Driving east on SR 69 into Prescott Valley, it's hard to miss this building. No, it's not a franchise toy store. Would you guess that it's a dentist's office? Oh, yes, he does specialize in children. There's a similar structure over on west Gurley heading toward Gail Gardner Way. Same dentist, they say.
I have questions about this establishment. First, does it entice children -- or scare them? Mikeb took
his picture of the Gurley Street version in black and white; he says,
The[se places] are just sort of creepy and I wanted to portray just how sinister they feel to me.
Another question: is this idea an original -- or something that is, to use the word properly, a meme in the dentistry trade, promoted in the appropriate specialty press?
Note how the crooked house theme is carried over to the bench, waste can and even the shrubbery (below.)
