I picked up this postcard from the Jade Restaurant in Kingman, Arizona. One of those classic roadside spots along Route 66. Here is a close-up of the sign and the painted Tiki out front. Here are a couple more postcards showing early versions of the Jade Restaurant. I found this information about the original owner Charlie Lum from a Kingman Cookbook on-line. Here is another photo postcard of Charlie Lum at the Lewis Restaurant. Charlie Lum must have sold the Jade at some point as the back of the postcard I have says the owners were Tommy and Gracie Choy.
