Back east there are a number of working communities that incorporate a theme of some sort into the community... some are continental, others like the Amish communities really live the way they appear. In California I have only run across one such place ... Solvang which incorporates a Dutch theme. The town is sort of a tourist trap, incorporating lots of little shops, and a number of restaurants and wonderful bakeries. The town is modeled after the Dutch Hans CHristain Anderson theme with windmills and appropriate structures and architecture. Is anyone else out there aware of similar places here in California? I am aware of the Rennisance Faire, but that is of course not a year round thing. Thanks!
