There is still a Castaways in Burbank, CA, that I believe was part of a chain that owned the Ports of Call, the Pieces of Eight, and The Reef in Long Beach. However, the same "CASTAWAYS" type then the one in Miami was used for the (much smaller) Castaways in Las Vegas, those two might have been related. House Industries put that font out in their Las Vegas font kit. This should be in a thread about the Miami Castaways that already exists here on TC somewhere (with nice photos). I found some in the brand new Miami Modern book: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=12935&forum=1&0 [ Edited by: bigbrotiki on 2005-01-27 15:15 ]
