Next to the Tonga Lei? Down a couple of lots? This blog gets into the specifics and places it by a restaurant called "The Sandcastle" (see replies): http://www.cavalier92.com/anotherdelcoguy/2008/11/the-view-from-jim-rockfords-trailer.html The irony is that not only (very much in L.A.style) none of the buildings around it seem to be left, even the BEACH has washed away to some degree! I would love to see this episode, the very last of the series, which plays in Hawaii: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0688072/
