Remembering Mr. Tom

While many in the amusement industry may not have known, or even heard of Arlington’s longtime mayor, locals knew very well who this longtime titan of a politican was. He was Mr. , the 25-year-old (in 1951) newly nicknamed ‘boy mayor’ of Arlington, . Mr. Tom ran with the best, and demanded the best. While his accomplishments reached out in countless directions, let’s take a look at the amusement industry road. Having visited Disneyland in 1958, and liking what he saw, he made a point to visit with himself. He asked Disney to consider building a second Disneyland in Arlington, and even offered the land in Angus G. Wynne’s new Great Southwest Industrial District. While Walt was intrigued, he declined, “saying it was too soon to consider building another park.” Not to be declined, Mr. Tom turned to developer Wynne Andrew Mellor saying he needed to hop on a plane and go look at this new Brand Magic!
