From after the NHC, up in Pioneertown, at a Roadhouse named “Pappy and Harriets”. Remembered I had it on the phone. Must be a Southern California thing. All in good fun. ;D
Pioneertown is up by Yucca Valley in the sticks, did a day trip to Joshua Tree from there. It was built for TV and movies after WWII. Instead of fronts, it is made of buildings. Cisco Kid and such were filmed there.
Pappy and Harriets is an indie place for musicians. The web site points out that Robert Plant and Eric Burdon have played there along with other notables. Was a decent meal too. It was on Antony Bordain’s last show that we watched, so it will be on the tourist/foodie trail now.
Didn’t know that until we were up there. It was one of those places that takes you back. Read that the ground breaking was done by Roy Rogers, and Gene Autry and the Sons of the Pioneers used to broadcast from the bowling alley (now closed).
