I know there is some good stuff out there for this location but does an exterior shot of the restaurant exist? I found a small mention of the location on Wikipedia that states quote " A facade of lava rock adorned the northern wall along Grand Avenue, where today only a small section remains visible, tucked at the end of the balcony of Zest’s outdoor café." Below is the image I was able to find by using TC satellite control. I have allot of time on my hands. A matchbook from my collection. [ Edited by: uncle trav 2009-11-22 16:17 ]
