I can only imagine what a marvelous playland it must have been for Mary Lou when, at nineteen, she became queen of her own castle. \n\nThe tour guides are passionate, and they have a wealth of knowledge about Mary Lou, her father, and the place they separately called home.\n\nNo visit to Phoenix would be complete without a trip to this zany and iconic masterpiece."^^ .
