I found my love in Avalon
Beside the bay
I left my love in Avalon
And sail'd away
I dream of her and Avalon
From dusk 'til dawn
And so I think I'll travel on
To Avalon.
...song by Vincent Rose/Al Jolson 1920
Avalon Bay, Catalina Island
This was taken from just below the Wrigley Mansion, now known as Mount Ada, a private bed and breakfast. You can see many of the historic landmarks including the Catalina Casino in the background, Chimes Tower on the hill, the Tuna club, the Yacht Club, Green Pleasure Pier and Holly House in the foreground.
Catalina is rich in history and charm, where Hollywood's biggest stars in the 1920's would come to play and spend their free time. People like Marilyn Monroe and Ronald Reagan called Catalina Island home, where the Chicago Cubs used for their spring training for 30 years and where Winston Churchill caught a marlin.
