Do you have your TIKIYAKI ORCHESTRA CD YET ? http://www.tikiyakiorchestra.com [ Edited by: tikiyaki 2008-01-06 11:25 ] I wonder if you know of any place where we might find more information about the place from the Bowling angle? I've contacted the "descendant' of the ABC Sanctioning body, (United States Bowling Congress) and they replied that have nave no records earlier than the 80's. Anybody know of a "defunctbowling.com" site somewhere? The only other thing I could think of in that regard is contacting either AMF or Brunswick, whomever outfitted the Kapu Kai with Bowling machinery and pins....judging by the 2 stripes on the pins and the displays above the pinsetters, it looks like AMF. Perhaps they have pictures or records. They MAY have something....but it's so long ago. Also, the architectural firm who designed and built it...and then there is the Public Library of Cucamonga....They probably have some newspaper articles about the flood on Microfilm, as well as newspaper ads and articles on the place. Other than that, I don't know. Perhaps your mom has more info ?
