Rancho Deluxe Z is open til 10:30pm; very creepy in the dark. But very cool too.

This is a very weird and very cool off-beat sculpture garden! Lots of sculptures, vintage signs, paintings, etc.

The Rancho Deluxe Z lot is on a dead end street, so you can park on the street.
[Kerin Fassler, 07/17/2019]We met Max Weaver on a stop by to visit. A genuinely nice guy, Max is a trove of information about the area. The eclectic collection draws out the hidden depths of your memory. I particularly appreciated the Vietnam Memorial tucked into the corner.
