Nice Find. Here is a quote from the thread by Tikifish.
"Gabriel and Nakashima will revise and add to the Mai Kai restaurant in Fort Lauderdale and work on another Mauna Loa, this one in Pittsburgh that will be headed by the Detroit project's 40 local stockholders.
(I assume the Mauna Loa Pittsburgh never happened...)"
TRT puts the Mauna Loa in Monroeville, near Pittsburgh. I not sure if this location is associated with the Detroit Mauna Loa. It seems if the owners opened another Restaurant that the same type of font would have been used for the printed media. This would make items such as mugs, server ware, matchbooks and even company letterhead interchangeable between the locations. A trip to the local library may turn up some more information.
