A user says the building still exists, pinpointing it near Halloran Springs Road and I-15 rather than Victorville proper, and notes it looks much worse now.
“That building is still there but it is near Halloran Springs Road & I-15. Not very pretty anymore... Here it is on Google maps.”

Those doubting if this could be real have never explored Americas deserts, high or low, and you really should. It’s a journey.

If the restaurant were named "Eat Ass," would it still be abandoned? We'll never know.

Grest pic. If you do drive through Victorville, there’s a place on the hwy (old Rte.66 just out if town) called Emma Jeans that’s been there forever. Stop in and get a hit of old school diner food. It’s the real thing.

There is one, sort of. Does Eat Place in Greenville, Mississpippi (now a chain but that’s the original). James Beard award winner and Favorite of Anthony Bourdain. 80+ years old. Fun and funky.

Looks like "Asteroid City" Not one of Anderson's best (compared to say, Grand Budapest Hotel, Isle of Dogs, Life Aquatic, or French Dispatch)

Something about the desert. This is a closed tire shop outside Thermal, CA on the way to the Salton Sea.

You have no idea how many times I've driven by that. #Sales #LifeOnTheRoad #ManufacturesRep #SkiAndBoardIndustry #SIA #RoadWarrior

Oh that’s a great pic. I haven’t been through Victorville CA for like 48 years…this was probably open then…
