Matchbook Masterpieces - III

Another visit to these marvels in miniature.

A non-restaurant cover, this is a jazz-age symphony in black and white:

Really enjoying these matchbook covers. What nostalgia! Might have to look for this building next time I am in Moss Beach.

It has quite a history - Bootlegging, a speakeasy, and a ghost! The restaurant looks like it would be a great place to see the sunset, hidden away from highway 1 on the other side of the airport.

Oh, wait! I have been there. Just not lately because I didn’t like the food, but it’s been so long I will try it again.

Moss beach looks like a nice place to base a vacation from. With two other couples it would be almost "affordable": https://www.vrbo.com/1035611?adultsCount=2&arrival=2022-01-20&departure=2022-01-24&unitId=1583559
