Madonna Inn

But I just couldn't rev up any energy from people, or people wouldn't call back and sponsor.

Well, I think if the American Legion steps in to help you, I think the Madonna Inn would return that phone call.

Bob, what do you think is going on? Why is there this decline in patriotism?

I think, you know, it's because of Trump.

the castle." Yeah, yeah.

I think it's like, oh, uh... or like the Madonna Inn.

Yes.

Have you been to the Madonna Inn?

Yes, of course.

It's like that where it's like, oh, this is the-

And there's a different ethos here than there is in the northern part of the state and the southern part of the state.

And frankly, just down the road, there's a hotel called Madonna Inn, which is very famous for its flamboyantly decorated rooms.

It's very different.

It's a lot of fun to stay there.

So it's like five or six hours drive north of California.

So we stopped off at a California landmark, actually, the Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo.

Very cool place.

It's it's its own thing.

And the the interior, I won't even describe, just look it up.

It's it's kind of wild.

and if you stay there all the rooms have their own different theme you know they love like bare rock faces and waterfalls and all kinds of stuff so uh and they're famous for like certain things on their menu like this like bright pink cake so um yeah it's a very cool little stop if you're ever traveling california definitely make sure the madonna inn is on your list

So after almost a week off of tour and being at home for a few days, We get back on track.

That's why I'm like, "Come on, people." Mm-hmm.

And I was so happy to hear this because sometimes I stumble upon things on the road that I'm like, "What is that, and why didn't I stay there?" There's a place in California called the Madonna Inn.

I don't even know why I was there.

Great bar.

I, I, but I don't know what town was it close to that I was staying in.

I remember the town.

I get confused in Northern Ca- It was kinda Northern California-y, but it's called the Madonna Inn.

Mm.

It's like, it's, oh my God, I love it so much.

We go up to NorCal annually, basically, to go to San Francisco and to go to the Madonna Inn and to go to NorCal.

I love it up there and I love that drive.

However... doing a long distance drive by yourself while you have the sniffles or having to like you know blow your nose and just it's it's the worst it's the worst i hate it so much uh but road trips like my favorite thing in the world so me

Yeah, yeah.

But the Madonna Inn is known for this crazy urinal in the men's restroom.

It's like a waterfall.

You'll be in there and people will come in with their phones and just start taking pictures.

We're going to go to San Luis Obispo and, um, and Morro Bay and see some place.

We're going to stay at the Madonna Inn.

I don't know if you've ever heard of the Madonna Inn.

Yeah,

because of the Simpsons.

Wait, is there a Madonna Inn thing in the Simpsons?

Well, tell me what the Madonna Inn is.

Yes, I know what you're...

as more than 180,000 Californians are enrolled in the Imagination Library.

Parton also visited the Central Coast regularly, performing at the Mid-State Fair in Paso Robles and spent time at the Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo.

The bill is heading to Governor Newsom's desk.

Thanks for listening to the LA Report Evening Edition.

It was really great.

Did you kind of go there as like, oh, this will be a kitschy like Madonna Inn or Graceland? I'm sure Graceland's great.

Bad example.

Yes.
