[edit] Story

Below is the text from a plaque that used to sit outside Yesterears.[2]

YESTEREARS
Remains of Pleasure Island Ltd. Chandlery and Tool Crib
1924
One of the many support facilities for the cornerstone of Island founder Merriweather Pleasure's commercial empire, "Pleasure Canvas and Sailmakers, Ltd." A 1944 hurricane sheared off the front of the building, sending a million (more of less) bolts, screws, linchpins, lugnuts and spanner wrenches into the depths of Lake Buena Vista.
The silly saga of Pleasure Island is told in its imprecise entirety at each Island entrance.
