I was just enjoying the Flickr photostream of "Conejo Through The Lens" and found this nice vintage image of a local (Thousand Oaks, CA) family dining at the Trade Winds restaurant in Oxnard. http://www.flickr.com/photos/conejovalley/4990941459/in/photostream/

The Burns family at Trade Winds Restaurant, Oxnard
From left to right: Mary Burns, Paul Burns, Gail Burns, and Bob Burns at Trade Winds, circa 1963. Donated by Dawn Burns Bloom. Conejo Through the Lens, Thousand Oaks Library Special Collections Photo ID # CTLblo01.

Behind the cobra chair it appears that wine bottles with holes drilled in their bottoms are mounted end-to-end on heavy ropes suspended from the ceiling and are separated by round cork fishing net floats. An interesting decorative idea...

And if anyone knows where I can score a nice condition TW menu, grog list, ashtray, etc. please let me know!

Enjoy!
