Amazing A-Frame in Scottsdale AZ - General Tiki

Maybe this is a remnant of that. I think there was also an a-frame poly-pop style Norge Cleaners down there somewhere. Might have been closer to the airport. I lived there in the 90's. All the midcentury buildings still intact there got me really into vintage/midcentury stuff. Growing up on 'Forbidden Island' I wasn't exposed to midcentury stuff much-just bungalows and Victorians. Sadly, alot of these buildings were torn down in the late 90's before the preservation groups got going. I think I may have rented a car from that A-frame-back in the day when I'd escape the heat by driving over to Huntington Beach for Mai Tais at Tony's on the Pier in Redondo Beach. Those were the days... :drink: Tacky
