Hank Rosenfeld answers, "What the %$#@ is Moomat Ahiko?"
The sign in Santa Monica hung over Off-Ramp contributor Hank Rosenfeld like a an overdue DWP bill. "Moomat Ahiko." A small mystery he unravelled with the help of a chanteuse. (That's French for beautiful singer, or possibly an anise flavored drink.) (Photo: YoVenice on Flikr. Yo Venice also has the backstory on the sign - COME INSIDE for a link.)
