Description: Bob Brooks 7 Seas night club was a pre-tiki establishment (although they did have both physical tikis and tiki graphics in their menu and advertising...so a case could be made they they were full-blown tiki earlier than many think), originally opened at 6904 Hollywood Boulevard by Ray Haller in 1935. Capitalizing on the popularity of the South Pacific as a dream vacation destination, Haller borrowed ideas from the popular Don the Beachcomber club a few blocks away and decorated the 7 Seas with a collection of tropical plants, nautical items, lava rocks, and other items of decor that fit the Polynesian theme. The most notable feature was a corrugated tin roof upon which nightly tropical rain storms--complete with thunder and lightning.
Description: A stark and iconic album artwork from 1986 by The Smiths, The Queen Is Dead features a distressed, monochrome depiction of a reclining figure. The minimalist design, with its cracked texture and muted tones, reflects the record’s themes of melancholy, wit, and poetic rebellion—an enduring statement in alternative rock history.
