Welll, it's going, but not going strong...as I hinted there is next to nothing left of the original decor:

Not Tiki in concept, it was nevertheless "exotic" in theme: Above you see the "Egyptian" and the "Pyramid Room" with some cool mural figures that are long gone.

The coffee shop is closed...

...but the urban archeologist finds these original signs left that give you an idea of the brass murals:

The coolest thing is really that A-frame with its folded-plate porte cochere..

...and the textured concrete tile wall by the entrance:

Oh, and the fact that, though obviously updated with a new-ish sign, the hair salon has kept the old concept name :)

Now...are you gonna find out about the Beachcomber Bowl ? :D
