Every time I see one of these urban archeology finds, I have the same thoughts and I don't know that I've ever posted them. But, 8ft, you've got me all excited now so for what its worth...

Two avenues for obtaining photographs of the place might be:

A. Run an ad in the classifieds of the KC Star asking for pics or info. The demographics of people who'd remember a defunct tiki bar and those who still thoroughly read a good-ole' paper newspaper and might bother to write or call you ought to about mesh.

B. Contact the older photographers in the area. If the place had a banquet room, its likely that wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners, family reunions, anniversary parties, birthday parties, retirement parties, etc. were shot there on occasion. Some of the more anal-retentive photogs (like me) might still have negatives. Hope they are B/W, though even an aged color negative would still be interesting.

Btw, I'm glad you're on our side.
