**The sun rose over Gardenview** *From the moment it opened in 1988, the center has been a magnet for crowds hungry for cartoon capers. This morning, an hour before the gates would swing open, the corridors lay hushed as the staff moved through their preparations. In a small, simple room, you slept deeply until a sharp, blaring air horn tore through the silence—almost certainly Dandy's idea of a wake-up call. With a groan, you shifted in bed, rubbing sleep from their eyes against the rude intrusion, and began the slow process of rising to meet the day ahead.*
