Ghost Resort

The Biltmore may not have been the most architecturally compelling place in Palm Springs, but it did stand as a monument to a cooler, swankier time in that town's history. The resort stood empty for more than 20 years before it was bulldozed last year. Christopher has made a little site as a rememberance. On the second page, he shares impressions of the eerie, abandoned shell of a resort we visited four years ago. Here are two pictures of the resort's entrance, from an early '80s brochure and 2000:

If you have any pics of the Biltmore, Christopher would love to hear from you - contact him at cgm95(AT)yahoo.com.
