Welcome to Holly Gardens Rehab Centre, formerly Hawaiian Gardens! Tai'd on one too many Mai Tai's? Experiencing Rumaki Remorse? You've come to the right place!


Looks like the scavengers got here first - parts of the facade where one would expect a tiki to be seemed to have been ripped right off.


Come in and stay a while in our luxury motel! We have all the amenities - plywood windows, natural 'frost-ee' air conditioning, and more!


The Grande Room features it's own eames-esque orange ashtray, and a view of the 'sno-kapped' geodesic dome!


Mind you, if you want to stay, you have to follow a few simple rules...


From our luxury jet age styled waiting room, you can see out across beautiful lake Mauna Loa! (not pictured).


All jocularity aside - this is the photo that makes you wanna cry - you can tell by looking at this one just how SCHVANK this joint must have been in it's heyday.

Thanks to Sabu and BigBro for the Additional info, and thanks to my husband's grandparents for driving me there to make this moment of urban archaeology possible.

A bientot,

The intrepid tikifish
