What an incredibly rare glimpse into the Islander when it was up and running! The big, colorful wall designs look like those from the matchbook and business card, but blown up that gigantic, they remind me of Mayan temple carvings! Was that wall across from the bar? I can't make out their relation from the photos. I was trying to figure it out from what I remember actually standing in (after sneaking into) the Islander building earlier this year, but then I remembered that Latitude 20 didn't make the move out to Pollardville. I didn't see any tiki mugs... do you know if they were still using them then? Can you ask Jo? (And does she have any Bumatay mugs she doesn't want?) I guess all those ashtrays on the bar had Islander logos on them, though... wonder what happened to all the furniture? Those bar stools would be cool to track down... AWESOME sleuthing, abstract! http://ericoctober.com [ Edited by: tobunga 2010-05-28 22:24 ]
