As I remember it, the mural went from behind the bar and around the main dining room.

After the Leilani was closed and became The Stockpot (owned by Darlene Thornton whom my grandfather later married) they kept the decor. After it closed some years later, I don't know if there was an interim owner before John Morris moved in to open Legends.

I wish we kept it and more of the artifacts other than the Alan Woods original oil paintings.

Since I was still not of driving age, I didn't go back to the location until the early 80s and by then it was Legends which opened in 1979.
