I have a brown Moai "The Tikis" mug with the San Gabriel name also. Not sure why The Tiki's would change that from "Monterey Park" since they were clearly in Monterey Park. The city of San Gabriel is just northeast of it, and Monterey Park is on the southwest side of San Gabriel Valley but they weren't really in south San Gabriel. The map today shows Monterey Park as being in west San Gabriel Valley, but there are newer cities in the south since the '60s and early '70s, so they might have been considered as being in the south back then.
