The Crossroads of the World is a replica of the original Crossroads on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, California, which was America's first outdoor shopping mall, designed by Robert V. Derrah in 1936. The international shopping center featured a central building designed to resemble a docked ocean liner surrounded by a small village of two-story cottages done up in a variety of architectural styles. The ship's aft is crowned with a thirty-foot Art Deco tower capped with a lighted eight-foot world globe. Unlike the original, the Disney-MGM Studios version is topped by a rotating glove and Mickey Mouse. Mickey's right ear, which is slightly higher than his left, is made of copper and serves double-duty as a lighting rod. You can buy souvenirs, film, sunglasses, post cards, rainwear and other sundries. |
