Just stopped off at the dinosaurs in Cabazon for the first time ever. The EAT sign still stands. The former diner is now an empty lot. Glad you guys caught this before demolition!

[@chelsiirvine8970]

We must rebuilt it

[@adamthewoo]

As an 80s child and huge fan of Big Adventure this seriously blew my mind . Thanks for watching.

Great video!

+adamthewoo What was with the Static noise at 7:20 ?

[@infinity306]

+Mark O' Maybe you should look at the original filming location video in the description then.. this was just an addendum he made of the cafe after the Wheel Inn closed..

[@asbrand]

Amazing how fast a place can decay after having closed just 2.5 years earlier. Wow.

really enjoyed this video! I too am an 80's child and loved pee wee's movies and pee wee's playhouse.

[@sykwookiee]

are you one of those people who stopped watching Paul after he got caught "waxing the carrot"...I don't think that he should be dumped on for doing what comes naturally to all of us in a place where it is considered normal...he only got lumped on because of who he is...not like he was spanking it in a day care center...I'm just global that I never got busted with some of my more adventurous lady friends...parks,cemeteries, movies, even once in a crowded restaurant...soooo...Is it cool or not...to do something sexual in a semi-public place?

[@fast03vette4me]

How can this somewhat iconic/famous location not be remodeled highlighting the movie connection? Hell I would go in and order the "Large Marge" or the "Pee-Wee Platter."

[@brandonpage7087]

That's exactly what I was thinking!!

[@EdsterIII]

I remember getting a t-shirt back at the state fair, after Pee Wee's um run in with the cops. It said simply Were Pulling for Pee Wee. LoL. With a "fist" 👊 in the air.

[@MaxZomboni]

Another one of those places, that looks like it shut down in the middle of a shift. Frozen forever in time with grease in the fryers, and the floor half swept. Kind of sad. It looks like a good location. You'd think somebody would be able to make money with it.

[@KCOWMOO]

almost to sad to watch, the world I knew as kid is eroding away

[@hobojoe9337]

Due to the nature of existence it's inevitable, but it's always painful when something fades away before we do. Especially when it's landmark places and things you'd expect to last beyond our lifetimes.

[@ihavefallenandicantreachmy2113]

So are you.....May the Shwartz be With You (because Brian has a "Spaceballs" Shirt, on his...um...self.) I'm eroding away, also. It is heartburning to know, that, someday, we all will be Fossil Fuel and used for Deep Frying future Families favorite Fried Fare, at a reasonable price, hopefully.

[@WaybackTECH]

I find these videos very fascinating and entertaining to watch. I am amazed how many of these abandoned places you have checked out are almost apocalyptic that things are just laying around as if people just suddenly disappeared in the middle of doing something. Amazing how much stuff gets left behind when these places close up, even small things like the photo album that seems like it would be valuable to the owner if nothing else.

[@DyenamicFilms]

+WaybackTECH I watched a few of these 'abandoned places' videos and I always wondered about that. I can only think it was a legal thing and the place was ordered closed suddenly. You'd think some auction company or something would come in and at least try to salvage and sell some of the equipment and stuff.

[@Skyfire_The_Goth]

+WaybackTECH Well that particular restaurant the employees on the last day of operation just dropped tools turned off the equipment and left at closing time. +DyenamicFilms It wasn't ordered closed suddenly by anyone, the owner died and his family didn't want to continue it so they ran it till it was out of supplies and just closed it.

[@iamasickman]

I wish Adam would have just taken the photo album. I hope somebody did. It seems a shame for all that stuff to just be bulldozed away.

Not as vast as he should have, in my opinion, but, vast, nonetheless (i wish i could think of another, shorter word, for "vast", albeit, a wee bit vaster. The English Language is so great, in scope and size. That, reminds me. Time to brush my Molar and go to bed. That's it, "Molar". A "Molar" is a large Tooth. Good Holidays)

[@iamasickman]

@@ihavefallenandicantreachmy2113 I can understand bulldozing the thing down if it's a burden on the owners or family. I'm not so ultra-nostalgic to believe that we should preserve every little detail of everything ever. The building looked to be in pretty bad shape and probably should be destroyed. I just can't believe that there was no one around with enough concern to at least preserve the photo album, which wouldn't have taken much, and perhaps a few other nick-knacks. Good luck with that tooth of yours.

[@mascottie]

It's only been closed two years but looks like twenty years

[@MrTubahead4]

Scrapers and homeless people and such can do that.
