What would you like to know? I worked in the Southland Life Building from 1978-1980. At least once a week friends I worked with in the building and I would go to Ports 'O Call for happy hour. I was young and not making much money so they had free appetizers at the bar so that was dinner. The place definitely was kitchy and probably beginning to look a bit dated. They had a piano or organ player every afternoon who also sang some. The decore was as you'll see it in photos and much as I remember. Not sure how much more I can tell you. And some memories might be mixed up with another restaurant atop Southland Tower called The Chapparel Club.
