At Nevada’s Clown Motel. If you’re brave, or just foolish, check out Cheetah Velour’s post to see lots more frightening photos of the joint.
She also notes the following:
I realize that clowns make some people uneasy & that’s ok. I’m not judging. If you can’t handle looking at clowns, there is always the cemetery across the parking lot.
How conveeeenient.
Whatever you’re dressing up as this Halloween, eBay wants you to share your costume on Facebook and enter for a chance to win one of fifteen $100 eBay Gift Cards! Winners will be selected at random every day from now until October 31. Of course, they want you to check out their Halloween page too. But I say check out what I’m selling on eBay — certainly part of your $100 shopping spree can be spent with me.

Note the arcade sign in the background… Is she leaving that poor pup there while she goes to the arcade? Or has she just stopped to have her photo taken?
No, it’s not some new cool saying the kids have (at least my cool kids won’t confirm that it is), Hippo Burgers was a food you could, once upon a happy hippo hippie time, eat at the Hippopotamus Hamburger Restaurant.
The cool logo, as shown on this retro tee, was by Wolo von Trutzschler.
Unfortunately have no memories of this place I’d love to have dined at, we’ll have to rely on the words of others (click-ity-click the links) and ephemera like this that’s been left behind — a cute, hippo behind at that.
Ah the funk that was San Francisco ! Presenting an original t-shirt from the fabulous, beloved and sadly departed landmark restaurant Hippo Hamburgers in San Francisco, California at Van Ness and Pacific streets. Purchased at the source in 1977, lovingly worn then stored all these years. Cute cute cute full graphic of the Hippo on front with logo on back. 100% cotton/ USA made/ size medium with no tears, stains or holes. The Hippo may be history but this fun souvenir can be yours today.
