There's a Sonic Burger in Anaheim, one in Shafter, and 8 in Bakersfield. I think Shafter is the next town over from Bakersfield.

When it comes to this stuff, I'm a total idiot... Tonight I dug out the two suits I have that fit me somewhat. I found a gray wool suit that was made locally. I got it at goodwill for 5.00 when I was in college. It has a matching vest, but I didn't put it on. I called the store that sold it, and th...

People like this who spam BBses & forums are called "Street Teamers." Street Teamers can be spotted by the fact they only make 1 or 2 posts, usually massively off topic, and don't give any specifics about the band, movie or TV series they're pushing. Deodoralife could've mentioned that there are 3 d...

There was a post about a CD like what you're looking for, from the always busy Hanford Lemore on , called the .

I've been seeing more & more about Bus Rapid Transit (mentioned in several of the posts above, & in several of the letters in the post just above) as an alternative to expanding freeways, at-grade light rail, busways, etc. The problem that I see with BRT is also one of it's strengths: that BRT is am...

I'm probably going to have my 1 year old Gran'daughter that night, so the answer's "no" unless I don't have her. Of course if I don't have her I'll be too depressed to go... :cry: I'll try, maybe I'll be there with my wife & dad. I've told my older daughter to go since she likes Tiki & Von Franco, b...

Satan's Sin, I must be a little slow, I've only just noticed that you're from the South Bay! :D We're always glad to find Modern fans down here in the bottom left corner, it's just that so many seem to be from West Side LA & the San Fernando Valley... There's alot of Mid-Cen Modern in the Midwest & ...

Did you ask the Dry Cleaner specifically to try to remove the offensive odor? Some Dry Cleaners'll specialize in cleaning & repairing vintage clothing. Thay may cost a little more than the guy on the corner, but they've probably handled the BO problem before. Have you checked Smart & Final or a jani...

I'd heard that they're not taking any more dinner reservations, that they're just about full-up in the dining rooms, but there still should be room to sit at the bars. This should show the Bahooka management that Tiki, Hot Rod & Mid Mod culture is good business. If there's not room at the bars, it'l...

Mrs. Carnaby, have you checked out Tiki Central for your Tiki Fix? You might be able to hook up with some of the Euro Tikiphiles in France, the UK, Germany & Belgium. and I have yet to meet anyone over here who knows the French translation for Tiki, Bachelor Pad, Jet-Set and "South American Getwaway...

I miss the old KPCC before Larry Mantle talked the school into selling the station to PRI :roll: , especially after they began adding more good mid-century lounge to the Swing they'd been playing for years. I DJed there back in the mid-80s & loved all that stuff (except maybe Ray Conniff & Ray Antho...

For Hors' Deouvres check out the Pu-Pu Platter thread on Tiki Central's Tiki Drinks & Food forum, or check for recipes on FoodTV.com (my favorite appetizer's probably Maui Short Ribs); For drinks check that same forum & look for Beachbum Berry's "Intoxica!" & "Grog Log" books (make mine Mai-Tai!); F...
