Although I live in LB, working in Riverside affords a chance to stop by the old RT building. I golfed there around 2001 and knew nothing of its poly pop roots. I stopped by just before Labor Day and was able to sneak in the main A-frame part of the building and as reported, it is falling down.


A similar view as the postcard posted by Pa’akiki and DC. The "No Smoking" support post looks to be where the silver post is in the postcard.

Could that be the outline of the now filled in sunken bar in the carpet?

Anyway, it’s a goner any day now…sad times for all A frame's.

But things brightened up a bit. While shopping for old LP’s last weekend, my eyes lit up when I saw the Royal Tahitian LP for $6. The record is in pretty good shape and the cover jacket is pristine! Here are most of the photos from the back of the jacket that Bongofury had previously posted.







Looks like the sunken bar was Ontario hot spot!




Sorry, missed one!
