Is that even a Tiki A-frame? With those diamond shaped "dots" on the front, and what looks somewhat like a Heraldic Shield hanging from the roof beam, it may be a Euro-style A-frame (i.e., a Swiss Chalet or Ski Lodge) that has allowed the paint to come off the front and had the roof redone in Mexican/Mediterranean unglazed tile.

Looking at that sign close up, it now looks.... together with those studs in the A-frame fascia, like some medieval coat of arms, a la "Ye Olde" House of the Rising Sun......By the late 60s, A-frames housed all sorts of establishments, be it Italian restaurants, car dealerships, or churches.

But that all does not hinder this post to be an exciting chance for urban archeology! And don't diss David Hasselhof, he is really big in Germany! He had a singing career here! Like Heino! :)
