All,
It broke my heart to see Sam's close. The place is an icon. I can remember driving by it in my dad's '56 Chevy, back when the '56 was a cheap used car. I used to bring out-of-towners to Sam's and the Glide 'er Inn as part of a mini tour of "the lost California". After all this time, I'm still in shock that Sam's is history.

I'm told that the swordfish neon sign is for sale. I hope it finds a good home.

The wrath of the tiki gods on greedy developers.
