The only other memory is walking down a dark hallway to the restroom -- was the lounge down there, too? I remember the end of that hall as a very dark, forboding "adult" place LOL.<br /><br />So-ooo sad to see it now. I haven't read all the posts but why don't they just put it out of its misery already? Is it a cultural landmark? It is to me, I mean, but...poor thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439590856963938296.post-32795997285994766772013-09-13T17:12:09.509-07:002013-09-13T17:12:09.509-07:00Hi I remember staying at the hotel there when I wa...Hi I remember staying at the hotel there when I was like 8 or 9 with my family.

I grew up in La Mirada - where the 1950's and 60's building are slowly being torn down and replaced. I haven't lived there for ages (I'm in Indiana now) but I still feel the bittersweetness. <br />I know we have to move on - so it's nice to see these while they last. <br />They remind me of the beauty of winter trees - which I have just come to appreciate here in IN where these are everywhere. The bare trees say to me - here's the essence of who we are - our true shape under all those beautiful green leaves.<br />Okay- I'm wandering. <br />(Hey Heidi Ann - fancy running into you here :)Debbie V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04318603077035734786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439590856963938296.post-51335549092353836152011-12-20T03:34:37.978-08:002011-12-20T03:34:37.978-08:00Hello Walter

Always familiar places.<br /><br />Thank you for the pictures. <br /><br />I remember eating at both restaurants often. My Dad would drive us over after church for lunch. Perry's was a favorite. Tagus was more of a special occasion.<br /><br />Sad to see these places, so alive in my memories, now run-down, haunted and abandoned.<br /><br />My recent run through the valley last month showed up a lot of places like this. I remember them bright and new, now they are shabby and vacant.<br /><br />Seems like the rest of the state moved on, while they threw the valley away.<br /><br />JGJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456196709930408585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439590856963938296.post-28557644402597037362011-03-27T22:09:26.352-07:002011-03-27T22:09:26.352-07:00Thanks Jeffrey!

It's hard to explain to someone just what makes it interesting though.. Seems like you either get it or don't.<br /><br />I will try to post again before Christmas :D<br /><br />Take care!!walterworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18319070921534941313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439590856963938296.post-25607822082097809042011-03-27T11:08:43.906-07:002011-03-27T11:08:43.906-07:00You are still bookmarked on my computer and it'...You are still bookmarked on my computer and it's always a great day to find a new post from you.

Used to be a regular stop on our annual trips to Disneyland.<br /><br />I sure wish someone could arrange a peek inside Tagus Ranch for me; I'm dying to see what's still left from the old days!<br /><br />Thanks again for stopping by; I shall endeavor to post more often going forward (but then again I always say that!)walterworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18319070921534941313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439590856963938296.post-82092416182352798122011-03-05T05:19:28.249-08:002011-03-05T05:19:28.249-08:00So happy to see a new post from you!

I really enjoy your posts - I love the old postcards, and of course it's such an happier story when the old places are still standing and operating - but I find it very interesting to see them as they are now, nevertheless.
