Yes.  Mr. Knotts (from Knott's Berry Farm fame) bought the place years ago and restored it.  I'd really like to visit the place.  It is currently closed until April 3, due to the virus.  (I really doubt that all of these places and functions that posted early April re-opening dates will be able to stick to them.  I'm sure they will all be extended.)

Another interesting former mining ghost town in CA is Bodie, it's somewhat maintained and is a state historic park

Oh yes, I would definitely like to visit Bodie as well.  Another great ghost town in a somewhat remote desert area.

Miss Elanor Carnahan is ''Carney'', heh heh

At first I thought Chic was a night club or something, but it must be Chicago.


What does it say under the address - West Uni. Ave?

Ha, yes.  I almost didn't catch Carney.  The black printing on the postcard made it hard for me to read it.

Yes, probably Chicago, though I like your thought of it being a night club better.
 
I located a West University Ave. in the town of Champaign.

From what I can ascertain, the restaurant was demolished and replaced with a CVS store.

Beautiful script!
There was a little girl,
            Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
            When she was good,
            She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.
