Sometimes as you’re driving along, on your way to somewhere, you pass something that you weren’t expecing. “Well, that looks really cool, and a bit creepy. I need to check it out.” You’ve probably said and done the same thing yourself.

Unable to find any information on this place, I’ve named it the Twin Palms Motel, in honor of the two palms standing right in front of what was probably the motel office. And here are some of the photos I took of the place.

This end of the building looks like it was the motel office, and perhaps where the manager/owners lived back in the day.

And this was most certainly a cafe standing near the motel office.

Looking back now, I wish I had opened the refrigerator door and peaked inside.

Anyone with any information regarding this old place, please get in touch via the comments below, I’d like to be able to add some history to this post.

Probably the two most famous "Bench People" at Knott's Berry Farm. They have a unique tie-in to those giant Dinosaurs out at Cabazon, along the 10 Freeway. Checkout this link to read about it: https://www.exploratography.com/blog-cal/cabazo
