SmugMug > keywords > balinese room > What's left of the Balinese Room, a historical marker, and a hangout for movie stars and gamblers during Prohibition.  In 2001, it was renovated (insofar as a historical marker is allowed to be renovated) and turned into a night club with live music and a salon.  I think it was the longest extension out over the Gulf -- the support beams still standing are not indicative of how far out it stretched.  I can only assume the supports further out were washed away completely.  It was a huge structure, and the face that only this much of it is left is a testament to the sheer power of Hurricane Ike.  If you would like to get an idea of what it used to look like, here is the website: http://www.balineseroom.net/.

The birds hanging out around this sign reminded me of a group of Vegas show girls  waiting for their act to begin.

The sign is very pale and faded,  which added to its charm but also made it a little bland for photographing.  I played around a little with the adjustment layers to get this effect.  Open to additional suggestions.
