Waitoma Grotto - Holly, MI - Collecting Tiki

Whatever that sign says, it is still kind of small, considering how far back from the road the place was. The sign for the lounge could have run across the whole wall, like this: ...and the tall sides of the oracle tower would have been a great place for a sign, too, a la Julian's: Without swooping signature signs, the place looks sort of barren...industrial. But like I said, either Fred was anti big neon signage...or the city was! [ Edited by: bigbrotiki 2009-04-07 07:33 ]
