The Gobbler Motel and Super Club - RIP

The Gobbler!

It's hard to beleive this place went out of business! I remember going there for big family dinners in the 1970's. The restaurant / bar area had shag carpet on the walls, and if I remember right, the circular bar rotated...

Take the tour (click the 'lets go gobblin!' text). You won't regret it!

Oh no...

I think that's my grandmother siting on the left in the Disco Inferno! .

I'm not kidding!

OMG.....it's so tacky, that it's actually cool. LOL

Screw the Happy Barn...

The Gobbler was a true piece of Americana...

I especially liked the description of the B&W couch morphing into a panda. Better not consume too much of Mike D.'s stash or you could be in for a bad trip if you are staying at the gobbler.

This piece adds new dimension to the term multi-use building...

it's a water tower *and* a building....

His collection of churches should be destroyed by God. When this architect dies, he'll have to answer to the Ultimate Design Review Board!

At least this guy has a unique style, even though I think its horrible.

I was sympathetic at first. . .until I saw The Normandy Apartments. El Yucko Supremo.

Multifamily was NOT his forte.
