I would love to see the typeface of that! Though somehow I don't have high hopes for remnants, in recent years MOST of the themed signs have been modernized or renamed. That's why it's great to see a sign like the Tiki Atoll still in the original Asian font. One of my faves was the TIKI TOO in Santa Monica, which had it's name attached to the building written in thick nautical rope! When I got to shoot it was already halfway gone, and that was in '94. Yes, it's great to see so much urban archeology activity here in Locating Tiki, thanks guys and gals!
