The Parker Palm Springs Hotel

The “Pretty Woman” Opera House
‘ Today’s locale is one that I have been trying to track down for over a year and a half now – ever since discovering that pretty much every other location website out there had gotten it wrong. I am talking about the exterior of the supposed San Francisco opera house featured in the 1990…
