The old Loreto "Penthouse" as it is now:
I like the Aero California plane in the last mural.
Just thought these pics might bring back pleasant memories for some of you.

No memories for ME, but should make Skeet (The Preacher) feel right at home.

Ah, it is a pity to see another such honorable building fall into desrepair. While Baja has not had particularly memorable hoarhouses, they have done
in a pinch, and I have the greatest respect for those fine ladies.

Hey, you can stop by Pineda's and make an offer to buy the place. I forget what they're asking, couple million I think.
Dollars, not pesos.

I was just kinda wandering off, thinking about these murals, and I came to wondering if just maybe some of the patrons were so inspired by the "ladies
of the house" that they felt compellled to paint pictures of their homesteads or where they had come from to leave a lasting memory so the "ladies"
would not forget them??!! Say like # 1 was a fisherman, came and left by "panga grande" and the next was a rancher from the mountains,(see the pine
tree) and the last, well that is pretty obvious,(except those do not look anything like the Sierra Gigantes) Aero cal, back and forth so to speak!!
Those murals do tell stories.Any more wonderers out there??? 
Happiness is just a Baja memory away...

SERIOUSLY !!
Thats what I was wondering too, plus - like Sallysouth, about the really artistic Murals - so I can't think of the Ladies painting it - they were
probably too busy then. Maybe the Owner wanted to give the Place an artistic touch? Looks really relaxing with those Murals on the Walls - certainly
better then plain painted.
My deepest respect to the Ladies that earned their living there.Tough job!
But maybe this is the Reason they left business - to tough a job, for little money, and bad reputation in an small community.
They probably got more money in bigger towns, and could have there a PRIVAT Life too - without to be stigmatized?
Or better education gave them other choices for a job.
Or is there just NO business anymore, to many married retirees that won't spend a buck for this service. As they rather stick to HOME cooking?
Possible that there are less singles around, as it used to be in the past?
I understood from another thread (last summer) that there used to be quite some "Houses" all over Baja.( I found this an excellent and informative
thread, it's part of the History of BAJA!!)
Times have changed, different needs now? Or is it a health issue ?
Hey DENNIS, you serious? I can't see offensive stuff here - only if you find a healthy (and fun) part of our "Human needs" offensive.

Who said they went out of business?
They moved, the new location is somewhere across the highway, in the industrial zone.
