March 8

The Fake and The Real

The derelict and abandoned Steam-wheeler Restaurant Reuben E. Lee and the San Diego Skyline.
Built in 1969 the Reuben E. Lee is actually a Restaurant built on a barge and has no engine and has never left its berth.
Abandoned several times in its history, it has one of the best views of the very real and vibrant skyline of San Diego.
Its future fate is unknown, at least to me.

Looks far to good to go to waste, but perhaps it just your photographic skills make it look so good!

Vince		09-Mar-2011 13:16
Yes, it look so beautiful with the skyline at the background. Vote.

It seems like a spot like that would do a banner business. Very pretty light and such a wonderful view. ~V~

Ce bateau à vapeur est splendide sur ce fond urbain! V

Such a pretty paddleboat! The restaurant business is tough; but these types of dining establishments are usually pretty to look at but frequently serve lousy food.

Some places just never seem to do but it's surprising with a location like that. Makes for a very fine image.

Looks like a nice place to have dinner, what a great view! Excellent job capturing the beautiful SD scenery, Walter.

Superbe contraste avec ce vieux bateau à vapeur et cette ville moderne. V

A view like that and they can't make it work? Must be run by folks from here in Rochester :-(

Guest		09-Mar-2011 04:06
Nice perspective, Walter. You made her look beautiful.

Glenn D.		09-Mar-2011 04:01
I know the spot well, a least for a few minutes in a morning sunrise shoot. Looks so different under full light.

We used to go there to listen to music in the 80's.
