Route 66. That would have been the last stop before going over cajon pass into San Bernardino. I'm guessing in Grapes of Wrath they turn north at Barstow to go up to San Joaquin valley. But most depression era trips would have gone through Victorville.

But, is it for sale? I want it, and I don't want any customers either.

its not abandoned. i run a very important cult through this above ground location.

Looks like the cafe from the original version of The Postman Always Rings Twice.

Lived in Victorville. This might be somewhere else but it’s not in Victorville.

That’s bleak and beautiful at the same time.

Same. It's graphically great, and its brevity makes it witty. A few years back I read about a restaurant that opened in a former prison space — they named it 'Klink'. Play it in your head. So great.

My cousins told me that a majority of the residents were senior citizens. Last time I was there there were nice malls and restaurants but I was warned that I wouldn’t find a husband there 😂😂😂

Doesn't it look just like the restaurant in Bagdad Cafe?! I loved that movie -so uplifting 🫶
