Pea Soup Andersen's

Pre-Memorial Day Survey Of Central California Windmill Attractions, Pt. 2: On Hwy. 99, in "Raisin Capital" Selma, CA, the blades on a newer windmill associated with a Holiday Inn turn proudly, as do the windmill blades at the Pea Soup Anderson's on I-5 at Santa Nella. Tours buses abound in the large Anderson's parking lot, kids line up with their folks for the classic "Hap-Pea and Pee-Wee" photo op, and the restaurant, bar and gift shop seem well peopled. But one sign the stock market collapse has hit here: "All Singing Fish 50% Off." (Note: The Korean War Memorial in Santa Nella, which has a number of highway signs pitching it, closes at 5PM.)
