Pico Rivera, California
Next to the Paradise Island Apartments.
Once the initial excitement of finding an actual tiki in the wild wore off, it was sad to see the general disrepair of the building and the whole area in general.
I was amazed a few months later when I found a tiki-themed Hawaiian shirt with an image of this very tiki on it - right down to the slant.

5430 Rosemead Boulevard Pico Rivera, California
I nearly locked the brakes on my poor car when I spotted this amazing tiki apartment building on Rosemead boulevard. I quickly pulled onto a side street and parked to take some photos.

A classic 1950's hotel name if ever there was one.

Opened in 19581, the Dal Rae looks like a great restaurant inside and out; See the Dal Rae web site for photos of the dining areas.
