Giant Cow Skull

[bizarre_amado.jpg]

Amado, Arizona

I don't know about you, but I've always wanted to enter a building through a giant cow skull! Over the years this unique building has housed a variety of businesses (most recently the Longhorn Bar & Grille), and was featured in the 1975 movie Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore.

Directions: 40 miles south of Tucson, take the Arivaca Road exit (Exit # 48) from Interstate 19; the cow skull is on the west side of the freeway.

Last visited: December 1992 (building reported foreclosed and restaurant closed July 2012).

Standard disclaimer: Sites are described for entertainment purposes only, as they were at the time of my last visit. I can not vouch for the current condition of the site or its accessibility.
