But I find the following postcard interesting. Auditorium Hotel, Houston TX What's interesting is that this is during the war, right before the time period of the Congo Jungle menu I posted earlier. What's with the animals? LOL It's a bit more circus theme than Jungle. But definitely exotic with the mountains in the background. Kilimanjaro perhaps? :wink: Oh, forgot to mention that it is my understanding that the Jamail brothers were WWII vets. Perhaps they had been to and were inspired to go with a jungle theme by this bar? [ Edited by: thebigt 2009-12-21 12:11 ]
