I can find the name Tee Cee's slightly earlier, in September of 1973. Ray Phillips passed away on June 3, 1974. The name "Lo-Ray's" appears to be nothing more than an abbreviated combination of his name (Ray) and his wife's (Lois). And though it's an empty lot now, I like the idea that the palms flanking this one particular driveway are kind of like the palms at 65th and San Pablo, the last remaining vestige of Trader Vics. They look too small, though!
