Gee, I don't find this one boring. It's a study in pre-photoshop photoshop. Or is it a painting? A backdrop on fake grass? Well, consternation! OK, maybe annoying, but not boring!
ReplyDeleteOh yes! Thank you from a California postcard recipient! I didn't even know Palm Springs HAD an aerial tramway. I always learn something by you :)

Um, I remember sending you this complete GEM of a card....and obviously, mine was a heartfelt rating! If only I could recall what offenses this motel committed! Perhaps it is best i don't recall, since we traversed the entire United States from Georgia to California via auto (sans a/c, by the way).... so this must have been truly a gruesome experience!
ReplyDeleteVery touched to have made the Sunday Boring Postcard hit parade!

Isn't is weird I ended up here?
I'm with Anonymous. I don't think it's a photograph. I think it's the architect's pre-construction concept of what it would look like. It's so old that they have a three-digit phone number, and "20th Century" was supposed to suggest new and modern. I'm surprised they don't advertise stabling.
