Wig Wam Motel Rialto California


This shot taken from Foothill Blvd (old Route 66) is of the Rialto, California Wig Wam Motel. There was originally several of these motels most of them along Route 66 with this one having been recently restored.

If you stay at this motel, your room is one of the individual tee pees.

We have not stayed there yet but plan to on our next trip to Southern California to visit family.

Sycamore Inn


Sycamore Inn
Originally uploaded by Dornoff Photography

This is the front of the Sycamore Restaurant that is located just east of Upland, California on Foothill Blvd which is part of old US Route 66.

My family had dinner hear on several occasions as my Uncle, my brother, and a friend of the family all lived in close proximity.

This restaurant has been here for years. In fact there is actually gun shot holes near the bar from old west shoot outs that occurred in the building back in the day.

The restaurant was closed when I drove through here in 1994 and was slated to be bulldozed for new development but fortunately it was saved and reopened.
