I ran in to see several large Bosko totems and a pair of seven foot tall Bosko masks on each end of the bar. Above the wall sconces were framed exotica LP cover from Quiet Village, Taboo, and Ritual of the Savage and on shelves above the door perhaps ten seemingly valuable mugs. I am guessing these items were salvaged from Taboo Cove . . . Excellent urban archeology, Hodadhank! Where will Don the Beachcomber be located? A silver lining to the tragedy that befell Taboo Cove.
