Newer Pictures of Older Places... - Beyond Tiki

TS Tom Slick Tiki Socialite The Beaches of South Bay, SoCal Joined: Aug 26, 2005 Posts: 1093	TS Tom Slick Posted posted on Wed, Jul 16, 2008 11:17 PM First off we have some of the older Hotels lining Beach Blvd, From Huntington Beach to Buena Park... Then we have a little hidden gem in O.C., that I shall remain quiet on the actual location... The manager was cool about me taking these shots, but was leary of me putting them on a tiki website. Apparently there had been multiple offers made to buy these off of the owners, but the family that owns the property(and tikis) are keeping them. Since the owner plans to keep them in the family, they want to keep the location mum, to avoid any wrongdoing to the tikis. I know Sven HAS to know about these, and probably knows who carved them. So, who's carvings are these? They definitely look old up close...I actually really like the style.. The next 2 shots are from Long Beach...One of what is left of the abandoned Long Beach Automotive Museum window sign, and the one below is my favorite dive bar in Long Beach, est. 1940(ish)...It was originally named the "Venetian Room", but was renamed "The V Room" when the current owner took ownership. It is located on 4th street and Alamitos...Tell C.J. I sent ya! [ Edited by: Tom Slick 2008-07-16 23:21 ] [ Edited by: Tom Slick 2008-07-17 15:55 ]
