Ella’s Frontier Joseph City, Az
September 30, 2010
I was in Joseph City last weekend and visited Ella’s Frontier. It is a little place that was part of old Route 66 and is now in ruins. I have driven by it a thousand times and taken pictures of the outside once before, but this time I went inside. It was really amazing. It was nasty and torn apart, but also colorful and really….I don’t know how to explain it. It was quite and felt kind of untouched. There were all things things around from the 70s and it was like we had found a treasure. The weeds had grown into the building, but they were really beautiful because they just twisted and twined along the ground and colorful clothing. See for yourself and maybe you will agree with me.

Oh yeah, you definitely captured the special qualities of the place. I love the dashes of light coming in through a torn-apart roof, shards of glass on mud, crooked wall construction…and that mysterious shoe! I could write a short story centered around this place. Thanks for sharing!
