Bob Hope's house & a cute carwash sign




The top photo is of Bob Hope's house, he doesn't live there anymore (unless his ghost does). It's high up in the hills over Palm Springs and can only be accessed by a private road. We found out about a hiking trial that goes up and around it, so that's how I got the shot. Weird looking and VERY big. Rumor has it that it has only one bedroom and that he used the place predominately for entertaining after golf games. The next pic is of a really neat carwash sign in Rancho Mirage (home of the Betty Ford Clinic - pink elephants, anyone? - and about 15 minutes away from PS). I literally took the photo on the fly in the truck, so I'm surprised it came out as good as it did.

My first thought of Bob Hope's house was it reminded me of the old TWA building at JFK. One bedroom? That's a good way to keep people from staying too long.

Love the Car wash sign.
