Name:Tahiti Village Description: I tried (unsuccessfully) for this amazing postcard on ebay a while back - the Tahiti Village apartments in Pomona.
Looks like it had all of the trappings of a Polynesian Pop Paradise, with an A-Frame entrance and entertainment area by the pool grounds.

Someone needs to take a drive-by to see what's left. DC |

I wonder if Eli Hedley was involved with the Tahiti Village also...
