I was going through vintage Escondido postcards on the web and came across this one of the Lake Wohlford Cafe. Yes we have a lake and yes it has a cafe. Across from the lake were vacations cabins which are now turned into a quasi trailer park. The cafe is still there and it is really scary - even more so than the killer in the woods cabins turned section 8 housing. How do I know this, well Carla and I were in that area recently, as the lake is very scenic, and since we were hungry so I foolishly said, "Let's go there". Although this is a vintage postcard, this is exactly what it still looks like and the funny part is this is exactly where Carla and I sat. When I came across this I was dying thinking, who the hell is stalking us??? I sent it to Carla because I just could not get over it. She with her ever present wit replied, I actually thought it was us for a moment - lol. Needless to say the cafe is vintage creepy not vintage cool so it was a once in a lifetime deal. Been there done that, no need to go back and if I ever get the odd desire to return well I can just look at the postcard.
