Sabu Kewl info and postcards Sabu but your conclusion that the club was built during or just after the war may not be necessarily so as we held the Philippines as a territory from 1898 until 1946. Though that menu's copyright IS from 1943 and the photos have the look of no later than the 40's. I guess what I am speculating is that the club could have even been from the 20's or 30's, since it looks more like a nightclub (stage and all) then just a Polypop Tiki Bar. A matter of fact I see NO signs of post Trader Vic's Polypop or Tikis at all! :o [ Edited by: Rattiki on 2004-02-05 17:07 ]
