Ok, last time I did this, it turned out to be a hot dog stand....

I was watching the third episode of the first season of "The Rookies" when a ambulance scene came on....and I saw a partial sign for a possible tiki establishment in the background.

In the background you can see a partially obscured sign for "lalaika" and underneith "ian restaurant" (Polynesian Restaurant?). I can't really make out what the mascot or whatever it is to the right.

Here's a bit of a blowup:

Further along the scene, there is a building with "Hollywood Executive Apartments" painted on it.

To try to figure out if it had been posted before in locating tiki, I did a search for hollywood, but didn't come up with anything close.

This is probably a "stock" scene, shot and used in numerous series that probably needed a "ambulance racing down the street scene", I wouldn't bet it being from 1972 (when the first season was produced) but it must have been from there or within a couple of years before.

This is probably nothing, same as the last time ( http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=40060&forum=1&hilite=but%20loose ) but I'm still curious.
