Back in the 60s when I was a small child attending a day care/pre-school in Costa Mesa - I remember the car-ride home after my father would pick me up in the afternoon. We would pass several Polynesian themed apartment complexes, most of them with A-frame entrances, operating gas torches and waterfalls out front. I took those themed buildings for granted as a kid. It wasn't until much later that I became interested in mid-century style - especially documenting what I could around my hometown environment before stuff disappeared. Unfortunately much of my childhood already did :(
