Sorry I can't help with the Blythe address. It seems almost certain that the Tropics is not standing anymore, however, it would be of interest to find out what is there now.

The Indio Tropics was still there in '92 (in Indian hands), but it never had an A-frame or much other features. However, several Tikis were still standing, albeit painted, which made the nicest one, a Marquesan, look like he was wearing Blue Jeans. What was remarkable was the fact that the original sign was still in existence:

These babies must have looked wild in the their days of full rootball hairdos!
