Its current length is 806 feet. Since the 1960s, it has featured an A-frame entry, but no tikis. Very interesting: It seems to be a Florida custom to use the A-Frame as a sign.I thought Julian's was unique in that way, but then that shopping center with The Tropics, Ellinor Village appeared, and now this entrance. This is very much in keeping with the Googie and Roadside architecture concept of "the building as a sign".
