I used to go to this restaurant when I was a kid. I have a postcard from it from 1977. I noticed no one had posted it yet. There used to be 2 clowns that performed a slapstick routine at the restaurant. I also have a photo of me sitting with them but I won't be posting that photo :wink:.

I guess it would help if I actually included the link to the image.

krikkitbot,

Thanks for posting that postcard, have not seen that one before. Now about your clown photo, did they look like these guys?

I found this photo on-line that is listed as being from the Mauna Loa in Mexico City.

Now lets see yours!

DC,

Those are not the same clowns but it is among the same lines. To protect the child in the photo, namely me, let's just leave it at that :wink:

We understand. Another life scarred by early childhood "scary clown" experiences... :wink:

Clowns scary???

In keeping with this week's trend, I picked up an oversized postcard from the Mauna Loa like the one Krikkitbot posted.

A few close ups.

The A-Frame,

The Tiki guarding the bridge.

The back of the card.

Hecho in Mexico!

I picked up one of the Mauna Loa postcards that Sabu had posted and did some close-ups.

The card.

The Tikis.

The bar and the "exotic drinks in ritual containers"

As described on the back of the card with the logo Tiki.

Another version of the older style headhunter mug.

Found a later, unmarked version of the Guerrero Fiji (a.k.a. "headhunter") mug with the depressed dots along the rim and the sharply angled handle.

This one is nearly identical to the unmarked version posted by Tikisgrl in 2009:

Anyone else have an unmarked one?
