Found a few more images from Trader Vic's at the Benson Hotel on-line. Some cool-e-o stuff.

Color photos that came from the shoot done for the postcard.

Another view of the exterior.

A red awning has been added to the entrance, and look at that Tiki on the sidewalk towards the corner.

Cool shot of the bar, check out those Tiki bowls on the right of the bar.

A strange looking simian Tiki on the entrance sign.

Signature Trader Vic's Tiki.

dusty...

WOW! i need to find that shot of the signature tiki!

i own it and have been looking for a vintage shot her. i know she stared at the Beverly Hills location and then eventually moved to the Scottsdale, AZ Vics. I bought her from a friend of the manager when the original location in Scottsdale closed. she sat in his local dive bar until it closed in the early 2000s. it would be cool to know if she did go up to Portland at some point in-between.

i don't have a good shot of her handy but here's what she looks like today...

do we know that shot is actually from Portland? any tips of that Thomas Robinson archive?

thanks!
