I'm thinking it's the Ski Inn.
The Ski Inn is in Bombay! This sticker siting is 18 miles north. The Ski Inn has a few $1 bills on the walls w/ Viewfinder acknowledgements but no stickers yet! Last week the TV series the Mentalist was shooting part of an episode in the Ski Inn for next season.
This place is near Todd's annual NewYear hang out. He may not be aware the new 'museum' exists???

Salton City is on the westside on S86 and Bombay Beach is straight across on the eastside on Hwy 111.

Bob PMed me the correct info and Todd has it right!!! Great banana sodas, floats and shakes. It is within walking distance of the North Shore Yacht Club. I'll post a wedsite for the museum tomorrow. My one year old neice (Windy's daughter) LOVED the place as she can point and say "banana"!!! Look for the BIG Banana out front and the Yellow VW on Hwy 111.
ps He plans on getting a license to sell BANANA BEER ???

Post by: Keith Jones - VP on August 07, 2013, 03:46:08 pm: This is the 2010 owner in Hesperia. He attempted to sell his collection on e-bay w/o any luck. The 'new collection owner made him an "undisclosed" offer (my guess $4-5 K) and relocated the museum to Mecca/North Shore @ Salton Sea!!!
