Zombie Village

The outside of this matchbook is design with a horizontal format, so the words "Zombie Village" and the beach scene of "tropical type" buildings and the palm trees run from the back to the front of the matchbook. "65th and San Pablo Avenue, Oakland, California." Inside is blue with white writing: "Zombie Village, California's most unique restaurant and rum house, Southern and Chinese foods. Piedmont 5700. We offer for sale or rent: tapa clothes, shells, shell necklaces, hula skirts, Hawaiian shirts, curios, etc. Hot drink mugs. We will trade for South Sea curios. We will decorate in the South Sea motif for special occasions."

Zombie Village was directly across San Pablo Avenue (in Oakland) from Trade Vic's.
