My friend Dan pointed out that I work at real-life Animal Crossing, and he's right! It's got quirky architecture, animal villagers, flower gardens, and more — just like an ACNH island! 

What is this place?
It's a 70-year-old storybook theme park in Oakland, California called Children's Fairyland (fairyland.org). As the story goes, Walt Disney visited the park soon after it opened in 1950 and was partially inspired to create Disneyland a few years later. I've been working as their marketing and communications manager since April 2019.
