| Pardon me, New Yucca Bowl - Yucca Valley, CA |
We do our very best to bring you the best in bowling alley beauty that we can find. Sometimes, even when an alley's bones are old, the rest of it has been updated, remodeled, or "fancified" and the last remaining vestige of its former glory is a lone sign. New Yucca Bowl isn't a proud, boastful sign; it's the crown of a sun-scorched bowling pin shyly peeking out from atop a simple light box. Yes, this sign has probably seen better days, but you'd better believe that when the desert sun goes down and the perimeter lights start their twinkling, there isn't a more glorious sign to be seen on Broadway (even with a few bulbs missing). And as I always say, let ye who is without a few bulbs missing among you, let him cast the first stone.
Cheers!

Thanks RS!!! I'm glad you like the shirt! Thanks for the shout out!
DeleteHey, I drive by that sign whenever I go to Joshua Tree!! It's really a neat one; I keep meaning to snap a pic.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see more of your desert snaps; you have such a great eye! I hope you're having fun out here.
DeleteWhat happened to the OLD Yucca Bowl, I ask you? (the lettering on this sign is just GORGEOUS, btw)"Let ye who is without a few bulbs missing among you, let him cast the first stone." needs to be embroidered on a pillow. With also embroidered bulbs all around the outside, obviously. LOVE IT.
ReplyDeleteI want to know what happened to Old Yucca Bowl as much as anybody. I think when the alley got remodeled (just stripping away the original character and painting it green and purple), the "New" Yucca Bowl was born. The sign remains pretty cool. When is your birthday? I'll get my embroidery hoop ready!
