Huh? What does Buddha have to do with Polynesian-Pop? I must say I find the use of Buddha as a kitsch decorative item in very bad taste. Until we start seeing "Jesus Bars", I'm gonna cry religious double standard. Sorry for the rant, I had to get that off my chest. :) And yes, the Mission Inn is a sometimes overlooked treasure of Riverside. There's a super-cool mid-century steak place nearby but I forgot the name. [ Edited by: JOHN-O 2010-02-01 13:17 ]
