The picture is the front doors of the now abandoned Mountain Shadows resort. Growing up in Arizona this is the kind of place you hoped one day to frequent.
I picture the cocktail lounge inhabited by guys wearing western cut suits, silver tips on their collars and
guys named Duke and Rusty. These two are obviously here to meet one of the many old money dolls
sitting at the bar. It is rumored that John Wayne, Steve Mcqueen and a long list of others stayed here. Some of the best real estate in the city and still no takers.
Developers however did manage to open the Montelucia an architecturally retarded mega resort already in and out of bankruptcy.
Mountain Shadows is like finding a mint condition Pucci sport coat in a thrift store for a buck.
Somebody please step up grab this amazing property and bring it back to it's glory days.
By the way Rusty called he wants his coat back.
Love it, Tom! Your are on the money.
