle bus used in the 1960's & 70's. The shuttle was pimarily based at the Space Age but, made stops at all four of the Stovall properties as well as the Disneyland Hotel, enroute to Disneyland.
