View of Main Street [Avenida Revolución], Tijuana, 1948. At right is the border region’s first pre-tiki bar, Aloha Cafe, established 1928.
The Aloha Cafe (1928-2011) Tijuana’s first pre-tiki bar, was sporadically located on Avenida Revolución (then known as Main Street by americanos) — for eighty years! It changed hands, was burned down and rebuilt several times, but stood the test of time until a fire in 2011 finally shut down the place.
I have a photo that shows Aloha Cafe circa 1930. Where can I post it?

Excited to see it, thanks!
