I think the mystery location is solved.

I agree.

Okay, I said I was going to bow out, but with this newly found information, I'm rejuvinated! Another indication that Lisa's Jewelry is the location (and not the adjacent businesses -- one of which I suggested previously it may be) is the position of 'the door on the left' in relation to the sidewalk. The door and doorway to the left of Vy's Jewelry is sunken and further in from the sidewalk, which differs from the door at Lisa's Jewelry and the mystery tiki bar -- both of which are identical in position.

When I get my 'Tiki Detectives' show contract together for an on air broadcast, I'm definitely hiring AlienTiki (the one who first suggested the Grant Avenue location), Tipsy McStagger (for his attention to detail), and Elecia's Uncle Walt (for his age, experience, and swag). And if 'Tiki Detectives' ever becomes an off-Broadway comedy, I'm hiring woofmutt to script it.

Unless somebody in the San Francisco area can take a trip to the appropriate library or other institution housing records of businesses in the Chinatown area in the 1950s (would such records be accessible on the internet? at a SF government site, perhaps?), it would seem our reliance is currently on Elecia's family and Elecia's coming-up trip to SF.
