Here is the transition of the Wan-Q from Chinese Restaurant to Polynesian Restaurant like the Book of Tiki did with matchbooks but I'm using the L.A. Yellow Pages

• 1959 I didn't know that Take Out Food was once known as Chicago Style.

• 1964 The Q Room Cocktail Lounge makes way for the Mauna Loa Tropical Room and the Exotic Macao Bar.

• 1970 You want Tiki? We got Tiki.

Here's the ad from 1964 as it appears in the phone book with some of the other restaurants around it.

I like the way KAWAFUKU reads down the side and who wouldn't waste a wish by having a Genie cook you a shish kabob? :wink:
