I am sorry I did not have the space to give each and every image captions...but maybe it did leave a little mystery, too. Having everything spelled out and dated and credited might not have left any room for wonderment, and stunted the inspiration for future urban archaeologists.

The fact that the captions had to be trilingual made it hard space-wise sometimes, though on the other hand the European text added a fake scientific quality to the images, like outsiders looking at a strange cult, no?

Anyway: You are looking at the Armet & Davis designed Mar Vista Bowling Alley Coffeshop (BOT p.197), whose Maikai Room and Tikiness did not last long. But it still is a functioning Bowling Alley (just met there with Sabu and Tangaroa a while back), AND has one very abstract support post Tiki out front.

The "Protagonist" in the photo (which by the way was in 3D originally) probably hails from O.A., which A&E worked with on many jobs
