I was in Orange County last week on vacation and checked out the site of the late Kona Lanes, and took a few snaps (click for larger image):


About the only thing that's changed in the four years since the building was unnecessarily razed is the weeds since raised.


The mounts that used to hold the giant street sign remain.


Finally, as if to mock us, the one remaining structure is the stone wall that sat underneath the other end of the overhang from the building's main entrance (according to my memory, anyway—the more recent pics of the building show no overhang, but it may have come down at the same time as the more garish red extensions over the former coffee shop).

This represents progress from what, exactly?
