A little Kelbo's collection pic - General Tiki

No, all joking aside, besides some resin fishnet floats, and slides that I took, I do not have much (a mug, a pin, a matchbook and a napkin). It is strange that it seems that they never had postcards...or elaborate menus, or swizzle sticks. I think they always were a working man's place and did not go for that fancy stuff. I am still hoping to find (and re-publish) that great color brochure with the map one day, (the one I posted a black and white xerox of in that granddaughter's thread), that one had the best photos, including the Tiki and the conversation window in it. I encourage however any and all postings of Kelbo's finds here. I am still bummed I did not win that one slide recently of the Fairfax Kelbo's. I also want to encourage any further research, like about the connection of the either one of the owners with Horrace Heidt's band. Here are some pics from Horrace Heidt's apartments in the Valley: The place still has some nice features, including the big waterfalls, an A-frame, and some Tikis.
