Well, I think a good start would be to start accumulating old photos of SAM'S from as far back as possible and research any important newspaper articles from the past. There must have been some important weddings or meetings that have taken place @ SAM'S. Try to create a living history and tie it to the importance of the coastal community.
I'm sure there are at least a couple TCers who have info going way back and maybe even post cards, match books, tiki mugs and photos.
So...Anyone with any old photos that can be scanned and emailed? AND anyone with access to the newspaper vaults (O.C. Register and LA Times)?
What about the structure itself? Isn't it a remarkable enough design to attract some preservationist's attention?
Just some thoughts........
