We’re you able to get any memorabilia about Spanky” from “Our Gang”? There are several other notables who stopped off at the Inn. Also, Denny’s restaurant has some wonderful pictures in their business of the old A.V. airport runway. It’s the Denny’s across from AlaskaUSA Bank on 7th and that street that runs along side of Costco. I wonder if they would be able to have copies made for the museum. The way they are building houses, it would behoove some pilot to go up and take an aerial view of the landscape before we become a wannabe LA. Traffic is ridiculous now as it is.
The apples trees are gone now and so is the turkey farm
The “Pancake House” is no more up on Hiway 18. I hope you have pictures of St. Mary’s with the huge pines out front before they cut them down to make way for the new E.R. and ambulance deck.
Our Lady Of The Desert Catholic Church on Corwin, used to be called St. David’s complete with parochial school.
The bridge (Bear Valley Road) over the Mojave River used to be one lane each way with absolutely NO traffic signals….just stop signs. How about taking pictures of all the signatures on the cinder block walls inside the current cafe at the AV airport? They belong to pilots of long ago. These are just a few of the things I remember.

In reply to cindy whittemore. Thanks for the comment Cindy Unfortunately, nothing stays the same. Some changes are for the good, many are not.

Too bad this is all that is left of an historical site that defined Apple Valley. Greed and investors seem to wreak havoc everywhere to make the almighty buck! Now that “vintage” is in vogue, there is not much left to share. However, I am glad to see someone cares enough to keep some of these memories alive . Sadly though, this next generation of youngsters will never know or care who Roy Rogers and Trigger were.
