Photos of Casa Bonita
11/01/2005
Casa Bonita (Tulsa) closed its doors this Summer. It was a sad affair, but at the same time it was a good opportunity to go and pay respects to a childhood memory.
Unfortunately, very few of my pics came out. The cheap Polaroid disposable camera I purchased was flawed, and Walgreen's was only able to harvest a few relatively viewable images from the roll. While I continue to mourn this sad fact, here are a few of the surviving photos.
Novachild and the big Pink Gorilla.The Gorilla contained the same 'actor' that put on the suit for the very first time,
and he was feeling a bit overwhelmed on this chaotic, sad, excited evening.
The creepy Fortune Teller lady.Insert a couple of tokens, and she moves her stiff hands
over some tarot cards before spitting out your 'fortune.'
The last time I will probably ever see the Treasure Room. Shortly before this photo was taken, someone or a group of
someones vandalized the room, bent the iron rods in the
windows and smashed the treasure chest. Bastards.

And so it goes.

You look great with the pink monkey!! I forgot to tell you, there is a sign atop Casa Bonita… Coming soon: Casa Viva! It’s true. The previous co-creator of the facility is making the changes needed to stay in the building and improving/changing (expanding?) the venue. I can’t wait to see what they do with it…
