My friend, smartly not on twitter, wrote this design piece on Nut Tree, a beloved amusement park/"mecca of playful modernism” in NorCal created by designers, artists, architects, and candymakers. It also just won her an SPJ award because it's THAT GOOD. https://t.co/0btsWft7oU

If you lived in Northern California between the '50s and the '90s, your memories likely contain Vacaville's Nut Tree. Now it's turning 100.
