In this episode of the Where In The Park Podcast, we continue our Windows With A View series along Main Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland.

This section of the park tells a surprising mix of stories—spanning community, archives, medicine… and even a few unexpected mysteries.

We explore the legacy of Mary Anne Mang, the driving force behind the Disney VoluntEARS program, and Dave Smith, the founding archivist who preserved Disney history and connected with fans through his beloved “Ask Dave” column.

Then, we step into opening day history with the Upjohn Pharmacy, uncovering how this real-world company became part of Walt Disney’s vision for Main Street—and the stories behind the names in its window.

And finally… we take a closer look at the curious window of Christopher D. Miller, where the details raise more questions than answers—including one of the most unexpected window pairings on Main Street.
