Aces bar at the Salton Sea

Aces bar at the Salton Sea

I went to the north shore of Salton Sea about a month ago and saw this abandonded bar/restaurant and I think I remember seeing a sign on the building that it was the "Ace of Spaces". On going back there last weekend, the sign was gone, so now I'm just calling it "Aces". Perhaps someone out there knows more about it. This is a partial image from an 8 x 20 because this is the largest image my scanner will accommodate. I'm still working on ways to get the entire image scanned so I can post the whole image.

Hi Dan,
Great shot of Aces and Spades!
For some history check out "Plagues & Pleasures on the Salton Sea", a documentary that shows it in it's prime.
Best, Rory
 
Very nice image - would love to see the full print. My wife has helped me with my 7X17 prints. She uses Photoshop with their photomerge function. A tutorial http://www.phong.com/tutorials/photostitch/ Hope to see the whole print soon.
 
Great shot - looks like a cool place... It might be interesting to try to get access for shooting some interiors too... Thanks for posting.
 
Used to hang out on another North Shores bar but don't remember this one. But, it does remind me about the SoCal sun and the harsh light. You really captured that feeling well.
now i want to go back and find the old watering hole if it still there.
Thanks..

jan
