hey chris!

wow! our karma has been paying off! that story is great...really amazing pics. especially the miami one! that was the Sambo's i went to as a kid. i still have a coloring book or two from the Sambos club.

i don't have too much else collection-wise other than the wall/coat rack seen above. it must have been from an entry corridor as it's marked "left". have no idea which Sambo's it came from though.

one of the cool things about it, is that its made of wood...hand-silkscreened on wood. if you think about it, you realize how "plasticky" the resturant chain world has become since the days of Sambos. Signage and logo decor was pretty much hand made then. now, most chain related decor is mass produced. can you think of anything today for chains that is as hand crafted as your light panels?

Sambos rocks the casbah!

GREAT WORK, MAN!
