I'm sure most of you have heard the song "The Hotel California" by the Eagles which was released during the mid 1970s. You think this group was kidding about this.... huh?? Well, here you go...here's a genuine photo of what might have been the exact place. In El Centro, CA. This picture was likely taken in the later 1940s.

"You can stay here but you can never leave..." as the song lyrics closely describe. To boot, this joint had a cafe as the sign also proclaims....

Did you ever dine there? If so, how was the "pink champagne" ???

Yikes!!!
